The theme for this 5.7/1 Friday night acca is goals, goals, goals across the European Leagues.
Brentford vs Watford - Over 2.5 Goals
After a very defensively sound start to the season, Brentford have conceded in nine of their last ten Premier League matches coinciding with the loss of their number one goalkeeper, David Raya.
They have a good record of scoring in front of their own fans though, having only failed to get on the scoresheet twice this season, against Chelsea and Brighton. Even with Ivan Toney still out after testing positive for Covid-19, the Bees should make inroads against a porous Watford defence.
Since Ranieri came in Watford have been playing to their attacking strengths with ten goals scored in their last four Premier League matches, accumulating an xG of 6.78, which is the fourth highest in the league during that period.
All of the above points to a very open game between these two teams and we should see an open game of football leading to over 2.5 goals being scored at best price 11/10..
Nantes vs Lens - Over 2.5 Goals
Nantes have been a better team at home than away in Ligue 1 so far this season with over 2.5 landing in 3 of their last five games at Stade de la Beaujoire.
Currently sitting in 13th in the table this is an intriguing match up against Lens who are in fifth but in a bad patch of form, having not won any of their last four matches.
Scoring goals has generally not been a problem for this Lens side, it's been failing to keep them out at the other end that has led to this slump. So for the second leg of this acca we are again backing over 2.5 goals at a best price of evens.
Cologne vs Augsburg - Over 2.5 Goals
Cologne's last four matches at home have seen an average of 4.25 goals per game, while Augsburg's last four away have seen 2.66 goals per game.
During that time, Cologne have beaten Borussia Mönchengladbach and Greuther Furth 4-1 and 3-1 respectively, both teams around Augsburg at the bottom of the Bundesliga.
While Cologne have a good record at home in recent times, they do also tend to concede goals so a repeat of one of those scorelines is not ou of the question. The tip for this match is again over 2.5 goals, with a best price of 11/9.
