West Ham United vs Leeds United
First up we have two regulars in this column. West Ham host Leeds in a 2pm kick off that looks likely to provide goals. The Hammers have been solid at home but have conceded more goals that they would have liked - 15 in just 10 games. Leeds have also conceded 21 goals in their nine games on the road and it's hard to see them keeping West Ham out here. Leeds had a big result last time out vs Burnley but lost to West Ham in the FA Cup last week and will be looking to provide more of a threat here.
West Ham lead the league in home BTTS stats; 80% of their games have resulted in both teams to score. Leeds have seen 67% of the games on their travels finishing with both teams bagging and I think this one has a big chance of landing.
Augsburg vs Eintracht Frankfurt
The German Bundesliga is the best elite league in Europe for BTTS stats. 60% of all games end without a clean sheet for either side. We have picked out two teams here that average above that metric. Augsburg are sat way down in 16th in the league and are winless in their last 3 games. They host an Eintracht Frankfurt side in good form, winning four of their last six in the league.
The Bavarian side have seen a whopping 27 goals scored at the WWK Arena in just eight games and 75% of these have ended with both teams netting. The Eagles have been decent on their travels picking up 14 points from 9 games but again their games are usually high scoring - 31 combined goals in just nine outings. Of these nine matches, seven (78%) have seen BTTS land. This one looks a sure thing.
Sassuolo vs Hellas Verona
We quickly move to the Italian Serie A which is second only behind the Bundesliga for BTTS stats across the elite European leagues. Our first selection is a mid-table match up between 10th placed Sassuolo and a Verona side just one point below in 12th. Both of these sides usually play in exciting games and this should be no different.
Sassuolo have seen 28 goals scored at the Mapei Stadium in eleven games and their BTTS stats are pretty impressive. 81% of all their games have seen BTTS land and whilst this drops to 64% at home, we still love including them on our coupon.
The Yellow and Blues are also a ridiculously entertaining prospect on the road; they have been involved in just 10 games on their travels and 35 goals have been scored in those. Eight out of ten games have ended up without a clean sheet for both sides.
Venezia vs Empoli
Next up, we find 11th placed Empoli travelling to the Stadio Pier Luigi Penzo to take on Venezia. The Winged Lions are down in 17th and are winless in their last seven matches. They badly need a result here against an Empoli they beat away 2-1 back in September. Empoli have also not won in their last four and need to stop that rot immediately.
On the stats front and we see Venezia have a combined 32 goals scored at home in just 10 games. 70% of those have ended with BTTS hitting. Empoli have a decent away record but again are averaging three goals a game combined on the road. Two thirds of their road trips have seen both teams score.
We like the look of this fixture.
