In Italy last night, Sassuolo beat Bologna 3-1 to land our Over 2.5 Goals bet with a goal to spare.

We're in Belgium today for the First Division A match between 14th-placed Oostende and ninth-placed Mouscron. Since 2015, 6/8 head-to-heads have delivered Over 2.5 Goals and we like the 1.9010/11 about another high scorer today.

This season, Kare Ingebrigtsen's Oostende are W2-D1-L4 at the Versluys Arena and yet to keep a clean sheet. Both teams have scored in 5/7, with 4/7 hitting Over 2.5 Goals.

Bernd Hollerbach's REM haven't kept a clean sheet on the road since the opening day of 2019/20. Since then, they've conceded at least twice in 4/6, while scoring themselves in 5/6. Four of those six matches have produced at least three match goals. With two shaky defences going into battle today, we're backing Over 2.5 Goals once more.
