Both Teams To Score
Tottenham Hotspur v Everton
Tottenham have been firing plenty of shots lately, even if the goals haven’t always followed, showing they’re primed to break their drought at home. Everton, meanwhile, have found the net efficiently despite less possession, capitalising on chances when they come. Defensively, Everton’s vulnerabilities at the back and Tottenham’s recent upper hand in their clashes suggest both sides can find the net. This balance makes BTTS a sensible angle, with each team possessing a clear route to score in what promises to be an open Premier League encounter.

Saturday’s football stretches across three countries with contrasting stories already taking shape three rounds into the season. A north London side generating reasonable attempt volume but no goals. Two Italian teams treading carefully through a tight early-season period. A Ligue 1 fixture where the table position and the underlying numbers point in different directions. And a Premier League tie asking whether an unbeaten visitor’s dominant early numbers will translate cleanly at a ground that has caused them complications before.
Four fixtures. Four separate cases. Each one rests on evidence gathered over the opening weeks rather than assumptions about what these clubs usually do.
Tottenham Hotspur vs Everton
Tottenham have averaged 12.6 shots per game across their last 10 league matches and still have not scored this season. Three Premier League fixtures, five goals conceded, none returned. The 0-0 draw at Nottingham Forest made the problem specific: 59% possession, 11 attempts, not one on target. Roberto De Zerbi’s side have never, in a Premier League era, opened four consecutive games without scoring — another blank here would take them somewhere entirely new.
The conversion failure does not make a combined-goals selection straightforward at first glance. However, the opponent matters considerably. Everton have scored five times in three league matches while averaging just 44.2% possession across their last 10 games. Set that against Tottenham’s 53.9% possession average and 0.8 goals per game and the inversion is striking: the team with more of the ball has produced considerably less from it. David Moyes’s side followed a 2-0 win over Crystal Palace with draws against Bournemouth and Manchester United, their goalscoring continuing despite rarely commanding games.
The defensive record on both sides also points away from a clean sheet. Tottenham have conceded five goals in three league games. Everton’s average of 1.8 goals conceded from 15.2 opposition attempts across their last 10 league fixtures suggests their backline is accessible when opponents create chances. Spurs are working with an attack already missing Kulusevski, Odobert, Xavi Simons and Mudryk through injury, with Maddison still a doubt. The historical record favours the hosts — Everton have lost five successive Premier League away matches at this ground — but Tottenham’s own defensive fragility, combined with Everton’s consistency in front of goal, makes the case for both teams scoring rather more durable than a three-game goal drought might initially imply.

Atalanta BC vs Cagliari
Both clubs arrive on six points, but the routes they have taken make this the most tactically constrained match of the accumulator.
Maurizio Sarri’s Atalanta have won two and lost one, yet the performances carry recurring warning signs. Their victories over Sassuolo and Bologna were narrow — 2-1 and 1-0 — and the defeat at Roma was instructive. Atalanta led through Ederson, Marco Carnesecchi produced multiple saves and the hosts struck the woodwork twice before 35 opposition attempts finally proved too much, two late goals settling it. What works in Atalanta’s favour for Saturday is that Cagliari are not Roma. They have scored only twice all season and are unlikely to produce anything close to that level of sustained attacking pressure.
Fabio Pisacane’s Cagliari have turned defensive economy into points. Back-to-back 1-0 wins over Parma and Lecce, alongside a 1-0 defeat to Inter, leave them having conceded once in three league games. That pattern extends into their last five matches overall, where they have kept four clean sheets. Their attack, already limited, faces additional absences: Mattia Felici is out with a knee injury, neither Kevin Carlos nor M’Bala Nzola is ready to start, leaving Paul Mendy as the primary central option. Atalanta lose Gianluca Gaetano to suspension following his red card in Rome, with Isak Hien and Kamaldeen Sulemana also unavailable.
The one credible challenge to the low-scoring argument comes from April’s 3-2 Cagliari victory — a match featuring a Scamacca brace and goals from Mendy and Gennaro Borrelli. That result shows neither side is incapable of a different kind of game. But current-season form has produced matches rarely exceeding two combined goals, and the depleted attacking resources on both sides reinforce the case for that pattern continuing.
Best bet: Under 2.5 Goals @ 20/23
Le Havre vs Angers
A single point separates these clubs in Ligue 1, but the early-season statistics suggest a more meaningful gap.
Didier Digard’s Le Havre have been outshot in each of their three league fixtures — a 1-0 loss to Monaco, a 1-1 draw at Lyon and a 2-1 home defeat to Brest. That is not one bad afternoon; it is a consistent pattern across different venues and opponents, pointing towards a side that too often finds itself responding to pressure rather than generating its own. Their defensive situation for Saturday is further complicated by Junior Mwanga’s suspension following his red card against Brest, alongside injuries to Stephan Zagadou, Abdoulaye Toure, Lionel Mpasi-Nzau and Felix Mambimbi.
Angers carry a very different statistical profile despite their three points. Stephane Gilli’s side lost 2-0 to Lille while producing 20 attempts and 1.99 expected goals — a performance where the scoreboard clearly did not reflect the attacking contribution. A 3-1 win at Auxerre followed, before a 2-1 defeat to Rennes in which Angers again won the shot count and produced the superior expected-goals figure. Four goals from three matches gives them double Le Havre’s early return. That does not make them defensively reliable — Angers have conceded four times without a clean sheet this season — but their repeated ability to generate chances makes them a genuine scoring threat against a host side already surrendering too many attempts.
Le Havre’s own historical pattern reinforces the selection further: both teams have scored in eight of their last 11 league fixtures, a trend already continuing in two of the three games played this season. A mild historical caution exists — Le Havre are unbeaten in the last four meetings between the clubs — but current-season evidence carries more weight than head-to-head sequences from previous campaigns.
Best bet: Both Teams To Score YES @ 8/11
Sunderland vs Arsenal
Arsenal’s opening five competitive results rest on something more specific than simply winning matches. Their Premier League expected goals against is below 1.0 after three games — a figure that suggests opponents are being restricted from producing genuine scoring opportunities, rather than simply failing to convert decent chances. One goal conceded across five fixtures is the headline; the chance-suppression evidence beneath it is what makes it credible.
Sunderland have been more competitive than a single league win implies. Regis Le Bris’s side followed their opening defeat at Ipswich by beating Fulham 1-0, drawing 1-1 at Brentford and then winning 1-0 against Hull City in the EFL Cup — one goal conceded across those three unbeaten results. Just five shots on target allowed in three Premier League games is a number that deserves genuine respect. Granit Xhaka has been active in midfield, creating seven chances and averaging 7.7 accurate long balls per 90 minutes, and his contribution against his former club could be especially significant in terms of helping Sunderland move beyond simply absorbing pressure. The practical limitation is that every league goal they have scored this season has arrived after half-time, and with Habib Diarra injured and Romaine Mundle unavailable for the rest of 2026, their attacking options for Saturday are reduced.
Arsenal’s threat has arrived through multiple channels. Martin Odegaard has scored four times in five competitive appearances, including winners against Chelsea and Napoli. Bukayo Saka produced six shots and nine touches in the opposition box against Napoli without scoring — a reminder that the underlying activity was substantial regardless of the tally. The 4.05 xG they generated that evening against Napoli’s 0.22 made a 1-0 win look narrower than the performance merited.
Last season’s 2-2 draw at the Stadium of Light is worth noting: head-to-head dominance does not remove individual complications, and William Saliba’s continued absence is a genuine consideration at the back. But Sunderland’s defensive stubbornness, real as it is, is coming up against the most complete early-season performance in the division.
Best bet: Arsenal to Win @ 4/9
