After falling an East Fife goal short on Saturday, Sunday’s Football Bet of the Day sees me head to the French top flight, and I’ve highlighted a goals-based selection.
⚽️ Angers vs Brest
🇫🇷 Ligue 1
⏰ Sunday 5 January, 14:00
Brest will look to move into the top half of the Ligue 1 table on Sunday afternoon as they travel to the Stade Raymond Kopa to take on third-bottom Angers in a fixture that appeals to me for goals.
Alexandre Dujeux’s hosts have scored 14 goals across their opening 15 contests back in the French top flight, with nine (64%) of them coming in front of their supporters.
Les Noirs et Blancs have found the back of the net in six of their past seven league outings on home soil – striking on multiple occasions in two of the past three – and will look to trouble a Brest backline that has yet to register a clean sheet on their travels this season, shipping multiple goals in 6/7 (86%) of them.
Eric Roy’s visitors have scored 24 goals across their opening 15 Ligue 1 contests this campaign, with seven (29%) of them coming on their travels.
The Pirates have failed to score in just three of their league outings – notching on multiple occasions in seven of their past 13 – and will be confident of breaching an Angers defence that has recorded just two shutouts in Ligue 1 this season, shipping 26 goals.
Bet of the Day
Angers’ opening seven Ligue 1 contests in front of their supporters this term have averaged an eye-catching 3.86 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals paying out in five of the past six.
Brest’s opening 15 Ligue 1 outings this season have averaged an eye-catching 3.40 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals paying out in 10 of the last 14.
What’s more, Brest’s 10 away fixtures in Ligue 1 and the Champions League this season have averaged 3.50 goals per game, with Over 2.5 Goals landing in each of the past nine, and I’m happy to have a play on another high-scoring encounter in Western France on Sunday afternoon.
