Weekend stats preview: goals, BTTS and first-half goals for 75 fixtures in 8 leagues, 16 to 19 October 2026, FootyAmigo data

Eight leagues are in action between Friday 16 and Monday 19 October, from the Premier League and the Championship to the Bundesliga and the Eredivisie, 75 fixtures in all. For each one we’ve pulled both teams’ league record so far this season: how many of their matches went Over 2.5 goals, how many had both teams scoring and how many had a goal before half-time. The figures cover every league match played up to 12 October 2026, and every half-time and full-time score has been checked against an independent results source.

Five fixtures that stand out

Borussia Mönchengladbach v Hoffenheim (Sun 18 Oct, 16:30 UK)

The busiest match-up on paper. Every one of the 10 Bundesliga matches these two have played this season has gone Over 2.5 goals, every one has had a first-half goal, and their games have averaged 4.7 goals. It’s the only fixture of the 75 where both teams are at 100% for Over 2.5.

Eintracht Frankfurt v Köln (Fri 16 Oct, 19:30 UK)

The best BTTS record of the weekend: both teams have scored in 9 of their 10 matches. Nine of the ten went Over 2.5, and all ten had a goal before half-time.

Everton v Chelsea (Sat 17 Oct, 12:30 UK)

A clash of styles. All 6 of Chelsea’s Premier League matches have gone Over 2.5, at 4.67 goals a game, the highest of any team playing in the Premier League this weekend. Only 2 of Everton’s 6 have, at 2.17 goals a game.

FC Groningen v Ajax (Sun 18 Oct, 15:45 UK)

There’s been a first-half goal in 15 of these two teams’ 16 Eredivisie matches. Over 2.5 (13 of 16) and BTTS (13 of 16) aren’t far behind.

Strasbourg v Paris Saint-Germain (Sat 17 Oct, 16:15 UK)

Ten of these two teams’ 12 Ligue 1 matches have gone Over 2.5, and the same number have had both teams scoring.

At the other end

  • Juventus v Lazio and Leeds United v Manchester United have the weekend’s lowest combined Over 2.5 records, 4 of 12 matches each. Only 1 of Juventus’s 6 Serie A games has had three or more goals.
  • Tottenham v Coventry City and Aberdeen v St. Mirren have the lowest BTTS records: 3 of 12 and 4 of 16 matches.
  • Celta Vigo v Alavés has the lowest average, 2.13 goals a game.

How to read the tables

  • “5/6 · 3/6” means 5 of the home team’s 6 league matches and 3 of the away team’s 6 matches, home and away games combined.
  • 1st-half goal means at least one goal before half-time, stoppage time included.
  • Avg goals is the average number of goals per game in each team’s matches, averaged across the two teams.
  • Kick-off times are UK time (BST) from our fixture list on 14 October and can change.
  • Samples are small. Bundesliga teams have played 5 league matches each and Premier League, Serie A and Ligue 1 teams six, so treat these figures as a starting point, not a forecast. Check team news before you act on them.
