Football Bet of the Day: Eden Arena is a goals paradise

Slavia Prague v Vysocina Jihlava
Sunday 16:00

They huffed and they puffed but, in the end, no one blew anyone's house down. 0-0 in Curitiba so, mumbling and grumbling, we head back to Europe.

Second-bottom Slavia Prague's first home game of the new Synot Liga season brought a 2-2 draw with Slovan Liberec, and we think there's more than half a chance of a similar scoreline this afternoon.

Since Miroslav Baronek took over at the Eden Arena, 9/16 league games have delivered Over 2.5 Goals. The hosts have scored in all but one of those matches (against city rivals and last year's runners-up Sparta) and notched twice or more in half of them. At the other end, the Red & Whites have conceded twice or more in eight of the most recent 13.

Petr Rada's Vysocina Jihlava present more than just a pronunciation challenge. Under the current boss, Jihlava's finest came home 10th in the 16-team league last season. Their results against the teams that finished below them were: 2-1 (against Slavia themselves), 2-2, 2-3, 0-0, 3-0 and 3-1.

The visitors have actually won the last five head-to-heads with Slavia and, since 2012, 5/6 meetings have brought Over 2.5 Goals, including 3/3 at the Eden Arena.
