QUIET day on the home front as only a handful of English and Scottish Reserve games so going take the opportunity to take advantage of a rare Monday full card in the Dutch second tier.
There are 10 games being played and I'm backing goals from a league that produces plenty of them with games easily racking up for four or five goals.
Dutch Eerste Divisie (7pm)
The Eerste is a firm favourite with the site on a Friday night and is the highest-scoring second tier of any of the main leagues in Europe. All but one of the 20 teams in this league average over 2.5 goals and with half the clubs averaging over 3 goals a game its no surprise it's a favourite league goals.
Sadly prices reflect this with games priced up incredibly short so rather than identify games to make a worthwhile double or treble I'm going to back a joint league effort and a market I like, total match goals.
Sky Bet have markets set at 34+ at even money and yes that averages out just over 3 goals per game needed, however, with a full card you can almost guarantee at least 2 or 3 of these games will goal goals crazy and deliver us 5 or 6+ tally.
Those games give you a bit of a buffer if any of the other matches fall below three and there isn't usually too many of them.
Looking through the fixtures quite a few stand out for goals and they should set us in good stead to reach 34 goals especially as we are now in the business end of the season.
It's a fair enough target to hit and I like the market especially when you have a full card, for me, more games in this league see goals than don't which gives this a great chance.

Agree with all these Greg – looks like the over 2.5mg is in with a good shout for the first time in weeks
Here’s hoping Al, good luck 👍🏼
Been doing this market myself for last month or so with mixed results. Friday never really got going with only 12 or so first half goals finished 7 goals shy with 27, but some weeks it sails in. It’s a fun bet though, especially when your FlashScores is going mental. Ha
Good Luck
Yeah can be hit or miss some weeks, we know we’ll see some of the games deliver five or six goals. Hoping few see less than 2 goals
Shouldn’t be far away
Gone for the o2.5msg acca in those 10 and also gone for a goal to be scored in each half on a separate bet.
Odds are pretty much the same as the o2.5mgs.
Fingers crossed for goals 🤞🤞🤞
1 goal short to keep the goal in both halves acca going, oh well
20 goals in 1st half 👍
Sparta Rotterdam game lets down goal in each game in first half and the standard 46 minute goal comes….
Aaaaargh
And now 50th min goal…
Wow
Well in Greg 35 goals with plenty to spare
Oh no sparta game again…
Sparta are now my least favourite team. Beat the goal in 1st half bet and the over 2.5 goals bet 😩
So close to a bumper pay day, gutted
Stats were ridiculous too for Sparta. Something like 23 shots…
Something smells fishy to me. Bet Victor refused to let me cash out didn’t give me and option when all I needed was 2 goals to bring up the over 2.5mgs and there was load of time left only needing 2 goals.
Something to do with the Twente game not being covered in play???
That game had already gone over 2.5 ages ago.
Some NAP yet again Greg 👍 The saint Greg browning? The Goals God Greg!
Sparta had a goal chopped off in 87th minute too! Went 3-0 on 365 but went back to 2-0
Yeah, started sweating then big time haha bet Victor just wouldn’t even give me a cash out option at all. Don’t know if I can maybe bring it up with them or something
The cash out is at the end of the day a bookies benefit.
It works for them more than punters but in this case it suited them.
In my experience they’ll choose when it’s available and there’s nothing you can do if it’s not.
Just realised sparta game ruined 3 bets. Sick..
Ruddy food run you’re on Mr Browning.
I’m always on the cautious side so done the O1.5 in each match. Brilliant.
Cheers
Rogers over.
Good* run ….
I usually leave the two biggest prices out when I do the bet but Sparta weren’t one of them.
As well as tipping NAPs regularly he is also doing the food run for bacon rolls. Some guy 🤣
I’m Good that way mate 😂
Great results tonight, well done
Really good tipping Greg,
Your form has been MAGICAL the last few weeks.
I am hurting a bit with Sparta today.
However the profit made recently has been nothing short of FANTASTIC
Cheers gents
It’s a real sore one not just because it did us all out of a massive win but they way it happened. Dissallowed goals and the fact it was 2-0 with 40 off mins left to play
Still, a good night. On to tomorrow 👍🏼
