Pro League Betting Tips

The Goals Sheet has flagged Viborg v Aarhus as an opportunity for a BTTS bet on Friday evening, with the visitors recently a good team for goals.

All five of their competitive matches this season have seen both teams score.

They have scored two or more goals in each of their last three games, and Aarhus conceded two last time out in the league at newly-promoted Lyngby.

This is the highest-rated game on Friday’s Both Teams to Score Goals Sheet.

Waalwijk kicked off their season with a 1-1 draw at Vitesse, while Dordrecht also saw BTTS land when they beat Jong Ajax 2-1.

Both meetings between these two saw BTTS land this season, as Waalwijk finished the season with the 5th-best attack.

This Eredivisie clash is the 2nd-highest rated for BTTS on Friday evening’s Goals Sheet.

Telstar’s opener saw 35 shots, they lost the xG battle 2.15-1.66 at NEC Nijmegen but managed to come away with a 2-1 win.

Sparta Rotterdam generated 0.97 xG in their game, but were beaten 1-0 at home to Feyenoord.

This fixture last season ended 4-1 to Telstar.

Both fixtures between this pair saw both teams to score land last season.

It actually landed in the first half the last time they met, in March.

The last six Eerste Divisie head-to-heads, dating back to August 2023, have all seen both sides find the net.

Both sides saw BTTS landed in their Belgian top-flight openers.

It has also landed in the last five meetings between the two.

BTTS came in during the first half of Standard Liege 2-2 Cercle Brugge on Saturday.

The hosts are favourites for this match, but they did concede chances equating to 3.56 xG in their season opener.

St Truiden’s 2.23 xG in their 1-1 draw with Lommel suggests they are more than capable of getting on the scoresheet on their travels.

After finishing rock bottom of the Premier League last season, Wolves kick off their Championship campaign at Molineux, as they face Blackburn on Friday night.

Not much has changed for Wolves in terms of personnel - the most notable loss over the summer has been Joao Gomes, but other than that their core squad has remained intact. In fact, they have made a couple of shrewd signings, as Raul Jimenez will make his return to the Midlands. Kieran Tripper has also joined from Newcastle, adding valuable experience at right back, while Ladislav Krejci has also completed a permanent move. 

Wolves struggled to compete in the top flight last season, but they have more than enough quality to mount a serious push for the promotion spots this season, and they will hope to start strong against a Blackburn side who finished just five points above the drop zone last term.

Cercle Brugge kicked off their campaign in the Belgian Pro League with a 2-2 draw against Standard Liege last time out, in what was an entertaining contest.

Cercle were battling towards the bottom of the league last season, but they survived relegation. With that being said, they still managed to score 53 goals in their 36 matches, which shows how effective they can be going forward. 

BTTS has landed in each of the last five head-to-head matches between these sides, including twice last season. Sint Truidense were also a good side to watch in the previous campaign, and they managed to finish third to give them a chance of competing in the Europa League.

They started the current season with a 1-1 draw against Lommel, so goals are a target again here.

LASK have made an excellent start to their Austrian Bundesliga campaign, collecting six points from their opening two fixtures which puts them at the top of the standings.

Both victories have been encouraging - they opened their account with a 3-0 win over GAK, before securing a 2-0 win against Austria Wien on their travels. 

SV Reid haven’t quite been as convincing, having only picked up one point in their two league matches so far. That includes a 2-1 defeat against Rapid Wien last time out. This upcoming trip to the Raidesseisen Arena seems like a daunting one for SV Reid, and LASK look like strong favourites to take all three points. 

Galatasaray kick off their title defence against newly-promoted Corum on Friday night, and the hosts will be confident of starting their campaign with three points at the Rams Park Stadium. Galatasaray have so far retained the services of key players like Victor Osimhen, Leroy Sane and Gabriel Sara, while they have added Lesley Ugochukwu from Burnley. 

They have an incredibly strong side on paper, and Corum could be in for a long night as they make their first ever appearance in the Turkish Super Lig. Even though they arrive with the wind in their sails after winning the playoff final at the end of last season, there is a significant gulf in quality between these two sides, and Galatasaray should dominate proceedings on home turf.

Telstar come into this clash against Sparta Rotterdam as slight favourites, but there is very little to split the two teams, and it is expected to be an even contest. Telstar picked up three points against NEC Nijmegen last time out, and they will be looking forward to returning to the BUKO Stadium.

They won just five of their 17 home matches in the league last season, but their games were incredibly open with chances typically available at both ends of the field. In their 17 matches, they scored 31 and conceded 28. 

Telstar won 4-1 in this fixture last season against Sparta Rotterdam, which will give them confidence, but the visitors will be confident of at least getting on the scoresheet again here.

My Goals Sheet’s rating for this game is 8.80 for Both Teams to Score.

Union St Gilloise began their domestic season with a 5-1 win at Westerlo, and they just lost out to Bodo/Glimt in Champions League qualifying 6-5 on aggregate, drawing 3-3 before losing 3-2 in extra time in the second leg.

BTTS landed in Zulte’s first game of the season as well; they came back late on to beat Genk 2-1 at home.

This game is rated 7.40 for Both Teams to Score by my Goals Sheet.

Barnet and Salford are amongst the pre-season favourites for promotion, and should be two of the best attacking sides in the division.

Both sides saw BTTS land in their EFL Cup first round ties last weekend and will be looking to land an early blow in the fourth tier promotion race.

BTTS landed in one of their head-to-heads last season, as Salford did the double over the Bees, but Barnet did generate 2.12 xG across the two games, showing that they can create good chances against them.

My Goals Sheet rates this game at 7.33 for Both Teams to Score.

Both sides are fancied for the play-offs, at least in League Two this season, and this is York’s first game after promotion back to the EFL, after winning the National League with 108 points last term and a +73 goal difference.

Rovers saw BTTS in four of their last five games of last season.

This game is rated 7.48 for Both Teams to Score on my Goals Sheet.

Leuven saw BTTS as they were beaten 3-1 at Charleroi last weekend, in a game that produced a total xG of 4.38 (1.30 from Leuven).

The last two head-to-heads have seen BTTS land, and Club Brugge looked in fine form as they beat Kortrijk 3-0 to kick off the campaign, generating 3.85 xG in the process.

This is the highest-rated game for Both Teams to Score on Saturday, according to my Goals Sheet, which gives it a rating of 8.85.

Five of the last six head-to-heads have seen both teams score, and both sides saw over 3.5 goals in their season openers.

Cambuur lost 4-0 last week, but they should get on the scoresheet this time around. They weren’t hopeless last time out, generating 0.72 xG from 11 shots, and Sittard were far from solid - allowing PSV 2.56 xG in their 2-2 draw.

Fortuna Sittard only drew six of their 34 games in the Eredivisie last season, only Heracles (4) and PSV (3) drew less games than the home side here.

Their 17 home games produced 57 goals (3.35 per game) with a fairly equal split when it comes to goals scored and goals conceded (28-29).

This selection landed in all three of Fortuna Sittard’s friendly matches ahead of the new campaign as they take on a newly promoted Cambuur side.

Cambuur only drew four of their 19 away matches in the Eerste Divisie last season, seeing 60 goals across these games (3.15 per game). 

Union St Gilloise have seen BTTS in each of their last seven matches, seeing BTTS & No Draw in five of these games.

They came away 5-1 winners over Westerlo in their opening league game of the campaign, notably managing 10 shots on target. 

USG only drew two of their 20 home matches in the Belgian Pro League last season, scoring 43 goals in the process.

Zulte have seen BTTS in each of their last six matches, notably winning five of these games. Only five of their 18 away matches ended in a draw in the Belgian top flight last term, with these games producing 57 goals (3.16 per game).

Two of the last three head to head meetings between these sides have seen BTTS & No Draw.

My Goals Sheet rates this game at 7.78 for Both Teams to Score.

Anderlecht have seen both teams score in four of their five competitive games this season, their opening league game and three of their four Europa League qualifying outings.

Newly-promoted Beveren were beaten 2-1 at Antwerp last time out, taking the lead and having the better of the first half before being pegged back in the second period.

They generated 0.90 xG in that game, which is a promising start heading into their first league home game of the campaign.

My Goals Sheet rates this one at 7.78 for Both Teams to Score.

There’s a much bigger set of season-long data to look at in the Eliteserien, heading into gameweek 17.

Valerenga have been a good follow for BTTS, with the bet landing in three of their last four in the league, they beat Aalesund 6-1 in July and impressively won 3-2 away at 6th-placed Brann in that period.

Aalesund are 2nd-bottom, one point from safety, and have seen BTTS land in all of their nine games.

The Community Shield final gets a rating of 8.65 for Both Teams to Score on my Goals Sheet.

The last four Community Shield games have seen BTTS, including Arsenal v Man City in 2023 (1-1 with Arsenal winning on pens).

Enzo Maresca is an attacking manager and will be desperate to get one over Mikel Arteta, with these clubs being the two clear favourites for the Premier League title this campaign.

My Goals Sheet has flagged this game for a Both Teams to Score bet, rating it at 7.48.

Both sides won to nil in their first game of the season, and the bet has won in two of Heerenveen’s last three away trips to play Ajax.

The hosts are very strong favourites and will be focussing on the league this season, at least for the bulk of it, with only Europa Conference League action to contend with alongside their domestic efforts, if they can progress from the final round of qualifiers.

My Goals Sheet rates this game at 7.63 for Both Teams to Score.

The bet landed in both teams’ season openers, with Charleroi looking especially potent in attack as they beat Leuven 3-1 and generated 3.08 xG in the process.

It’s a massive occasion for Lommel, their first top-flight home games for over two decades, and they showed enough promise in their 1-1 draw at St Truiden last time out (St Truiden came 3rd last season) to be worth a BTTS bet this weekend.

This game is rated at 9.40 by my Goals Sheet for Over 1.5 Goals.

Nine of the last 10 Community Shield games have seen this bet land.

That includes Arsenal 1-1 Man City in 2023 (Arsenal won on pens).

Both sides are capable of covering this line on their own, and it’s a good chance to land an early punch ahead of their respective title pushes.

The last five head-to-heads between these two have all seen two or more goals.

My Goals Sheet rates this game at 9.00 for Over 1.5 Goals.

Only Barcelona and Real Madrid scored more La Liga goals last season than Villarreal, so they can land this bet on their own.

This is Racing Santander’s first game back in La Liga since 2011/12, they topped the second tier last season - and were comfortably the division’s best attacking team, netting 2.14 goals per game.

The two played in the Copa Del Rey last season, with Racing winning 2-1; expect an enterprising opening weekend clash.

The Goals Sheet loves this game for Over 1.5 Goals, rating it at 9.55.

It landed for both sides last week, with Lommel drawing 1-1 at St Truiden and Charleroi winning 3-1 at home to Leuven.

Charleroi scored in 15 of their 20 league away games last season and should get on the scoresheet at newly-promoted Lommel.

Lommel themselves generated 1.72 xG in their first league game, so should create enough chances at home to contribute to this bet.

The Goals Sheet likes this game for Over 1.5 Goals, giving it a rating of 8.93.

Both sides won promotion from the Turkish second tier last season, and both their head-to-heads in that campaign saw Over 1.5 Goals (2-2 and 2-0 to Erzurumspor).

Amed saw 3.24 goals per game in the second tier last season, and Erzurumspor scored in 37 of their 38 league outings.

My Goals Sheet has this game at 8.93 for Over 1.5 Goals.

Lazio are heavily odds-on to win this Coppa Italia first round tie.

They are as short as 1.36 in places to cover this line on their own and score twice or more.

Mantova came 9th in Serie B last season and are unlikely to tame this Lazio, who have been free-scoring in pre-season and can lay down a marker for the campaign after a disappointing 25/26.
