This over 1.5 goals prediction comes from La Liga. Sevilla have seen four of their last five games go north of the 1.5 goals threshold. Their game average across that period sits at 2.4 goals per game. Real Madrid meanwhile have seen three of their last five games clear the 1.5 hurdle with an average of 2.2 goals per game.

Match: Leicester vs West Ham

Competition: Premier League

Odds: 20/100 (1.20)

This over 1.5 goal prediction comes from the Premier League and although Leicester drew 0-0 last time out, we see this game go north of 1.5 goals. Leicester and West Ham have seen their last 12 head to head matches go over that 1.5 marker whilst recent form supports our prediction too. Leicester have averaged 3.4 goals per game across their last five games. West Ham meanwhile have averaged 2.2 goals across the same period.

29/05/23

Match: Barnsley vs Sheffield Wednesday

Competition: League One

Odds: 35/100 (1.35)

Playoff finals do have the potential to be a little bit cagey and whilst that might be the case here we still think there will be at least two goals in the game. You have to go all the way back to 2014 for the last time a meeting between these sides fell south of the 1.5 goal cut off. On top of that, recent form is strong for going north of 1.5 goals too. Both teams have seen four of their respective last five games go over that threshold.

Match: Sivasspor vs Konyaspor

Competition: Turkish Super Lig

Odds: 29/100 (1.29)

We now switch our eyes to the Turkish Super Lig and we are backing Sivasspor and Konyaspor to go over the 1.5 goal mark. Sivasspor have broken that 1.5 marker in each of their last four games averaging 3.3 goals per game. Konyaspor meanwhile have seen each of their last 10 games break the 1.5 threshold. They have averaged 3.1 goals per game across that period. The last head to head meeting saw four goals.

Over 1.5 goals market explained

Football is one of those sports where there is a whole range of markets for sports bettors to explore. It is now common knowledge that the 1 x 2 betting markets do not always create the most value, which is what leads punters to look for other markets in the first place. It just so happens that the over 1.5 goals market is one of these, and as the name suggests, a football game needs to include more than 1.5 goals for your prediction to be correct.

While you might think that this is a relatively low number of goals, it is surprising how many matches actually finish with less than 1.5 goes on the scoreboard. It depends on which championship we're talking about of course, since various leagues will have remotely different stats when it comes to goals scored on average. For that reason, there are many things that you need to pay attention to before backing this market and making any kind of deposit, and we have gone into these through the tips given in the rest of this post.

Key indicators before backing this market

As promised, we have outlined several key indicators that you need to pay attention to before you jump the gun and place any wages in the over 1.5 goals market. All of these factors should be considered before you follow through on any predictions, or before you follow through and place a wager off your own back and make your own predictions. Check them all out right here.

Last 5 games

The first of these indicators that we believe is absolutely essential for this market is the results in the last five games that a team has played. If you go any further back than this, it is likely that the results you see will not really be as relevant, as a lot can change in the space of 5 games. What you are looking for here is whether a team has regularly posted plenty of goals on the scoreboard for their previous matches, and if they have, this is usually a good sign.

Home and away form

The second of these indicators that you really should check out before making a wager is the home and away form of a particular team. It goes without saying that in football, certain teams perform better at home then they do in away stadiums. This is something that absolutely needs to be taken into account before investigating the over 1.5 goals markets, and this should be assessed for both teams. The only exception to this rule would be if you are betting that the overall match has over 1.5 goals.

Strikers on the field

More often than not, it is the designated strikers that bang in the goals for various football teams. For that reason, you should check what strikers are actually listed to start the game, and you should also check out what kind of form these strikers are in. For example, if there is a great striker in the squad, yet he hasn't scored a goal in the last five games, this will be something that you should also take into account.

Last Tip: Serie A is the perfect league for this kind of bet

Everyone talks about the Premier League, La Liga and the Bundesliga nowadays but with 2.92 goals per game on average over 2019-2020, the Serie A championship is a paradise for goalscorers. Now that the various leagues across Europe have taken a break, it's time to focus on important qualifications for various countries across the globe. Some teams are playing friendlies as well as qualification games for the next big competitions like the Euros next year. These results will be particularly interesting to follow.
