Form and trends are two of the most important factors when selecting over/under 2.5 goals bets. 

For instance if we take the Eredivisie and Vitesse Arnhem, their last eight games of the season all went over 2.5 goals. If we extend that sample to their last 16 games of the season, games involving Vitesse went over 2.5 goals 14 times at 88%.

At the start of the 2018 MLS season Orlando City started their campaign by going over 2.5 goals in 11 of their first 14 matches at 79%. Finding these types of teams early on in a season and sticking with them can often pay healthy dividends.

Teams that like to attack have a much better chance of their matches going over 2.5 goals than teams that prefer a more defensive style of play. Attacking teams not only score more goals, they tend to concede more goals because of their tendency to push players high up the field which leaves themselves vulnerable.

On the other end of the spectrum, teams that have a large proportion of their games going under 2.5 goals share common characteristics. The main factors that contribute to teams being good bets for under 2.5 goals are their inability to score goals but usually having a strong defence that don’t concede many goals.

If we look the 2017/18 Ligue 1 season, Montpellier scored 36 goals and conceded 33 goals in 38 games. Games involving Montpellier went under 2.5 goals in their last five games of the season and 11 of their last 14 games.
