Winterthur sit rock bottom of the Swiss Super League, but are always a good side to back for high scoring encounters. They’ve conceded an eye catching 41 goals across their 14 matches in the Swiss top flight (2.92 per game), which is a record which means that they’ve only won one of their matches this term.

They come into this clash having seen 3+ goals in four of their last five across all competitions. Their most recent assignment in the Swiss Super League was a 5-0 hammering at the hands of Young Boys, though they should be able to have more of a foothold in this contest.

Luzern have avoided defeat in 10 of their 14 matches in the Swiss Super League this term, but six of these games have ended in draws, which is the most of any side in the Swiss top flight. They’ve seen 3+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, only managing to win one of these games.

The most recent meeting between these sides took place back in October and produced four goals as the sides played out a 2-2 draw. There was a combined xG of 2.99 produced on that occasion, offering promise for at least three goals here. Each of the last five head-to-head meetings between these sides have seen 3+ goals.

Only three points separates these sides in League Two as the race for the playoffs starts to take shape. Only five points first and eighth in League Two at the moment, cementing it as one of the most difficult leagues to manage and earn promotion from. MK Dons played out a 2-2 draw against Tranmere last time out, and another high scoring affair could be on the cards here.

Fleetwood have seen 3+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions. They’ve scored in all of these matches, suggesting that they will be a real threat to MK Dons here - likely motivated by the opportunity to climb into the playoff spots with all three points here.

MK Dons have netted 16 goals across their eight home games this term (2.0 per game), but this hasn’t translated into consistent results with four wins from their eight home matches. MK Dons are averaging 3.1 goals per game at home in League One this term.

Fleetwood’s main strength in League Two so far this campaign has been their home performances with Fleetwood only picking up eight of their 26 points on the road so far. They’ve seen 18 goals across these matches (2.25 per game) which is a metric that can be forced to rise here with MK Dons’ tendency to see high scoring matches at home.

I was surprised to see this pick come up in the goals algo as it doesn’t look the most appealing when just looking at the sides, but some deeper digging has revealed a possible value play for some goals in this clash at the bottom of Serie A.

Genoa have seen 3+ goals in four of their last five matches across all competitions, including their last three matches. They’ve avoided defeat across these three recent fixtures with their last two results being a 3-3 draw against Fiorentina and a 2-2 draw against Cagliari. Genoa registered an xG of 1.0 or higher in both matches, despite being reduced to 10 men against Cagliari.

Hellas Verona have also seen high goal counts in recent matches with 3+ goals landing in four of their last five matches across all competitions. The exception in this run was a 0-0 draw against Lecce, who sit just outside the relegation zone. Neither of these sides are solid at the back, with Genoa having just two clean sheets this term to Hellas Verona’s three.

The main reason as to why goals are so appealing here is that a draw suits neither side. A draw would hand the initiative to sides like Fiorentina and Lecce who sit around this pair at the bottom of the table. Both sides sit in the relegation zone with only one win between them in Serie A. Games like this can become quite dull, but the recent flurry of goals that both sides have seen in recent matches, as well as the context surrounding their league positions - makes 3+ goals a solid angle in this six pointer.

Only goal difference separates these sides in the League One table, with both having an identical record in the division up until this point. Huddersfield have seen 3+ goals in each of their last five matches across all competitions, winning three of these games with the defeats coming against Luton and Bolton - both away matches.

Wimbledon have seen 3+ goals in each of their last three matches coming into this contest, and have notably seen 25 goals across their eight away matches this term (3.1 per game). They have a black and white record on the road with four wins and four defeats, and their high goal tallies suggest that we should be in for another entertaining encounter here.

Huddersfield have won five of their eight home matches in League One this season, with these games producing 20 goals (2.5 per game). Wimbledon's promising goal record on the road should see this rise further here, as these sides battle for an early spot in the playoffs.
