Football Bet of the Day: Rakow to rack up goals

LKS Lodz v Rakow Czestochowa
Saturday 14:30

In Spain last night, Villarreal thrashed Alaves 4-1 to comfortably land our Over 2.5 Goals bet. We're making a similar bet, at a similar price, in Poland this afternoon.

Both 15th-placed LKS Lodz and 11th-placed Rakow Czestochowa are new to the top-flight Ekstraklasa this season, but they are starting to show signs they can be regular scorers at the highest level.

Lodz - or the Knights of Spring - are W1-D1-L4 at home so far. They put something in the win column last time out at LKS Stadium, beating Korona Kielce 4-1. Their last three games have each delivered five goals (they lost the earlier two 1-4 and 2-3) and we're hopeful they can clear Over 2.5 Goals again today.

Visiting Rakow Czestochowa are W2-D0-L3 on the road this term. Last time out, they shocked top-of-the-table Pogon Szczecin, winning 2-1. It was the third straight away game in which both teams had scored and the third straight with Over 2.5 Goals. At even money, we going Over 2.5 Goals for today's encounter.
