Get ready for the Christmas fun-run...
It took Eoin Doyle just 10 minutes to find the net on Saturday. But that wasn’t quick enough to land the First Goalscorer odds this time.
The Swindon man got two goals in a 3-2 win at Salford. The home side had gone in front from the penalty spot after just 4 minutes.
Before the weekend, Doyle had netted the opener in five games in a row.
Doyle remains the top scorer in the Football League this season. He’s now got 16 goals in 15 games for Swindon – twice as many as any other player in League Two. And he’s scored in 6 successive games.
The League Stats on your members-only Across the Leagues website show that Doyle is also ranked top of League Two for First Goalscorer (7) and Anytime Scorer (10) payouts:
The most wonderful time of the year...
We’re still in November. But the John Lewis ad is out. The shops are playing Christmas songs. The holiday season is on the way...
The festive football is always a big attraction. And the busy schedule begins this weekend with the start of an unbroken run of fixtures taking us right up to the first week of January.
With the Euro 2020 Qualifiers finished (until the Playoffs in March), there are no more International breaks until next year.
We have hundreds of league games to look forward to in the weeks ahead...
Starting this weekend with the return of the Premier League, Championship, Scottish Premiership, Spanish La Liga, German Bundesliga and Italian Serie A...
Followed by the Champions League on Tuesday, with Match-day Five kicking off with the likes of Juventus v Atletico Madrid, Real Madrid v PSG and Jose Mourinho’s first home game in charge of Tottenham, against Olympiakos...
Wednesday’s European action includes potential goal-fests such as Liverpool v Napoli and Barcelona v Borussia Dortmund.
The lower-league fixture list will be a reduced one next weekend (30th Nov) with the 2nd Round of the FA Cup. But apart from that, we’re all systems go with stacks of league football across the UK & Europe...
That includes a full midweek Premier League schedule on Tuesday 3rd – Thursday 5th December, with Man Utd v Tottenham and Liverpool v Everton sure to feature high on the bonus episode of Match of the Day.
And of course, the closer we get to Christmas itself, the more games we have in England...
More live games than ever...
Boxing Day is set to be a cracker, with Amazon Prime Video entering the fray and offering up a choice of all 10 Premier League games live on Thursday 26th & Friday 27th December.
- Long-standing UK broadcast rules mean no Saturday 3pm kick-offs can be shown live on TV. But there are games on all different days of the week over Christmas & New Year, and Premier League fans will be treated to stacks of games to choose from
On New Year’s Day, BT Sport are matching that Amazon offering and showing every Premier League game, too.
With simultaneous broadcasts and games on throughout the festive season, your Across the Leagues website will remain bang up-to-date will all our unique betting stats updating after every round of games.
The big run of fixtures starts this weekend. I’ll be back on Friday with your Stats Picks email.
Best wishes,
