Scott Thornton's BTTS 10/3 Weekend Acca

Julen Lopetegui will be given time to transform West Ham, and they’ve had some tricky fixtures to kick off this campaign. They have already faced two of last season’s top four in their four Premier League matches. The Hammers face another tough test in Saturday’s early game. Last season, West Ham matches saw plenty of goals with an average of 3.58 goals per game, well above the league average of 3.28. This has dropped to 2.75 goals in their four matches in this campaign, but the Hammers have managed to score in all four of their games to this point.

Enzo Maresca’s side have seven points after four matches. Chelsea games this season have seen an average of 3.25 goals per game, but this is largely due to the eight goals scored in their match against Wolves. However, both teams have scored on four of their last five visits to this stadium and those matches have seen an average of 3.4 goals.

Leicester received a huge boost when it was confirmed that they wouldn’t face a points deduction in the Premier League for breaching profit and sustainability rules in the Championship. Nevertheless, they continue to search for their first league win. Both teams have scored in all four of the Foxes’ matches in the league so far. Those games have seen an average of three goals per game. Leicester spent last season in the second tier, but this bet has landed in four of the last five matches between these sides at the King Power Stadium.

Sean Dyche’s side are bottom of the league, below Southampton on goal difference. Everton have conceded the most goals in the Premier League with an average of 3.25 per game. The team have squandered two-goal leads in their last two league outings, so goals are most definitely on the agenda here.

Athletic Bilbao are in action against Leganes on Thursday, but it is their weekend clash with Celta de Vigo that we have singled out for goals. Ernesto Valverde’s side have won two of their five matches at the time of writing and need to put a good run together.

Bilbao’s first five league matches have seen an average of 2.4 goals and both teams have scored in three of those. Recent clashes with Celta Vigo show more promise. There were 10 goals across their two league meetings last season and this bet landed in both. Celta de Vigo will be delighted with the start they have made after a tumultuous 2023/24 season. They are currently 5th in the league having amassed a total of nine points. Celta de Vigo matches have seen an average of 4.6 goals, scoring an average of 2.6 per game. Both teams have scored in all five of their leagues matches to this point so let’s hope that continues on Sunday.
