After looking at the best clean sheet odds, we now turn our attention to projected team goals for Gameweek 6.
Using the projections from our Fixture Ticker, we can identify which Premier League attacks have the greatest scoring potential in the upcoming round.
PROJECTED TEAM GOALS FOR GAMEWEEK 6
SUMMARY
Arsenal lead the projected goals this week (2.10), narrowly ahead of Chelsea (2.04). Both sides being at home is a factor, although Leeds United and Bournemouth are no pushovers. The Cherries are still without a clean sheet, at least.
Manchester United sit third on 1.87 and face a winless Spurs side that has conceded eight goals in five matches. It’s still worth pointing out the Lilywhites’ recent defensive improvements, however.
Newcastle United follow on 1.60 ahead of their trip to newly promoted Coventry City, who conceded five goals on home soil – albeit with 10 men – last time out.
Manchester City and Liverpool sit level on 1.58, with the two sides meeting at Anfield. City have won all five league matches, although the Reds have kept three straight clean sheets.
The league’s top scorers, Brighton (1.45), are seventh after an impressive start. The Seagulls should be confident heading into this one after dismantling Arsenal 3-0 in the previous Gameweek.
At the other end, Leeds have the lowest projection (0.69); no surprise that they’re away at Arsenal. Hull City (1.04) may also struggle against an obdurate Everton backline.
LOOKING AHEAD
The traditional ‘big six’ occupy the top six places for projected goals over the next six Gameweeks.
Manchester City have several attractive fixtures to come, particularly Ipswich Town (H) and Fulham (H).
Arsenal also have plenty to look forward to, with Everton (H) and Hull City (H) standing out. The Gunners carry a projection of 2.67 goals against the latter, one of the highest figures across the period.
Chelsea offer a fairly consistent schedule, with four of their next six matches on home soil.
Spurs complete the top six. Home matches against Coventry City, Ipswich Town and Crystal Palace offer the best goalscoring opportunities, while Manchester United and Chelsea are still clean-sheet-less. It’s just a shame the Lilywhites haven’t convinced in attack so far!
