Free Football Betting Tip:- Fortuna Sittard v Telstar *Over 3 Goals*

Fortuna Sittard host Telstar tonight in the second tier of Dutch Football the Eerste Divisie.

The Netherlands are well renowned for producing games with plenty of goals, the International side do, the Top Flight Eredivisie do and this second division are no different.

In fact they produce even more goals, taking a look at the final scores on from this league on a Friday night looks more like Rugby scores then football sometimes, there used to be a time where I would put a £10 accumulator on every game of the night featuring over 2.5 goals and you would be surprised about the amount of times it would come in.

Tonight two of the sides that have produced the most goals over the past couple of seasons meet up and they have started this season off in the exact same fashion.

Fortuna Sittard have played 9 games in all competitions so far this season, apart from their first league game, 1 of their last 8 games went over 2.5 goals with all of their other 7 games going over 3.5 goals!

Their last 8 games have featured a combined 37 goals in total.

At home they have played 5 times this season, once in the cup, the other 4 times in the league, 4 of those 5 games went over 3.5 goals and the other game over 2.5.

It has not been all one way traffic, in fact they have actually won 3 of their home games, they score heavily and they concede heavily and that has been the nature of Fortuna Sittard's style of play for quite some time now.

The visitors today Telstar are the same sort of Gun Ho team, they looked like they had turned a corner in their first two league games this season with a 0-0 and 0-1 loss, I wondered if they had actually learnt the importance of defending?

It was not to be however and Telstar were soon back to their usual selves.

Since those first 2 games of the season, Telstar have played 6 other league games, 5 of those games all beat the 2.5 goal mark with 4 of those going over 3.5 goals.

Away from home 5 of their last 6 games have gone over 2.5 goals and 4 of those going over 3.5 goals.
Their last away game was a game I watched as I had tipped their opponents Zwolle to win that game, I was beyond belief at half time, the first half had featured a massive 8 goals!

 The game eventually finished 7-3 to the hosts and it was one of the most entertaining games I had seen in a long time.

Ok so the defensive skills of either team was nothing to be impressed about but for sheer entertainment value it was like a basketball match with each side taking it in turns to attack each other, every time one of the teams retrieved the ball you expected them to go up and stick it in the net, which a lot of the time they did!

This is the way Fotuna Sittard play at home anyway so if Telstar come and play the same sort of football tactically as they did at Zwolle this will turn into a similar sort of game Iv no doubt.

I was tempted to take the over 3.5 goals straight which is available at a very generous 2.5, however another thing this league is famous for is its unpredictability, therefore to be safe I am going to take the over 3 goals bet which is on offer at 1.9 at Ladbrokes, that way in the very unlikely scenario of there being just 3 goals scored the bet will not count as a loss and our stakes returned, a void bet if you like.
