2.5 Goals Market: Boxing Day Special

We’re anticipating three low scoring games in the top flight but a thriller in the Championship which come together as a 6/1 acca with Ladbrokes.

Sunderland v Hull (3/5) UNDER 2.5 goals:

The Mackems’ improvement has been largely built around a tidy defence and 6 of Sunderland’s last 7 outings have witnessed 2 goals or fewer. Hull are on a wretched run but they aren’t particularly leaking goals; their problems are all down the other end. None of the Tigers’ 4 games in December have produced more than 2 goals.

Palace v Southampton (8/13) UNDER 2.5 goals:

Only 2 of the Saints’ 8 away fixtures in the top flight have produced more than 2 goals with the majority only seeing a solitary 1. The Eagles are another one of the struggling sides who defend better than they attack. That’s why 4 of their last 5 games have only seen 2 goals or fewer and why the Londoners haven’t won any of them.

Swansea v Aston Villa (4/5) UNDER 2.5 goals:

Aston Villa matches have seen far fewer goals (32) than the next leanest in the division (38) so Lambert’s boys are always worth a look in this market. They face a Swansea side whose matches at the Liberty Stadium have seen 2 goals or fewer more often that not as well this season which seals the deal where this wager is concerned.

Bournemouth v Fulham (6/11) OVER 2.5 goals:

The two Championship teams who have seen the most goals in their matches clash at the Goldsands Stadium as Bournemouth (75) face Fulham (74). The Cherries have been far more successful given they are top of the league, but the Cottagers are the 5th highest scorers, but with the joint-worst defence. Perfect for this bet.
