VirginBet Fives Round 36 Day 5

Another Fulham player but this one has 4 whole goals to his name this season second only to Bobby Reid who is on 5, still beggars cant be choosers.
3 players in one game and a glimmer of hope that Kane might score on Sunday
Watch this space to find out how I am going to spend my winnings 🤣🤣🤣

Virgin Bet Fives Round 36 Day 2

Tuesdays pick has drawn a Midfielder from Aston Villa. Douglas Luiz hasnt scored a goal all season but I have high hopes that he will beat his last seasons total of 3 in this game against Crystal Palace 🤞🤞🤞🤞
He has 30 appearances to his name this season and manages an average of just 0.3 shots on target per game. His discipline record is not good with 9 yellows and a red this season in the premier league and averages nearly 2 fouls per match. Villa are away at Crystal Palace on Sunday at 12:00 and have conceded at least 1 goal in their last 8 games (Home and Away) In their last meeting at Villa Park they beat Palace 3-0 back in December. Perhaps both teams will score this time but backing Luiz to score one of them is not on my “Bucket List”

Virgin Bet Fives Round 36 Day 1

Morning all
I have drawn a promising start this week with Spurs Striker Harry Kane. Spurs are playing Wolves on Sunday in the early afternoon fixture. With 32 appearances this season in the Premier League and 21 goals he averages 4 shots per game with 1.5 average on target. The fixture at Molyneux ended 1-1 with Kane not scoring nor assisting. There are bound to be some tasty morsels offered up by the bookies this weekend With only 1 yellow card to his name this season putting an “under” card bet and shots on target on to a bet builder bet might be worth a punt however there are no player markets formed yet on Betfair Sportsbook.

VirginBet “Fives”

This week I have only 3 players on my “Team” as I forgot to reveal them Monday and Tuesday

I have however drawn the Egyptian god of Goals again as well as Bowen and Murphy in the lunchtime kick-off between Newcastle Utd and West Ham Utd.
Jarrod Bowen has scored 8 goals so far for West Ham sand he is in the starting line up.
Jacob Murphy has appeared just 10 times in Newcastle’s starting line up and has Scored twice.
Mo Salah has 28 first team starts ans scored a total of 19 goals in this seasons Premiership League matches



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
