All 193 signals settled with 0 left without a result. 157 were bettable and 36 were skipped, finishing 106 wins against 51 losses for −£37.2 on £785 staked. A 67.5% bettable hit rate still left fourteen filters ahead, yet eight finished in the red and pulled the session below the line despite one strong volume pocket.

The leading marketplace strategy turned 17 signals into 12 winners for £38.25. Supporting greens of £14.4, £7.65, and £6.35 could not fully offset the losing filters while thirty-six tickets stayed filtered out.

Across 1,779 completed fixtures the mean settled at 2.49 goals per game — Over 2.5 in 45.5%, Over 3.5 in 29.1%, and both teams to score in 41.6%. It was a Sunday card tilted toward North American tempo, English women’s cup volume, and a handful of regional fireworks elsewhere. Late traffic remained material: 377 matches (21.2%) scored after the 80th minute, and 452 (25.4%) after the 75th. Austin versus San Diego in United States Major League Soccer swung from 1–3 to 3–3 after the 80th, Columbus Crew versus Inter Miami moved from 1–1 to 2–1, and KaPa Kajaani versus PonPa in Finland Kolmonen Northern Group piled on five late goals on the way to 11–2.

Open scoring lived on regional and women’s boards as much as on the headline MLS sample. Japan Regional Leagues Tohoku averaged 6.0 across five with Over 2.5 in every fixture, Wales Welsh Premier Women’s League matched 6.0 across four, Poland IV Liga Śląska I hit 6.0 across three, Sweden Division 2 Södra Götaland cleared 5.67 across three, and Czech Republic 2. Liga Women averaged 5.33 across three. Among fuller samples, United States Major League Soccer led the topline story at 3.6 across ten (70% Over 2.5, 60% BTTS), England FA WNL Cup averaged 3.43 across forty-four, Canada Premier League sat at 3.15 across twenty, and Peru Copa Perú averaged 3.0 across twenty-three. BTTS also landed in every fixture of Germany Oberliga Mittelrhein (six matches) and Japan Regional Leagues Tohoku (five). Quiet boards that reported 0 average goals — including several Argentina Torneo Federal B groups and Spain Autonómicas Galicia — were treated as incomplete and left out of the low-scoring read. Among usable quieter samples, El Salvador Primera Division managed only 1.83 across eighteen with Over 2.5 in just 16.7%.

Stoppage-time pressure clustered on MLS and Spanish women’s football. United States Major League Soccer produced after-the-80th goals in 60% of its ten fixtures, Spain Segunda Division Femenina followed at 80% across ten, El Salvador Primera Division reached 44.4% across eighteen, and Canada Premier League still delivered late goals in 40% of its twenty-match sample. That mix kept the full 1,779-match late-goal share above one in five even as quieter leagues stayed still after the hour mark.

Chance quality told another United States Major League Soccer finishing story. San Diego converted 3 from 0.79 away at Austin, Austin answered with 3 from 1.3 in the same fixture, SJ Earthquakes finished 3 from 1.32 against Portland Timbers, and LA Galaxy overperformed with 3 from 1.55 versus Colorado Rapids — who still managed 2 from 0.74 themselves. Waste cut the other way: Houston Dynamo blanked 1.36 at home to Sporting KC, Los Angeles FC finished 0 from 1.14 on the road at Dallas, Norway scored only 1 from 2.69 at home to Portugal in Europe UEFA Nations League, Mallorca blanked 1.67 at home in Spain La Liga 2, and Germany finished 0 from 1.28 against Greece in Europe UEFA Nations League. Combined chance volume underlined the same split: Vancouver Whitecaps versus DC United stacked 5.02 xG for 6 goals, while Nashville SC versus Toronto needed 3.09 combined xG to reach only two.

Shot trends rewarded ruthless MLS conversion and exposed volume without reward once an unrealistically low global shots-on-target-per-goal figure was ignored. 72 sides still posted 10+ shots on target. Tauro landed 24 for a solitary goal at home in Panama LPF, Grêmio W stacked 21 for 13 in Brazil Gaúcho Women, and FAS converted 20 into 3 away in El Salvador Primera Division. On the MLS conversion board, San Diego finished 3 from 5 on target (60%), Austin 3 from 6 (50%), and Real Salt Lake 3 from 6 (50%), while Houston Dynamo, Toronto, Los Angeles FC, and New England all blanked from three or four shots on target.

Form runs stayed loudest on the MLS board. Inter Miami carried a 12-match scoring streak into a late winner at Columbus Crew, Portland Timbers arrived on a 12-match conceding line, Toronto sat on an 11-match conceding streak into a blank at Nashville SC, Vancouver Whitecaps held a 10-match scoring run, and San Diego carried a 9-match conceding streak into the 3–3 draw at Austin.

Put simply, Sunday belonged to MLS tempo and English women’s cup volume — United States Major League Soccer owning both the open topline mean and the usable xG extremes, England FA WNL Cup carrying the large-sample goal average, Spain Segunda Division Femenina driving the after-80 rate, and marketplace alerts finishing £37.2 down even as a £38.25 top filter stayed clearly green.
