Scott Thornton's BTTS 23/10 Weekend Acca
Borussia Monchengladbach narrowly avoided the Bundesliga’s relegation playoff last season. They wound up finishing just a point above 16th place and will be hoping to avoid those perils this term. Gerardo Seoane’s side best Bochum 2-0 on the road last weekend. They also put up a tremendous fight in their only home game of the season so far as they were beaten 3-2 by the champions. They beat Stuttgart 3-1 in this fixture last season and goals are most definitely on the agenda once again.
Stuttgart finished 2nd in the league last season and secured Champions League football as a result. They are still awaiting their first win of the current season, but the stats bode well for our bet. There has been 10 goals across Stuttgart’s two matches in the Bundesliga so far. Both teams have scored in eight of their last nine head-to-heads with Monchengladbach. Those matches saw an average of 3.56 goals.
Fulham have four points after three matches and are looking extend their winning run over the Hammers. They beat them in both Premier League meetings last season but there have been huge changes in the summer. Marco Silva’s sides matches so far this season haven’t been goal-friendly with an average of just two goals per game. Nevertheless, this bet has won in their last two matches.
Julen Lopetegui has been drafted in to replace David Moyes as West Ham manager. The former Spain and Real Madrid boss arrives with a good reputation but has only managed one win in his opening three Premier League matches. West Ham we’re often criticised for being negative under the previous boss but there has been plenty of entertainment when they’ve took to the field in the early stages of this season. Their matches have seen an xG of 3.65, the most in the division. Both teams have scored in two of their three league matches.
Wolves picked up their first point of the Premier League season in their last match against Nottingham Forest. Gary O’Neil’s side finished well clear of the relegation zone in the last campaign, but the underlying data suggested they were a little fortunate to avoid the headache of the battle against the drop.
Gary O’Neil’s side’s matches have seen the joint most goals in the top tier of English football so far this season with an average of four per game. This is largely due to their 6-2 defeat against Chelsea but both teams have scored in their last two league games.
Newcastle failed to qualify for Europe with their league finish last season, but they have started this campaign in fine fettle. They best Tottenham 2-1 in their last game and will fancy their chances here.
Both teams have scored in Newcastle’s last two league matches. This bet has also won on their last six visits to Molineux. Those matches have seen an average of 2.5 goals.
