AlbinoLeffe vs Padova - Over 2.5 Goals

  • AlbinoLeffe host league leaders Padova in the Italian Serie B tonight.
  • I am returning to Serie B tonight after focusing on two teams that were failing to deliver goals last night, my attentions tonight turn to two teams that cannot stop scoring.
  • AlbinoLeffe are currently in 14th place in Serie B, for a team that have scored 13 goals already this season from 7 games they would have hoped to be higher.
  • Unfortunately for them, as well as they are scoring they just cant seem to defend and have conceded 17.
  • All of their last 11 games in a row in all competitions have gone over 2.5 goals , this includes all 7 of their league games and both of their first two rounds matches of the Coppa Italia, their second round match they lost at Cagliari 5-1.
  • 6 of AlbinoLeffe's last 7 games have gone over 2.5 goals with 5 of these going over 3.5 goals.
  • Their most recent game was a 5-3 defeat at Pescara in which at times looked more like a basketball match with both sides taking it in turns to directly attack each other.
  • AlbinoLeffe are another side that take a lot of risks, if they go down a goal early on in the game then they sacrifice their defence for attack and aim to outscore their opponents, recently however this tactic has cost them dearly conceding many.
  • Their opponents tonight Padova are currently top of the league and are tipped as one of the favourites for promotion into Serie A this season.#
  • Their have been 32 goals involved in all of Padova's 9 games in all competitions so far this season!
  • 6 of those 9 games have all gone over 2.5 goals with 4 of those beating the 3.5 goals mark.
  • Away from home last season, Padova adopted a very defensive style of play and often played for draws, this season however they have looked quite the reverse.
  • Padova's last 5 away games in a row have all gone over 2.5 goals.
  • They have already beaten Cittadella 1-4 and just last weekend Empoli 2-4 in the league.
  • Their other away league fixtures both finished 2-2.
  • In the Coppa Italia they lost out to Bologna 2-1 after winning their first round match 4-2.
  • If you had the choice of 2 teams from this division to match up tonight in the hope of seeing goals, you really couldn't pick out a better fixture and I would be extremely surprised to see this game go below 2.5 goals tonight, I would have the overs priced at about 1.6, take the 1.84 on offer with Pinnacle.
