The Most Statistically-Backed Match Result & Over 2.5 Goals Tips - 14/12/21

On Tuesday, Stuttgart have the unenviable task of hosting league leaders Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga.

Stuttgart are 15th in the Bundesliga and have scored 22 and leaked 25 in 15 matches. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side have won two of their last three matches in the German top-flight, having defeated both Mainz 2-1 and Wolfsburg 2-0 on either side of a 2-2 draw against Hertha Berlin. Prior to these positive results, they had been beaten 2-1 and 1-0 by Borussia Dortmund and Arminia Bielefeld.

On the other hand, Bayern have won their last five matches across all competitions, defeating Dynamo Kyiv and Mainz by 2-1 scorelines, as well as Bielefeld 1-0, Borussia Dortmund 3-2 and Barcelona 3-0. Staggeringly, Julian Nagelsmann’s men have already fired in 47 goals in 15 league matches.

Manchester City host Leeds United at the Etihad on Tuesday, looking to avenge their 2-1 defeat to the Elland Road club last time out.

Both of these sides have shown their goalscoring capabilities, as City come into this match having emerged victorious in all of their last six league matches, defeating United 2-0, Everton 3-0, West Ham 2-1, Watford 3-1 and Wolverhampton Wanderers 1-0.

Meanwhile, Leeds showed their capability last time out in their narrow 3-2 loss at Chelsea, as well as in a 2-2 draw with Brentford and their recent 1-0 victory over Crystal Palace.

City have managed 33 goals in 16 Premier League matches, 16 more than their opponents who have played the same number of games.

In the Belgian Pro League, fifth-place Anderlecht host 12th in the table Sint-Truiden at Lotto Park, with Vincent Kompany’s side having the opportunity to move as high as third in the table.

Anderlecht come into this match in decent form having won their last three matches against RFC Seraing 5-0, Zulte Waregem 3-2 and Sporting Charleroi 3-1. Although, prior to this three-match winning run, they did draw 1-1 with Kortrijk and lose 2-0 against Royal Antwerp.

Sint-Truiden are on a three-game losing streak at present, having been defeated by Cercle Brugge and Union Saint-Gilloise 2-1, as well as by Seraing 2-0. Before their run of three losses in a row, they had beaten both Antwerp 2-1 and Mechelen 1-0.

The last two times that Anderlecht have hosted Sint-Truiden, the match result and over 2.5 goals market has come in, as the home side beat Tuesday’s opponents 4-1 in October 2019 and 3-1 in the last meeting at Lotto Park, as Bohdan Mykhaylichenko, Landry Dimata and Percy Tau all got on the scoresheet.

The final game on this list also comes from the German Bundesliga, as Mainz go head to head with Hertha Berlin in a battle of eighth versus 14th.

So far this season, Mainz have scored 21 and conceded 16 in 15 games, whilst Hertha have found the back of the net 17 times but leaked 29.

Mainz come into this match having won just one of their last five league matches following their 2-1 loss to Bayern Munich at the weekend. Prior to this narrow defeat, they had thumped Wolfsburg 3-0 at home via goals from Jonathan Burkardt, Anton Stach and a Maxence Lacroix own goal. Before their victory over Wolfsburg, Mainz had been beaten 2-1 by Stuttgart and drew 1-1 with both FC Koln and Borussia Monchengladbach.

Hertha managed a win last time out, having defeated Arminia Bielefeld 2-0 at home as both Stevan Jovetic and Davie Selke got on the scoresheet. This is Hertha’s only win in their last four matches, having drawn 2-2 with Stuttgart, as well as 1-1 with Augsburg and Bayer Leverkusen either side of a 2-0 defeat in their derby match against Union Berlin.
