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.
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.
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.
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.
