Jimmy The Punt shares his Saturday goalscorer tips with a 233/1 treble covering action in the Premier League.
Nottingham Forest vs Crystal Palace
Taiwo Awoniyi
According to the xG generated per 90, the most clinical strikers in the Premier League are; Erling Haaland (0.82), Darwin Nunez (0.70) then Taiwo Awoniyi (0.63).
The former two's shots per 90 averages dwarf Nottingham Forest's frontman's tally though with Haaland racking up two shots per game more and Nunez attempting a staggering 6.24 per 90.
With Awoniyi averaging a comparatively lowly 2.64 attempts per 90, I make him one of the most efficient strikers in the division. With him underperforming his goals per game average the 3/1 about him to score anytime for the visit of Crystal Palace on Saturday looks too large, especially with Forest finding the net four times in their last two games.
West Ham vs Leicester
Craig Dawson
Despite Leicester’s surge up the table, an issue that has remained prevalent in their vulnerability from set pieces. Last campaign, they topped the charts for goals shipped from dead ball situations (19) and have picked up where they left off with an xGA of 5.56 conceded via them this season, the second highest total in the division.
With that in mind, West Ham’s Craig Dawson price to find the net looks a worthy punt. The central defender is edging ever closer to half a century, scoring when these sides last met.
This season, he has already found the net in Europe, averaging 0.5 shots per game in his eight appearances and generating an xG of 0.6 in the process.
Newcastle vs Chelsea
Miguel Almiron
Miguel Almiron was struggling for goals three years into his spell on Tyneside; however, with seven in his last seven top flight appearances, he is the league's in form man, already just one off his tally for his previous four seasons combined!
His form is unquestionably scintillating. Yet with the Paraguayan averaging just 0.08 goals per 90 in the Prem prior to this season, questions do remain over how long this purple patch can continue for.
At 11/2, bet365’s represents value regardless and with Allan Saint-Maximum returning to the fold, Almiron’s spot in the XI may come under some pressure, so you would imagine he will be doubly keen to make this form the norm.
