The "Total Goals Guys" had an 100% record last week but are they playing with fire by punting on the Scotland match?

It was another 100% success story in the Total Goals market last weekend. The balance rose 21% to £89.41 and with a few more weekends like this it wont be long until we will be talking in terms of profit as we're still £9.59 short of our starting balance.

We expected a tight encounter in Stuttgart's clash with Bayern Munich on Saturday. The form suggested a low scoring encounter and we opted for a safe back of 1 goal at [1.06]. This was taken care of in the early stages of this one as Gomez sent Stuttgart on their way to a 3-1 victory with the opener on 7 minutes. It seen an end to Bayern's run of two straight 0-0 draws in the league and was also their first defeat of the season.

Liverpool left it late for us last Saturday as Fulham yet again hit the self destruct button in the final stages of a Premier League match. With 10 minutes remaining we were staring down the barrell of a 0-0 but a piece of Fernando Torres magic on 81' followed by a Stevie G pen on 85' took care of a 2 goal back that looked doomed.

Barcelona went down to their second away defeat of the season at Getafe on Saturday night. Manu opened the scoring for the hosts after 28 minutes and with stoppage time looming and the score locked at 1-0 it wasnt only Catalan's pride at stake but our back of 2 goals or more was also on the ropes. Barca were scrapping desperately for an equaliser and as what can often happen in this situation it was the home side who sealed a famous victory on the break.

On Sunday we had a back of 2 goals or more in Manchester United clash at home to Blackburn. A first half quick-fire double from Cristiano Ronaldo was enough to see off Rovers and hand us a quick return for our money.

There were a feast of goals at the Santiago Bernabeau on Sunday night where we also got a quick return on our investment. Our back of 2 goals or more was up within the first quarter of an hour as Robinho's early strike on 12' was cancelled out by Mallorca's Varela on 14'. Real then took the lead again before being pegged back to 2-2 at HT. The visitors went on to take the lead in the second half before Ruud Van Nistelrooy followed up Raul's equaliser to keep the points in Madrid.

Regular readers of the column will know that we normally take a back seat when it comes to internationals but we are making a small exception this weekend. Scotland's do or die clash with world champions Italy has gripped the entire nation this week and we can't let the event pass without having some of our cash on it. Italy are favourites of that there is little doubt but they rarely go anywhere and hand out a battering. A nervy encounter it is sure to be but Under 2.5 goals is a stand out at [1.65] and we are staking 20% of our balance on this.
