Chuba To Feast On Tigers
Middlesbrough's Chuba Akpom netted against Preston on Saturday, continuing a theme from the last month or two - the former Arsenal man, who many expected to leave the club in the summer after a loan at PAOK last season, is the only Boro striker that's shown a strong poacher's instinct this season.
Hull City are unpredictable this season, but consistently poor defensively, conceding the most goals in the league and keeping just one clean sheet.
In particular, they struggle to defend through balls and they have conceded a high number of goals from inside or near their six yard box - that is exactly where Akpom operates.
There's a small rotation risk here, as Akpom played the full 90 minutes on Saturday, but it seems fair to suggest that new manager Michael Carrick will surely stick with the player that scored the first goal of his tenure. And if you believe in the curse of the ex... Akpom had a season on loan at Hull City six years ago!
3.2 anytime is good value for a player that's getting, and converting, big chances against the team with the worst defensive record in the league.
Back Chuba Akpom to score anytime at 3.211/5.
Tell Us Another
On loan from Southampton, Nathn Tella has scored six goals in 14 starts for Burnley.
Although he is a wide player, and can be dangerous when dribbling directly at goal and getting shots off, a more notable skill has been his movement off the ball: he makes dangerous runs in behind defences, into #9 type positions, while Jay Rodriguez occupies the centre backs. 5 of his 6 goals have come from central areas.
Tella is up against a Rotherham side that are playing their third away game in a week - from Coventry, to Cardiff and now league leaders Burnley. It's a heavy workload for a small squad of players, and Burnley are about as short a price to win the game as you will see at this level.
So to get 3/1 anytime about a player that has Burnley's highest open play xG per 90, takes the most shots per 90 and generally just looks a cut above the level feels more than fair.
Back Nathan Tella to score anytime at 4.03/1.
If you like the sound of those two goalscorers, the double pays more than just under 12/1.
