  • Premier League | Gameweek 10 Goalscorer Treble

    Premier League | Gameweek 10 Goalscorer Treble

    After landing the treble for Gameweek 9 last weekend, we’re looking for a back-to-back double in Premier League Gameweek 10.

    The first stop in November, the weekend is headlined at Old Trafford as Manchester United begin life without Erik Ten Hag, with the visit of Chelsea on Sunday.

    With European commitments to come in midweek, rotation is yet to come into play, so who has made BestofBets’ Gameweek 10 treble @ 16/1 with BetUK.

     

    Mo Salah

    Gameweek 10’s punt begins on Merseyside, as Liverpool host Brighton in an intriguing re-run of their Carabao Cup clash in midweek with Mo Salah looking to fire for the third league game on the spin.

    Having netted the Reds’ crucial late leveller against Arsenal last weekend, Arne Slot’s men remain on the heels of Manchester City as they welcome the Seagulls to Anfield.

    Wary of Bournemouth’s upset win earlier this season, Liverpool can take nothing for granted against Fabian Hurzeler’s charges who have already gone to Newcastle and picked up a win, also holding Arsenal at the Emirates Stadium.

    As far as Salah goes however, the Egyptian has been prolific against Brighton with eight goals to his name since first facing them in 2018.

    Netting home and away in the league last term, without Diogo Jota leading the line, Salah looks a good bet to find the target in Gameweek 10.

     

    Matheus Cunha

    Next up, were off to the Black Country as Wolves host host Crystal Palace in an another potential early relegation six-pointer, and again, Matheus Cunha is likely to be the key man.

    Capitalising on a misplaced pass on a 4-on-1 breakaway from Brighton last weekend, Cunha punished the Seagulls with a late leveller in a 2-2 draw at the AMEX.

    A return home is welcome for the basement dwellers who are scratching around for points, but intriguingly, not for goals.

    Having tallied a combined ten goals this term, after their 2-0 loss to Arsenal on opening day, Wolves have also scored in every game in all comps.

    Facing a Palace side that whilst coming into this on the heels of back-to-back wins – dumping Aston Villa out of the League Cup – are still shaky away from home, allowing for ample room for optimism of further goals here.

    Cunha has netted in four of nine this term – two of the last three league games but furthermore, also scored home and away against their Gameweek 10 opponents. Cunha can be the man again this weekend.

     

    Cole Palmer

    To complete the Gameweek 10 treble (we hope) we are indeed looking to Old Trafford, and to the same man that brought it home last weekend, Cole Palmer.

    On the scoresheet against Newcastle last weekend, Palmer watched on from the bench as the Magpies exacted revenge in the Carabao Cup, clearly being prioritised for the league game here.

    United, set to appoint Ruben Amorim in the coming week, put five past Leicester in the League Cup themselves under caretaker Ruud van Nistelrooy, but also conceded twice, in a performance that had pros and cons.

    Embed from Getty Images

    From a betting point of view, goals at Old Trafford look absolutely nailed on now, with United set to be let off the leash and Chelsea remaining wildly cavalier.

    The last three fixtures between the sides have seen over 2.5 goals, and last season saw a combined net of ten goals, with Palmer – like Salah and Cunha – netting both home and away.

    The temptation might be to lean on home players for goals after their midweek showing, but there remains a doubt whether that United form can carry into the league, a worry which cannot really be applied to the Blues.

     

    BestofBets’ Premier League Gameweek 10 goalscorer treble @ 16/1 with BetUK: Salah, Cunha + Palmer

  • Premier League | Gameweek 7 Goalscorer Treble

    Premier League | Gameweek 7 Goalscorer Treble

    As the international break rolls into view, Premier League Gameweek 7 is the last chance to taste domestic action for a fortnight.

    With four of the top five in action at home, both Manchester City and Arsenal could rack up the goals, but who makes BetsofBets’ final goalscorer treble before the interval?

    With a policy of only backing players individually who are above EVS to score, here’s Gameweek 7’s triple @ 13/1 with 888sport.

     

    Kai Havertz

    Yes, we’re sticking with Arsenal’s Kai Havertz, who continues to extol Vorsprung Durch Tecknik.

    After his documented mini-drought, the German forward has netted in back-to-back games, late against Leicester last weekend and against a poor PSG side in the Champions League.

    A far inferior opposition are next to travel to the Emirates Stadium, as Southampton make the trip from the south coast having conceded three goals in three of the last four league games.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Whilst there may be more than a few wary punters after Leicester’s plucky showing in Gameweek 6, the Saints have shown little evidence they can come close to competing with the Gunners here.

    Worryingly for Russell Martin, this is Southampton’s first game against top four opposition, and you feel if Arsenal want to – with the international break to come – the hosts could inflict damage here. Havertz looks a good punt to make it three in three.

     

    Bryan Mbeumo

    Next up, we look to west London and as Brentford host rock-bottom Wolves, Bryan Mbeumo looks a nice addition to the betslip.

    Forgetting Erling Haaland’s ongoing exploits for moment, Mbeumo is one of the Premier League’s most in-from front men, having netted in three of the last four.

    With a penchant for scoring early for the Bees, the Cameroonian was on target in the opening minute in the last two against capital opposition in Spurs and West Ham.

    Embed from Getty Images

    All eyes will be on kick-off then, but aside from the chances of a remarkable third-straight statistic, Brentford face a Wolves side who look to be battling relegation.

    Having conceded twice in five of six league outings, their combined tally of concessions is 19 goals, and that looks likely to be added to, with Mbeumo in the frame once more.

    Perhaps the bigger question is, could Brentford once again find the net inside a minute? With Yoann Wissa out, it may also be worth a spin on Mbeumo to score first @ 6/1 with BetUK.

     

    Evanilson

    Quietly, Bournemouth are becoming a very watchable Premier League package and after their star summer signing got off the mark last time out, we’re backing Evanilson to hit the goal trail.

    As the Cherries sit 11th in the standings, Andoni Iraola is molding his side into a particularly attractive side, and Antoine Semenyo is very likely to be catching the eye of bigger clubs.

    Embed from Getty Images

    However, after his predatory finish against Southampton on Monday night, Evanilson could now be on to a good thing.

    Despite missing a penalty against Chelsea, the Brazilian is making an impact and having now opened his account, a trip to Leicester looks inviting.

    The Foxes have made a better fist of things in the top flight than many expected, but have still failed to keep a clean sheet in six.

    Bournemouth may have a chequered record on the road, but with Steve Cooper’s men unable to keep the door locked at the back, Evanilson could complete the treble.

    Premier League Gameweek 7 goalscorer treble @ 13/1 with 888sport: Havertz, Mbeumo + Evanilson.

  • UEFA Champions League | Matchday 2 Goalscorer Treble

    UEFA Champions League | Matchday 2 Goalscorer Treble

    As the international break looms on the horizon, before the final round of league games takes place this weekend, first, UEFA Champions League Matchday 2 rolls into view.

    With the jury out after the first round of the new era in the European Cup, the midweek plucks out a number of blockbuster ties, including Arsenal hosting PSG and a home baptism of fire for Aston Villa against Bayern Munich.

    And so once again BestofBets looks to three names from the hat to form another goalscorer treble, in Matchday 2 @ 18/1 with BetUK.

     

    Deniz Undav

    Matchday 2 is a Bundesliga-based triple, starting with VfB Stuttgart and talisman, Deniz Undav.

    With Sehrou Guirassy having departed for Borussia Dortmund, Undav has been handed the reins as first-choice number 9 and the German international has grabbed his opportunity with both hands.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Scoring in his last four outings, Undav netted a last-gasp leveller at Wolfsburg at the weekend, also grabbing a brace in Stuttgart’s 5-1 dismantling of Dortmund.

    On the scoresheet at the Bernabeu in Matchday 1, Undav is proving a man for all occasions, which we are confident can continue against Sparta Prague in Matchday 2.

     

    Victor Boniface

    Next up, we move from Baden-Wurttemburg to North Rhine-Westphalia, as Bayer Levekusen host AC Milan.

    Fresh off a draw on the road to Bayern Munich on Saturday, Xabi Alonso’s men will be confident of hitting their goal-scoring straps again in the form of Victor Boniface.

    As the Nigerian battles for a starting berth with Patrik Schick, Boniface has two league goals in the his last three outings.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Whilst far from prolific, Leverkusen have been, and in seven games in all comps have put three on the board, three of which saw a tally of four goals.

    Milan provide a tricky opposition after their recent derby win over Inter, but having themselves shipped a triple at San Siro versus Liverpool last time out, Boniface should be feeling confident of opening his European season account.

     

    Benjamin Sesko

    We finish up Matchday 2’s treble in Saxony, with one of the hottest young properties in world football, Benjamin Sesko.

    RB Leipzig have a formidable front two in the Slovenias and Lois Openda, but it is Sesko who is impressing more this term.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Despite a team blank in their last two Bundesliga games, Sesko was on the mark at Civitas Metropolitano at Atletico Madrid in Matchday 1, and before then, netted a double in a 4-0 win over Augsburg.

    Providing both assists in Leipzig’s surprise away win against the champions Leverkusen, Sesko is turning on the style in all departments.

    Juventus are the visitors in midweek – a side who have been extremely frugal in conceding goals under new boss Thiago Motta – but Sesko’s penalty duties swing the argument for his spot in the treble.

     

    Champions League Matchday 2 goalscorer treble @ 18/1 with BetUK: Undav, Boniface, Sesko.

  • Premier League | Gameweek 6 Goalscorer Treble

    Premier League | Gameweek 6 Goalscorer Treble

    As the Premier League season heads toward October, its five games down in the new season, as this weekend Gameweek 6 rolls into view.

    With the goals continuing to flow, few could argue the English top flight is now the ultimate in entertainment and it is goals where we look to once again.

    Gameweek 5 saw both Mo Salah and Jamie Vardy drop the ball, and after coming up short by one in the Europa League, can we get the triple home this week?

    Here is BestofBets’ Gameweek 6 Goalscorer Treble @ 20/1 with BetUK.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Kai Havertz

    Out first leg of the treble focuses on the Emirates Stadium as Arsenal look to maintain their impressive form as Leicester travel to the capital, and Kai Havertz is poised.

    As good as the Gunners have been defensively, in the league, Mikel Arteta’s men have not netted more than two in a game. That could change in Gameweek 6.

    Havertz is proving the ultimate team player for Arsenal, but the German has not found the net since Brighton visited almost a month ago.

    The Foxes have proved pluckier individuals than man expected, but in their two road games thus far this term – both in the capital – conceded twice to Fulham and Palace respectively.

    Havertz remains the first choice starter for Arsenal, and this weekend we expect his mini-drought to come to an end.

    Nicolas Jackson

    As many critics as Chelsea may have drawn from their off-field and boardroom antics, the Blues appear to have struck on a winning formula, not least Nicolas Jackson.

    With the threat of Christopher Nkunku and Joao Felix waiting in the wings, the Ivorian has been in great nick to start the term, notching four in five.

    Last time out at the London Stadium, Jackson looked his best in a Blues shirt yet, as Brighton make the trip from the south coast in Gameweek 6.

    Grabbing a brace at West Ham, Jackson for the first time looked like a real number 9 but having yet to open his scoring account at Stamford Bridge this term, will look to rectify that matter.

    Scoring in his first game against Brighton in last season’s 3-2 Carabao Cup win, Jackson looks more than capable of adding to his total against the Seagulls.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Chris Wood

    After a sensational start to the season, Nottingham Forest’s defeat to fellow-impressers Brighton was a setback, but not to be outdone, Chris Wood continues to shine for the Tricky Trees.

    It’s now three goals in five for the Kiwi striker, who seems to score on alternating Gameweeks this term (GW1, GW3 and GW5).

    However, as Forest host Fulham this Saturday, it’s worth noting two of Wood’s three strikes have come at the City Ground and we believe he can buck that trend of scoring every other game.

    Wood has always been a very capable man to lead the line, but now, under Nuno Espirito Santo, he looks a far different proposition; strong, and confident in front of goal.

    In the case of the visiting Whites, since opening day loss to Manchester United, Marco Silva’s men are unbeaten, but have conceded in every league game.

    That should give Wood – who intriguingly was handed penalty duties by Morgan Gibbs-White last weekend – and his backers, enough belief to see his tally go to four.

     

    BetsofBets’ Premier League Gameweek 6 goalscorer treble @ 20/1 with BetUK: Havertz, Jackson + Wood

  • UEFA Europa League | BestofBets’ Matchday 1 Goalscorer Treble

    UEFA Europa League | BestofBets’ Matchday 1 Goalscorer Treble

    After last week’s opening menu for the Champions League took centre stage, this Wednesday and Thursday sees the UEFA Europa League serve up the entertainment in Matchday 1.

    The desert to a traditional European midweek, the Europa League has often provided more goals than its big brother alternative, and like in the UCL, we’re eyeing the goalscorers.

    Rotation is often in play for these games, so it is worth considering who may start, but with that fresh in the mind, here is BestofBets’ Europa League Matchday 1 Goalscorer Treble @ 13/1 with Unibet.

    Artem Dovbyk

    As seamless transitions go, Artem Dovbyk has taken to life in Rome like a gondola in Venice.

    Netting 24 La Liga goals last term, the Ukrainian has swapped Catalonia for the Eternal City and has not lost a step.

    Having scored in his last two Serie A appearances, Dovbyk has combined with Paulo Dybala to form a lethal front two, despite Daniele de Rossi’s surprise dismissal only days ago.

    Athletic Club are the visitors in Matchday 1 for AS Roma who under Ernesto Valverde will be one of the favourites to progress deep into this tournament, but Dovbyk has the threat, and above all confidence, to add to his season tally.

    Omar Marmoush

    Next up, we switch focus to Germany as Eintracht Frankfurt host Viktoria Plzen on Thursday, and Omar Marmoush could be a smart addition to the treble.

    One of the most in-form strikers around, Marmoush has scored in his last three Bundesliga outings – now three in four games – including a brace away to Wolfsburg earlier this month.

    Embed from Getty Images

    On penalty duties to boot, the Egyptian forward carries extra value and though still in the shadow of Mo Salah for his country, Marmoush’s numbers in German football are creating waves.

    We expect that to continue in midweek.

    Dominic Solanke

    With the final leg of our treble, there is an element of doubt whether Dominic Solanke starts, but notching his first Tottenham goal at the weekend, the big man may be looking to hit form against Qarabag.

    The tricky Azerbaijan side – who almost become one of only two sides to beat Bayer Leverkusen last term – are very decent opponents, but in defence look shaky,

    Punters back Spurs at their peril on most occasions, but we are fairly confident on home turf they can put on a goals show.

    Even if Qarabag break the Tottenham boughs – which with Leandro Andrade and Junior Vieira in tow is a distinct possibility – but with Solanke looking to make a statement to the fans, he should be a confident leg to our treble.

     

    BestofBets’ UEFA Europa League Matchday 1 goalscorer treble @ 13/1: Dovbyk, Marmoush, Solanke.

  • Premier League | Gameweek 5 Goalscorer Treble

    Premier League | Gameweek 5 Goalscorer Treble

    After the Champions League swung into gear in not-altogether scintillating fashion, the weekend sees focus turn back to the Premier League for Gameweek 5.

    As Manchester City and Arsenal meet at the Etihad Stadium in Sunday’s blockbuster clash – after both City and the Gunners drew blanks versus Italian opposition – another close encounter is expected at Eastlands.

    So, this weekend, BestofBets steer away from dogfight at the top and look further afield for our Goalscorer Treble at 10/1 with Boylesports, but who has made out cut for Gameweek 5?

    Embed from Getty Images

    Ollie Watkins

    After his Euro’ semi-final heroics, Ollie Watkins can be forgiven for having a sluggish start to campaign.

    However, as super-sub Jhon Duran remains his back up option, and after Watkins ended an eight-game league scoring drought against a haphazard Everton, a derby encounter against Wolves looks inviting.

    The Villa man was forced off as a precaution in Tuesday’s Champions League meeting in Bern, but boss Unai Emery has said his frontman should be ok for Saturday afternoon.

    Wolves, meanwhile, have shipped two goals a game in all but one of six contests in all comps – five at home to Chelsea – and if Villa are in the mood, Watkins could have a field day.

    Though the menacing threat of Duran lingers to start ahead of him at Villa Park, we will stick to our guns with this one.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Mo Salah

    For Mo Salah, 180 minutes without a goal is something of a goal drought, but having blanked away in Milan and at home to Nottingham Forest in the Reds’ surprise defeat, the Egyptian should have better fare here.

    As Bournemouth make the trip to Anfield, Arne Slot may be wary of successive upsets, but despite a plucky showing against Chelsea, we do not foresee any issues for Liverpool.

    Salah has scored in three of four league games so far, and has a tally of four goals at home against the Cherries in his time on Merseyside – including one in the same fixture last season.

    Bournemouth may not ship nine goals as they infamously did in 2022, but we’re backing Salah to find the net all the same.

     

    Jamie Vardy

    For the third piece of Gameweek 5’s treble there are contenders aplenty, but Jamie Vardy gets the nod this time.

    The Foxes’ veteran striker has netted in half his league games this term so far, but crucially to our hopes, as Leicester City welcome the aforementioned Toffees’ porous back line, Vardy could be in line for another notch on the tally.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Twice now in successive league outings, Everton have surrendered a two-goal advantage, and Vardy played the full 90 minutes against both Aston Villa and Crystal Palace.

    With Steve Cooper having few alternatives up top, Vardy looks good to play the duration again, and cause Everton further angst.

     

    Gameweek 5 goalscorer treble: Watkins, Salah + Vardy to score @ 10/1 with Boylesports.

  • UEFA Champions League | BestofBets’ Matchday 1 Goalscorer Treble

    UEFA Champions League | BestofBets’ Matchday 1 Goalscorer Treble

    So here we go again, another UEFA Champions League adventure, but this season with a very different look and feel from Matchday 1.

    No longer a Group competition, European football’s top dining table is now a league, with the top eight sides finishing as seeds and nine to 16 progressing as the unseeded sides.

    However, between that point and now lie no less than eight matchdays, throwing up a glut of mouth-watering ties up until January.

    Weekday games are stretched over three nights also – Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday – leaving football fans spoilt for choice.

    So, as Matchday 1 begins, we’ve plucked a Goalscorer Treble from the 18 games on show at a combined 5.61/1 with BetUK.

     

    Erling Haaland

    Why start with anyone else?

    Still the hottest striking property on planet football, Erling Haaland was denied a record third consecutive Premier League hat-trick against Brentford on Saturday, but his tally still reads an astonishing nine in four games to start the season.

    Inter provide a stern opening test as the reigning Italian champions, but at the top level you would still back the Cityzens, and their viking hitman to find the net.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Simone Inzaghi’s men were held over the weekend by Monza in a Lombardy derby, however before that, thrashed Atalanta 4-0.

    Haaland may have only netted once in his last three Champions League games, but the Norwegian is on fire in front of goal and despite difficult opposition, looks good to open his European account in Matchday 1.

     

    Harry Kane

    As does Bayern Munich’s number 9, Harry Kane.

    Despite a sluggish start to the season – perhaps off the back of summer disappointment with England – Kane has four in the last two Bundesliga outings, putting three past Holstein Kiel only days ago.

    The important thing with the England man – netting twice in his 100th appearance for the Three Lions – Kane is a form player, so even when he isn’t at his best, a run of goals is like a trail of breadcrumbs.

    Embed from Getty Images

    Matchday 1’s visitors to Munich are Dinamo Zagreb, who sit third in the Croatian top flight having lost the last two league outings, most recently against rivals Hajduk Split.

    Kane looks to be finding his feet under Vincent Kompany now and his movement in Kiel was superior to any showing this term so far. Expect Kane to be on the scoresheet this week.

     

    Viktor Gyokeres

    The question is: just how good is Viktor Gyokeres?

    It barely seems possibly only two seasons ago the red-hot Swede was plying his trade in the Championship with Coventry City, but Gyokeres has truly spread his wings in Lisbon.

    Embed from Getty Images

    A record comparable with Haaland, at Sporting Clube, Gyokeres has scored in all five of Sporting’s opening games this term, netting braces against Rio Ave, Nacional, this past weekend at Arouca, with a hat-trick away at Farense.

    Gyokeres is a menacing presence up front and a Lille side who have conceded five in three will likely be sweating at the thought.

    With the Swedish international totting up the goals, Sporting could go far in this tournament, but at the very least looks good to find the net in Matchday 1.

    Goalscorer treble: Haaland, Kane and Gyokeres to score @ 5.61/1 with BetUK.

     

    Bonus bet: All THREE of Haaland, Kane and Gyokeres to score a BRACE at 105/1 with Betfred.

  • Euro 2024 | BestofBets 55/1 Matchday 3 Goalscorer Treble

    Euro 2024 | BestofBets 55/1 Matchday 3 Goalscorer Treble

    It’s crunch time in Euro 2024 as the Group stages come to a conclusion, so what does Matchday 3 have in store?

    With just six teams having booked their spot in the last 16 starting Friday, which 10 countries will be joining them in the knockout stages?

    Once again we’ve picked three anytime goalscorers to consider for a Goalscorer Treble, this week at 55/1 with Unibet .

     

    Switzerland vs Germany – Niclas Fullkrug – 43/20

    Germany look poised to finish top of Group A, and with only defeat to Switzerland in Frankfurt denying the hosts that, Niclas Fullkrug could be a smart choice for goals.

    With their passage already booked, after Kai Havertz was switched out before the hour-mark against Hungary, the indications are the Borussia Dortmund striker could lead the line here.

    Having become quite the marksman off the bench for Julian Nagelsmann, Fullkrug netted as a sub against Scotland and had openings to add to his tally last time out.

    Havertz has been a focal point to this point, but when Fullkrug is present, Germany carry that extra threat with an out-and-out number 9.

    The Swiss will be the toughest examination this summer so far, and it may take Fullkrug to unlock the door.

    Christoph Baumgartner – Netherlands vs Austria – 11/2

    Of the three scorers we fancy in Matchday 3, this one is by far the biggest punt but as the Netherlands face Austria in Berlin, Christoph Baumgartner carries superb value.

    After defeating Poland, the bordering nation are well placed to make the knockouts.

    However, they finish up with another stern test and Austria need to be at their best to take the point that will guarantee moving on.

    Baumgartner has been the lynchpin of the side for some time now, and after wasting a golden chance against France, netted from the edge of the box to return to the scoresheet.

    The RB Leipzig midfield looks at home in his country of employ this summer, and he may need to add to his tally against Oranje.

    The bookies have the Dutch as strong favourites here, but Austria can’t be overlooked given their work ethic.

    Baumgartner can be a real presence and individually if nothing else, 11/2 to score anytime looks inviting.

    Patrik Schick – Czechia vs Turkey – 9/5

    With Portugal Group F winners, the battle for a possible two further spots ramps up in Matchday 3 as Czechia and Turkiye meet for an all-or-nothing clash in Hamburg.

    And, crucially, Patrik Schick looks back in form.

    One of Europe’s most enigmatic front men, his goals come in equally mysterious spells.

    Having been afforded less than an hour against Portugal, the Leverkusen hitman was in the right place to poke in from close range against Georgia.

    Still the Czech number one choice, Schick has scored twice in the last three outings and afterinjury is approaching full fitness.

    Turkey will be intent on thwarting the progress of Ivan Hasek’s charges, but Schick is a potent prowler and we see him grabbing a second tournament goal here.

     

    Euro 2024 Matchday 3 begins on Sunday.
