Scott Thornton's BTTS 12/5 Weekend Acca

Bochum dropped into the relegation playoff following their defeat at Wolfsburg last weekend. They are now on a run of eight matches without a win and are running out of games to put things right.

Hoffenheim won a 4-3 thriller against Borussia Monchengladbach last weekend. The victory put them in the top half of the Bundesliga table, but a European place looks slightly out of reach.

Expect an entertaining clash with plenty of goals here. Bochum have scored in all 15 of their home matches in the league this season with an average of 1.53 per game. They are conceding 1.47 on average and both teams have scored in 13 of those matches. Bochum lost 3-1 against Hoffenheim earlier in the season but managed a 5-2 win the last time they hosted them at this ground.

Pellegrini Matarazzo’s side’s matches have seen the second most goals in the Bundesliga with an average of 3.77 per game. Both teams have scored in their last six league games on the road.

Fulham are one place and three points ahead of their opponents coming into this clash. However, they have picked up just one win in their last five after suffering a 3-1 defeat against Liverpool last weekend.

Crystal Palace are enjoying a run of three victories. They were impressive as they beat Newcastle 2-0 midweek. Their 1-0 win at Anfield has kickstarted a purple patch that they will be hoping to continue this weekend.

Marco Silva’s side have scored in five of their last six matches at Craven Cottage. Over that period, they are averaging 1.83 goals per game and conceding 1.17. Since Fulham regained their place in the Premier League, they have hosted Palace twice and this bet won on both occasions.

These sides played out a boring 0-0 draw earlier in the season but this one promises to be a more exciting affair given Crystal Palace’s greater attacking impetus under Oliver Glasner. The Eagles have scored 11 goals in their last four matches. They are also conceding an average of 1.2 goals per game under Glasner.

Manchester United got the job done in a 4-2 win over Sheffield Untied midweek. The pressure was on after they capitulated against Coventry City in their FA Cup final. The jury is still out on Erik Ten Hag and the lacklustre defensive setup is at the forefront of the criticism.

Vincent Kompany’s side are three points behind 17th place coming into the weekend. They are still in with a chance of escaping the drop and a win on Saturday would provide a monumental boost.

Clean sheets have been few and far between for Manchester United. Both teams have scored in their last seven games. Those encounters have seen a whopping average of 4.71 goals. The Blades’ who lost 4-1 to Burnley last weekend, managed to bag a couple so expect the Clarets to have some success on Saturday.

Both teams have scored in six of Burnley’s last seven matches. The Clarets are scoring 1.71 goals per game and conceding 1.29 over that period. They face a depleted Manchester United defence here.
