Horse Racing Weekly Goals Accalanche: April 11th-15th
Welcome to the Inaugural bettingexpert News Goals Accalanche (trademark pending). We’ve got five bets across five days with increasing odds and excitement. We’ve tried Accalanche in the past but this one is a little different.
What is the Goals Accalanche?
The Goals Accalanche similar to the regular bettingexpert News Accalanche. That was a series of selections across several days combined into a single acca. This article will do that but looking only at the goals market.
It starts on Monday with low stakes. My task is to select a single match that I think will finish with over 0.5 total goals. Tomorrow, that goes up to over 1.5 goals and so on until Friday. That’s when I’m left with the unenviable task of picking a match with over 4.5 goals.
Without further ado, here are my selections for this week’s Goals Accalanche.
- Monday April 11th: Huddersfield vs Luton – Over 0.5 Goals at 1.083
- Tuesday April 12th: Bayern Munich vs Villarreal – Over 1.5 Goals at 1.12
- Wednesday April 13th: Liverpool vs Benfica – Over 2.5 Goals at 1.40
- Thursday April 14th: Atalanta vs RB Leipzig – Over 3.5 Goals at 2.75
- Friday April 15th: Real Sociedad vs Real Betis – Over 4.5 Goals at 6.50
Total Goals Accalanche Odds: 30.49
All odds via bet365 as at 12:45 on 11th April 2022. Odds may now differ.
Selection 1: Huddersfield vs Luton – Over 0.5 Goals
Mon, April 11th, 19:45 (UK Time)
I’m going over on goals in the Championship match between Huddersfield and Luton. This matchup actually finished 0-0 the last time these sides met earlier in the season. I’m confident that won’t happen again given the recent results of both sides.
Huddersfield haven’t had a 0-0 draw since back in February. They’ve conceded at least twice in three of their last four Championship matches. That’s nothing in comparison to Luton’s record. Both teams have scored in four of their last five league games. We should expect goals considering this Luton team has scored 10 in its last four. Over 0.5 goals looks a solid pick here.

Selection 2: Bayern Munich vs Villarreal – Over 1.5 Goals
Tue, April 12th, 20:00 (UK Time)
Next we head to the Champions League for Tuesday’s selection. I’m going for over 1.5 goals in the match between Bayern Munich and Villarreal. The Spanish side hold a 1-0 lead from the first leg. It was a similar story in Bayern’s round of 16 match against Salzburg. Julian Nagelsmann’s side took that as an invitation to attack. The eight goals in the second leg give me hope here.
Bayern haven’t failed to score at home in a competitive match since February 2020. The last time that happened in the Champions League was back in April. European games at the Allianz this season have seen an average of 5.75 total match goals. It’s just a shame this match isn’t being played on Friday…

Selection 3: Liverpool vs Benfica – Over 2.5 Goals
Wed, April 13th, 20:00 (UK Time)
I’m going over on goals between Liverpool and Benfica. This is another second leg in the Champions League quarter-finals. The Reds hold a convincing 3-1 lead from the first leg which should be enough for the tie.
I’m a little concerned about this one. Liverpool held the same two-goal cushion after the first leg of their previous Champions League match. That was away at Inter Milan and the second leg finished 1-0 to the visitors.
That scoreline wasn’t a fair reflection of the match. Liverpool had plenty of chances in the match. They hit the woodwork three times in the match and dominated in terms of shots and possession. They welcome a weaker side in Benfica and should open them up.

Selection 4: Atalanta vs RB Leipzig – Over 3.5 Goals
Thu, April 14th, 17:45 (UK Time)
Everyone expected goals when these sides met last week. With good reason. Atalanta are the great entertainers in Italy as they showed in the Champions League this season. Five of their six matches had both sides scoring at least twice each.
The neutrals had high hopes when they met the German entertainers, RB Leipzig in the quarter-finals of the Europa League last week. Leipzig’s Champions League matches were just as exciting with an average of 4.8 goals per game.
So it was a surprise when these sides played out a sensible 1-1 draw in the first leg of this quarter-final tie last week. I don’t think we’ll see a similar result here. I’m going over on goals as I expect normal service to resume. Atalanta have had over 3.5 goals in three of their last four home matches in all competitions. Let’s hope that the run continues here.

Selection 5: Real Sociedad vs Real Betis – Over 4.5 Goals
Fri, April 15th, 20:00 (UK Time)
This is the big one. We head to Spain for a La Liga match between Real Sociedad and Real Betis. It’s a massive one in the race for European football with just two points between 5th-placed Betis and Sociedad in 6th. Los Verdiblancos will go up to 4th with a win.
These sides have produced some high-scoring matches in recent years. They last met back in February in the Copa Del Rey which Betis won 4-0. Their last La Liga fixture was back in December that Betis also won 4-0. In fact, each of the last four meetings between these sides in all competitions have finished with exactly four goals. All of the last nine matches between them have had at least three goals in them.
Betis are an entertaining side with plenty of goals at both ends of the pitch. They’ve had over 4.5 goals in 19% of their La Liga fixtures this campaign. Their most recent away matches have been a little less entertaining but I think there is still a chance. They’ve put four past Sociedad in consecutive games and we should expect them to repeat the feat.
