NOT sure how many folk have been on the forum for 4 or 5 years but long-term regulars may recall my obsession with the NZ Youth games – to this day there has never been a league quite like it for the sheer number of goals in games.
Unfortunately both 365 and then finally Coral eventually dropped the markets but by Christ it was good while it lasted!
I saw a few rogue games pop up last year and more recently but I was more than happy to see a couple of old names crop up in a H2H which bet365 are (very kindly) covering.
Auckland City U20s v Hawke's Bay Utd U20s (11pm)
Back in the day Auckland City were pretty good and Hawke’s Bay were bobbins … no change there then as the hosts head into this one looking to make it 3 wins on the bounce and a 100% start to the campaign whilst HB sit mid-table having won one and lost one.
H2H-wise Auckland City have won the last 3 at home with victories of 2-1, 5-0 and 5-2 with recent home form reflecting a similar pattern of 6-7-3-4-4-6 match goals in their last 6 successive home games.
Hawke’s Bay#s own match goal form gives yet another indicator as to why I was so gutted when Coral finally dropped the markets. Over the last 20 most recent games there has been a pretty impressive tally of 4-3-6-3-8-3-3-6-5-6-4-1-5-6-2-8-7-9-5-5 goals!
There are absolutely no guarantees in this betting lark but I have said before I place my most valued 3 betting destinations in this order – 3. South America 2. Iceland 1. New Zealand Youth. Let’s hope the NZ goal gods are still on side!

Is it the same as over 4.5 goals??
