The "Total Goals Guys" are liking the possibility of goals at Stamford Bridge and Ibrox in particular

There is a feast of top football on offer for our sides this weekend. Chelsea host Liverpool in the second instalment of a Sky Sports Super Sunday that includes a Manchester derby at Old Trafford. Barcelona face a tricky tie in Seville whilst Bayern Munich host a top of the table clash with second-placed Werder Bremen. Even Celtic's 150 mile trip North to Aberdeen can be considered a biggie . . . well in Scotland anyway! With this in mind, we will be erring slightly on the side of caution as we aim to make it 3 profitable weeks in a row.

The last time Falkirk took a trip to Ibrox 7 goal or more backers were laughing all the way to the bank as The Gers ran riot in a 7-2 mauling. [2.56] is available for a second strike of lightning at Edmiston Drive but we much prefer the security of a lower priced [1.69] for 3 goals or more. The season average for goals per game at Ibrox is 3.25 and the hosts have managed at least 2 goals per home game since that rare 1-0 defeat at the hands of Hibernian back in early October. Falkirk's away ties average just shy of 4 goals per game, with only Gretna conceding more away goals this season. When you consider Rangers put 4 past an improving St. Mirren side two weeks ago 3 goals or more is very tempting.

Liverpool got back to winning ways last Saturday with a much needed 3-0 win at home to Sunderland. It won't be as easy this weekend however as they travel to a rugged Chelsea side who they will have to face without star striker Fernando Torres. [1.46] is leaping out at us for 2 goals or more at a venue where the season average is 2.58. Two goals in 3 games suggest Nicolas Anelka will be in the mood to bag at least one against yet another of his old sides and Liverpool's recent form indicates that keeping a clean sheet will be tough. The Reds have conceded in 4 of their last 5 matches and the sixth was a 0-0 at Eastlands where the hosts were out to keep it tight. Their league position dictates that the visitors will be forced to attack if they go behind and that will hopefully open up the game for us 2 goal backers.

Saturday night's Spanish action sees Sevilla host a Barcelona side who have been thrown a Primera Division title lifeline after bitter rivals Real Madrid went down 2-0 at Almeria last week. The hosts are the joint top highest scorers at home this season, averaging just over 2.5 goals per game. They also concede at a rate of exactly 1 goal per game in what has been a little goal hub this term. This compares to the visitors away strike rate of 1.3 goals per game. Almeria's 2-0 Victory over Real last Saturday has given Barca a huge boost and with their rivals' weekend fixture falling on Sunday they have the opportunity to temporarily cut the gap to just 3 points. The defence still isn't watertight however and we expect both sides to score. Like us, you can back 2 goals or more at [1.31].

Regardless of Saturday night's events in Seville Real Madrid will look to get back to winning ways when Valladolid come calling to Santiago. They have a 100% home record to maintain and we reckon the current champions can do it in style. The Bernabeau averages 3.5 goals every Real Madrid home game this season with the hosts accountable for a rate of 2.6. With last weeks loss in mind the 11th placed visitors can expect a bit of a backlash and when you consider they ship 2 goals per on average, a trip to the top side doesn't bode well for a low scoring encounter. [1.71] is available for 3 goals or more in the total goals market.

20% of our balance (£3.29) is being staked on each of our 4 selections.
