Betting Hub App: Best Games on Wednesday Night For Over 2.5 Goals

Wednesday night sees fourth-placed Atalanta take on bottom of the league Crotone at Gewiss Stadium, with the home side coming into this game as firm favourites for obvious reasons.

Atalanta are known for being a team that attacks at high intensity, as they beat the likes of Napoli 4-2 and 3-1 at home last month in both the league and Coppa Italia.

So far Atalanta have scored 55 goals in 24 league games, which sees them as the second top scorers in Serie A, and Gian Piero Gasperini will be rubbing his hands at the prospect of playing a Crotone side that have conceded 57 - the worst defensive record in the division.

The over 2.5 goals market has landed in four of Crotone’s last five matches, as they have conceded 15 in these games. They were even beaten 6-2 when they played Inter Milan at the San Siro last month.

2/5 for over 2.5 goals is fair due to the sheer number of goals that Atalanta score, as well as Crotone’s awful defensive record in Serie A this campaign.

The second game from Serie A on this list sees Genoa against Sampdoria in the Genoa Derby at Luigi Ferraris Stadium.

This match sees 13th face tenth in the league table. The over 2.5 market has landed in four out of Genoa’s last five matches in Serie A, having seen them beat Crotone and Napoli 3-0 and 2-1 early last month, as well as drawing 2-2 to Hellas Verona, before being beaten 3-0 by Inter at the San Siro.

Meanwhile, the last time Sampdoria were in a game that saw the over 2.5 goals market land was when they beat Fiorentina 2-1 at home.

In the last encounter between these two sides it was Genoa who came out on top in the Coppa Italia on 26th November in a 3-1 win, thanks to goals from Gianluca Scamacca (2) and Lukas Lerager.

Over 2.5 goals in this game is priced at 1/1 which makes sense due to the statistics discussed above.

Strasbourg take on AS Monaco at Meinau Stadium, with the side from the principality looking to close the gap on top of the table Lille.

Monaco are the second top scorers in Ligue 1 having found the back of the net 56 times in 27 matches, which is only five fewer times than PSG. On Wednesday night they face a side Strasbourg that sit in 15th place, having conceded 41 times.

Both sides have had two matches each from their last five that have landed in the over 2.5 goals market, with Strasbourg’s most recent in a 2-1 away win at Metz on 14th February, whilst Monaco’s was in a 2-2 home draw with Lorient, just one week before they beat PSG 2-0 away at the Parc des Princes in the league.

The last time these two sides met, it was a classic encounter at Stade Louis II as Monaco won 3-2 thanks to a Wissam Ben Yedder brace and rare Ruben Aguilar goal, this was despite going down to nine men following the dismissals of Aurelien Tchouameni and Axel Disasi.

4/5 for over 2.5 goals in this fixture is fair considering Monaco’s goalscoring record and the outcome of the previous meeting between the two sides.

Wednesday night also sees the biggest match in the Swiss Super League take place as runaway leaders Young Boys travel to rivals Basel, looking to open up a 22-point gap on their rivals.

Young Boys have earned 51 points from 22 matches this season and are the top scorers in the league with 40 goals, whilst Basel have scored 32 and staggeringly conceded the same amount as they have scored, which means that they have the fourth-worst defence in the division.

The over 2.5 goals market landed in both of these two sides’ last match, as Basel were beaten 3-1 away at St Gallen, whilst Young Boys could only manage a 2-2 draw away at Luzern.

When these two sides met in November at Wankdorf Stadium, the home side won 2-1 via goals from Jean-Pierre Nsame and Meschak Elia.

This game is priced at 3/5 to have over 2.5 goals in it which makes sense due to the firepower that both teams possess, as well as Basel’s shaky defensive record.

The final game on this list is Crystal Palace against Manchester United, with Ole Gunnar Solskjaer’s side looking to solidify their place in the top four.

The over 2.5 goals market has landed in three of their last five matches against the likes of Brighton, Burnley and Newcastle.

Meanwhile, this market has come off in two of United’s last five games, most recently in their 3-1 home win against Newcastle on 21st February, prior to their 4-0 thrashing of La Liga outfit Real Sociedad.

The last time these two sides met it was actually Palace who came out as shock 3-1 winners at Old Trafford on the opening day of the season, thanks to goals by Andros Townsend and Wilfried Zaha (2). This is a result that United will look to rectify against an out of form Palace team. The Red Devils are the top scorers in the Premier League this campaign, having found the back of the net 53 times.

This game is priced at 4/5 to have over 2.5 goals in it.
