Stats Review…

My weekend picks were as miserable as the weather.

Away Win selection Arsenal kept up their 100% Away record for Over 2.5 Goals, but went down 3-2 at Southampton. That was a first victory in 13 games for the Saints, and the end of a 22-game unbeaten run in all comps for the Gunners.

Wolves beat Bournemouth 2-0. In doing so they kept a first Clean Sheet in 9 games, and ended Bournemouth’s recent run of 13 Over 2.5 Goals payouts from 14 games in all comps.

Championship bottom side Ipswich beat Wigan 1-0, recording a first win in 10 games – with the Home side’s 6-game Most Corners streak coming to an end (corners score = 3-7).

Brighton were on course to land the Most Booking Points in their 1-2 defeat v Chelsea, leading the tally by 2 Yellow Cards to nil with 10 minutes left on the clock. But a couple of late bookings for the Away side meant the cards score ended level at 2 Yellows each (20 pts each).

Elsewhere, there were plenty of strong trends that did continue. The updated stats on our website include:

  • Premier League – Liverpool 3 Man Utd 1 Man Utd are out on their own at the top of our Premier League Over 2.5 Goals standings. This was their 8th payout in 9 Away games this season (89%)
  • Championship – Sheff Utd 1 West Brom 2 West Brom are No.1 in the Championship for Both Teams to Score (82%). This was their 6th payout in a row, and their 8th from their last 9 games
  • League One – Barnsley 1 Portsmouth 1 (Corners = 9-2) Barnsley have now won the Most Corners in 10 out of 10 Home games in League One (100%)
  • Scottish Premiership – Livingston 5 Hearts 0 (Total Corners = 5) – Yet another Under 10.5 Corners result for Livingston. That’s 9 out of 10 at Home now (90%)

Those are just four markets and examples. Every week we keep track of the top performing teams across a range of stats – then look to cash-in when the next appropriate round of games comes along…

Christmas schedule…

The festive football is a Christmas tradition. Loads of games on TV. And loads of league fixtures, up and down the land, from this weekend through to New Year’s Day and beyond…

It may be ‘the Holidays,’ but the football doesn’t stop – and neither does your Across the Leagues service…

Our unique betting stats are updated on the website after every round of games. The latest Head-2-Heads will be online before every set of fixtures.

I’ll be emailing you throughout the festivities, too, with stats round-ups and the latest advice.

Here are a few key dates for your diary. Lookout for emails with Picks & Analysis on:

  • Friday 21st Dec – weekend games
  • Mon 24th Dec – covering the Boxing Day games
  • Fri 28th Dec – weekend games
  • Mon 31st Dec – New Year’s Day fixture list

Before all that, I’ll be back on Wednesday this week with a special look at one stats area that has caught my eye. A real niche, with some very prolific betting trends…

Best wishes,

Oliver Upstone
