Tag Archives: Shot on target

The Road to Cheltenham 2022 week 5 bet 4

The fourth bet this week was a spur of the moment boosted bet “Harry Kane to have 1+ Shot on target Boosted from 1/6 to even money. – A qualifying bet if ever there was one.
There was another bet on offer with Kane to have a shot on target in both halves which was 4.0 (3/1) which as it turns out would have come in as Kane scored both goals one in each half. But it does just go to show that these shots on target bets are dangerous . There were many offerings last night involving prominent Tottenham players to have shots on target – in the end there were only 3 shots on target from Tottenham and Kane scored from two of them
Still all’s well that ends well and this one won where many have lost. Happy days for me as it has reduced my loss a bit this week

Tottenham v Liverpool Shots on Target

Tonight Tottenham host Liverpool. and several bookies are offering boosts to their shots on target markets. Today as all the stats are in one place I will be looking at SkyBets very attractive offer of Kane and Salah to have 2 or more shots on target each at 9.0 (8/1) And Virgin Bets each team 2 or more shots on target each half!! 3.75 (11/4).
Lets start by looking at the last time these 2 teams met on the 16 Dec 2020 at Anfield. The score was 2-1 and Liverpool had most of the match dominating the possession 76% to 24% Liverpool had 11 shots on Target with Tottenham only having 2 . Salah acounted for 4 of those by Liverpool and Kane only one of the 2 by Tottenham. VirginBets offering, at this stage doesnt look too inviting, however I will dig deeper. Kanes’ average shots on target figure is 1.6 / 90 minutes. Salah does not fair much better with an average of 1.8. Both of therse players are the 2 top goal scorers this season with Salah scoring 13 and Kane sharing second spot with Son on 12 goals.

Since that meeting, and starting with Kane, He has had 2 or more shots on target in the following matches.
Leicester (A) 2
Leeds Utd (H) 2
Sheffield Utd (A) 2

Salahs’ only 2 or more shots on target game since 16 Dec is
Crystal Palace (A) 2 (only played 33 minutes)
This seems quite worrying as a dip in form is indicated.

Will probably only put one of my £5.00 free bets on this

After going through the recent form of both teams it seems that 4 shots on target for each team would probably be quite a good bet the problem arises when 2 shots have to be in both halves for both teams. I am still looking for a stats sight that split the halves so will not commit either way on the virginBet Bet
