Brunei DPMM FC 3 Home Utd 1 in Singapore on Friday lunchtime. Safely over one 3.5-goals barrier, there's another one ahead of us tomorrow lunchtime.

In Germany, Mainz's first four games of the new Bundesliga season have produced an extraordinary 18 goals. Eight of those goals came in their one previous home game, a 4-4 draw with Hoffenheim.

Saturday sees Martin Schmidt's men host Roger Schmidt's Leverkusen in a highly anticipated surname derby. This fixture has delivered Over 3.5 Goals in each of the last three seasons and that's our ambition for it this time around.

Leverkusen, who have scored on each of their last 14 away days, have conceded twice or more in 6/8 most recently. At the Opel Arena, it's 4/7 with Over 3.5 Goals since the tail end of last term.
