Groningen have seen more goals per game than any other side in the Eredivisie this season (4.0 per game).

Their five home games have produced 22 goals (4.40 per game), with an exact split in the number of goals scored and conceded. They’ve only won two of these games too, suggesting that their style of play is entertaining but not that effective.

Sparta Rotterdam have seen 3+ goals in 90% of their matches in the Eredivisie this season, which is the joint highest tally in the division alongside their opponents here and Excelsior.

Sparta have only managed to win one of their four away games in the Eredivisie this season, but have still scored eight goals across these games. Unsurprisingly, Groningen have only kept one clean sheet this term - while Sparta are one of six sides in the Eredivisie yet to keep a single shutout.

Como have been really impressive in the early stages of the season.

That 4-1 win over Man Utd in the Champions League seems to have acted as an extra catalyst for Cesc Fabregas’ side - who have won both of their matches in Serie A since that victory.

Como have avoided defeat in all three of their home games this season, winning two of these matches and only conceding one goal. 

No side has conceded fewer goals than Como at home in Serie A this term, which is likely to be the point of difference between the sides.

Venezia sit rock bottom of Serie A having lost eight of their opening nine matches. The only side they’ve beaten was Napoli at home, which was a bit of a fluke result if you look at the underlying numbers.

Their away form is particularly alarming, losing all four of their matches on the road and conceding nine goals in the process. Como should be able to extend their winning run here, against the worst side in Serie A.

Groningen have scored 24 times in 10 league games, scoring at least twice in all five home league games.

On home soil, average a hefty 1.91 xG. Those chances have led to them having the joint top and second-top goalscorers in the league in  Willumsson and Van Bergen.

Opponents Sparta have conceded 24 in 10 and have averaged a whopping 2.01 xGA in away games.

August the 14th was also the last time they conceded less than two goals in a match.

Twente are fourth in the Eredivisie and keeping pace with the big three.

Their 2.24 average xG is hugely impressive and can only be bettered by the three above them and even then, it’s very marginal.

They’ve landed this selection six of 10 league games, which includes netting three against PSV.

Excelsior have been hopeless at home. They’ve lost three out of four, shipping two in each of those defeats.

They conceded five to Groningen in their last home game and have conceded two or more in five of their last six.

Lazio are flying. They’re unbeaten, have won eight of nine matches and have scored 22 goals in the process.

They’ve scored two or more in 7 of 9 Serie A games and average 1.69 xG at home.

Cagliari concede a huge 1.98 xG on average and have shipped 10 in their last three, including four in each of their last two away games.

Trabzonspor are flying at the moment, winning each of their last six matches - including wins over Galatasaray and Besiktas.

This run has moved them a bit closer to the league leaders in Galatasaray, and that gap could close to three points if results go the way of the home side here.

Salah clearly finds this league too easy, he’s registered 11 goal contributions across his eight starts in the division and is unsurprisingly Trabzonspor’s top goalscorer.

Gaizentep have only won two of their nine games in the Turkish Super Lig this season, notably losing four of their last five matches ahead of this clash. 

I worry about their scoring power against Trabzonspor here, the home side have scored 13 more goals than their opponents and that is likely to be the main point of difference here. Trabzonspor have also only conceded one goal at home this season. 

Building on Liverpool’s higher levels of aggression this season, leading to them committing way more fouls than they did last season, backing them to pick up 2+ cards looks like a decent angle here.

Only Aston Villa have drawn more cards from their opponents (3.25 per game) than Arsenal (3.13 per game), with Mikel Arteta’s side winning more fouls than any other side in the division (15.50 per game).

Liverpool have picked up 2+ cards in 75% of their Premier League matches this term, and this matchup looks like a really strong one for them to pick up at least two cautions again. 

Andoni Iraola’s side have picked up 17 yellow cards in total across their eight matches (2.25 per game). The referee for this clash is Andy Madley, who is averaging 4.0 cards per game in the Premier League this term.
