Our football props column is well in profit for the season. Next up is a trip to Italy's Serie A on Monday for a 3/1 shot.

"He’s bagged two or more in three of his last six at Stadio Artemio Franchi and should get chances in this contest."

Back Vlahovic to score 2+ goals @ 3/1

Only Ciro Immobile has scored more goals than Dusan Vlahovic in Serie A this season but the Fiorentina striker can reclaim the lead in that race on Monday night.

The rising Serbian star has been heavily linked with a move to Arsenal and it's not hard to see why when you look at his goalscoring record.

As well as his 16 league goals this season, he bagged 21 last term, while a combination of the two campaigns managed to set a record of 33 across the calendar year of 2021.

The Viola have been scoring goals for fun of late, particularly at home, where they've managed to net the following tallies across their last seven games: 2-4-3-4-3-3-3. They also come into this one having smashed five past Napoli in the Coppa Italia on Thursday night.

Vlahovic scored in six of those seven home matches and now goes up against a poor Genoa side, who have won only once so far this season and shipped 39 goals in their 21 games to date.

It looks the ideal chance to add to his tally and further press his claims for a move to bigger and better things.

Full stats

He's 8/13 to score at anytime but it's the 2+ goals bet which makes more appeal given the opposition and Vlahovic's record.

He's bagged two or more in three of his last six at Stadio Artemio Franchi and should get chances in this contest.

A brace at 3/1 looks worth a try.

For those after something bigger, you could add cards in the Bet Builder - referee Fabio Maresca is the strictest in Serie A in card terms, averaging 6.67 yellows per game. He's also produced three reds in his six matches.

However, the markets reflect this and there appears to be little value in adding such bets to our main choice - there tend to be fewer cards in games dominated by one side which is essentially what we are aiming for.
