It is the last full EFL slate before the international break and Matthew O’Regan has five goalscorer bets to get stuck into.
Blackburn vs Derby – Carlton Morris To Score – 10/3 - Bet365 – 1 point
Carlton Morris was a popular figure at Luton, scoring 20 goals en route to a historic promotion to the Premier League. He then reached double figures in the top division before eight goals as Lutin were relegated from the Championship.
Derby signed him in the summer and the 29-year-old has hit the ground running, scoring nine goals in 14 starts, including five in the last three. Only Brandon Thomas-Asante has scored more than Morris this season who is value to score again against a Blackburn side in a relegation battle.
Middlesbrough vs Birmingham – Seung-Ho Paik To Score – 11/1 Bet365 – 0.5 points
Seung-Ho Paik was a key part of the Birmingham side that stormed to the League One title last year, playing 41 times in a stellar campaign.
While the South Korean only scored one goal last season, he has seen an increase in attacking input this year. With Tommy Doyle anchoring the midfield, the 28-year-old has been given more attacking freedom.

In the 1-0 loss to Bristol City, Paik registered two shots, before scoring from one of his three shots against Portsmouth. He then made it back-to-back goals, scoring the opener in yet another route for The Blues.
Bet3565 are the standout price here, with SkyBet going as low as 13/2.
Wrexham vs Charlton – Sonny Carey – 5/1 – Skybet - 1 Point
Sonny Carey sent the Valley faithful into raptures with a last minute thunderbolt to defeat West Brom 1-0. The 24-year-old is already a fan favourite in South-East London since signing from Blackpool in the summer, scoring 11 goals for The Tangerines last campaign.
This season, he has five to his name in 14 starts, averaging 0.40 goals per 90 and 2.98 shots per 90. Against a Wrexham side with just three clean sheets this season, the 5/1 on offer from Skybet looks value – especially considering he is 11/5 on Bet365.
Stoke vs Coventry – Thomas Asante To Score – 5/2 – Sky Bet - 1 point
Brandon Thomas Asante is in the form of his life. After just four league goals last season, the 26-year-old has been in blistering form, leading the line for a potent Coventry side who are dominating the Championship.

Thomas-Asante scored in the dying embers of the game midweek to seal the deal for The Sky Blues, making 10 goals already for the campaign. Under Lampard, he is giving greater attacking freedom, averaging 3.38 shots per 90.
Because of this shot volume, the inform striker often finds himself on the scoresheet and is generously priced on Saturday once more.
Wycombe vs Leyton Orient – Aaron Connolly To Score – 10/3 – Skybet - 1 Point
Once destined for great things at Premier League Brighton, Aaron Connolly now finds himself in League One with Leyton Orient. The Irishman showed glimmers of getting back to form at Hull but struggled to maintain this at Sunderland and Millwall.
However, a drop down in division to play under an attacking-orientated manger in Richie Wellens has done him the world of good. The 25-year-old has struggled with off-the-field issues but seems to have put that behind him, shining so far this campaign.
A pacey, tireless worker, Connolly and his strike partner Dom Ballard are a thorne in the side of defences. Connolly is averaging 0.37 goals and 3.80 shots per 90 and will fancy his chances of getting on a scoresheet versus a Wycombe side with just four league clean sheets.
