EV Eagle picks out five anytime goalscorer tips for Saturday's football, including Jarrod Bowen, Morgan Gibbs-White & Kyle Wootton.
EV Eagle returns with five anytime goalscorer selections for Saturday's football, identifying players where our Positive Expected Value model believes the best price available is bigger than it should be.
This week's selections stretch from the Premier League down to League Two, with Jarrod Bowen and Morgan Gibbs-White joined by three in-form EFL forwards. Shopping around is particularly important, with significant differences between the best and worst prices available for all five selections.
Jarrod Bowen Anytime Goalscorer vs Millwall
Best odds: 17/10
Worst odds: 5/4
Jarrod Bowen heads to The Den in excellent scoring form and looks overpriced at 17/10 to find the net against Millwall.
The West Ham captain has been central to his side's superb Championship run, contributing four goals and two assists across their four consecutive league victories. Bowen scored first in the 6-0 demolition of Wrexham last weekend, while the Hammers have struck 16 goals across those four wins.
That gives him a favourable matchup against a Millwall side tasked with containing the most dangerous attacker in one of the Championship's form teams. Bowen was also not required to play the full 90 minutes in West Ham's midweek cup tie, which should leave him ready to return to the starting XI.
Kyle Wootton Anytime Goalscorer vs Sheff Wed
Best odds: 2/1
Worst odds: 13/10
Kyle Wootton has made an excellent start to Stockport's League One campaign and provides EV Eagle's second anytime goalscorer selection.
Wootton has scored four goals in six league starts, finding the net against Plymouth, Wycombe, Wigan and Leicester. He has therefore scored in three of his last four League One appearances and enters Saturday's trip to Hillsborough in strong form.
His attacking volume adds further encouragement. Across those six league matches, Wootton has attempted 25 shots, including four in the 3-4 defeat to Leicester last weekend. He has also scored on two of Stockport's three league trips, showing his threat is not restricted to Edgeley Park.
Sheffield Wednesday have started the season well but have already conceded in five of their opening six League One fixtures. Wootton should lead the line for a Stockport attack capable of causing them problems.
Kabongo Tshimanga Anytime Goalscorer vs Fleetwood
Best odds: 11/8
Worst odds: 10/11
Kabongo Tshimanga has quickly established himself as one of Barnet's main attacking threats and looks worth considering against Fleetwood at The Hive.
Tshimanga has scored three goals in six League Two starts, striking against Salford, Cheltenham and Chesterfield, while also contributing three assists. He added another goal in cup competition, taking him to four goals across his first seven competitive starts of the campaign.
Barnet's collective attacking numbers are also difficult to ignore. They have scored 14 goals in six League Two matches, averaging 2.33 per game, and remain unbeaten heading into Saturday.
Fleetwood have defended relatively well, which makes getting the best price particularly important here.
Jaze Kabia Anytime Goalscorer vs Stevenage
Best odds: 21/10
Worst odds: 6/4
Jaze Kabia brings arguably the strongest immediate scoring form of Saturday's five selections into Leyton Orient's meeting with Stevenage.
Kabia has scored four goals across his last three League One appearances, netting twice in the 5-0 victory at Bromley before scoring against Luton and Wycombe. He now has four goals and two assists from six league starts for Orient.
The underlying shot numbers during that run are encouraging too. Kabia generated five shots against Bromley, putting four on target, before scoring from one of his two attempts against both Luton and Wycombe. Across those three fixtures, six of his nine shots found the target.
Stevenage have conceded in five of their opening six League One matches, so the in-form Orient forward should get opportunities to extend his scoring streak.
Morgan Gibbs-White Anytime Goalscorer vs Coventry
Best odds: 17/10
Worst odds: 11/10
Morgan Gibbs-White completes EV Eagle's five Saturday goalscorer selections with a favourable home matchup against struggling Coventry.
The Nottingham Forest midfielder has produced one goal and two assists across his opening four Premier League appearances, directly contributing to three goals while continuing to operate in an advanced role behind the Forest attack.
Coventry's defensive start makes this one especially interesting. Frank Lampard's newly-promoted side have lost all four Premier League matches, failing to score and conceding 10 goals, including five against Brighton last weekend.
Gibbs-White also offers potential penalty involvement and should spend plenty of Saturday's contest operating in and around a Coventry penalty area that has already come under sustained pressure this season.
