Manchester City vs. Fulham FC
Saturday, September 02, 2023 – 10:00 AM EDT at Etihad Stadium
Vital Trends
- Rodri has scored in 2 of Manchester City’s 3 domestic games this season.
- Rodri has averaged 3 shots per game for Man City this season.
- Man City have won 11 consecutive domestic meetings at the Etihad.
Top of the League, Having a Laugh
To the surprise of nobody, reigning EPL champions Manchester City have firmly sat on top of the Premier League table three games into the new season.
With that said, it hasn’t been plain sailing for Guardiola’s men as expected, with a handful of nerving situations as tight scorelines and conceded goals may provide complications for the titleholders moving forward.
When competing at home, ignoring the likelihood of Manchester City claiming all three points is difficult. Their weekend opponents, Fulham, overcome Tottenham in the EFL Cup midweek, so they’ll need to be conscious of the confidence their visitors may possess.
Outsider Odds Too Good to Ignore
From a prop betting perspective, take your pick. The Citizens present a long line of potential goal scorers, thus making it difficult to single one player out.
However, an outsider bet on Rodrigo Hernandez Rodri presents a massive piece of value we cannot ignore. For Rodri as an anytime goalscorer at +600, the defensive midfielder is worth a punt.
Making History
Not only did Rodri make history and score the winning goal to give his team the Champions League trophy earlier this year, but he’s also already netted two goals from three EPL appearances this season.
Highly regarded as one of the best defensive midfielders in the world, the Spaniard has been providing goals and shots on target as if he were a forward. This attacking mentality has seen Rodri collect five shots last weekend versus Sheffield and four during his goal-scoring efforts at Turf Moor.
The Pick
Soccer Prop: Rodrigo Hernandez Rodri Anytime Goalscorer (+600) at Bet365
SSC Napoli vs. Lazio
Saturday, September 02, 2023 – 02:45 PM EDT at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona
Vital Trends
- Napoli have scored at least two goals in 22 of their last 32 Serie A games, with Osimhen starting.
- Lazio have lost back-to-back Serie A games to start the season.
- Lazio conceded 4 goals against Fiorentina last time out.
Hot Seat for Sarri
A meeting with the Serie A champions of last season couldn’t come at a worse time for head coach Maurizio Sarri, who’s currently under the microscope for a possible firing after losing back-to-back games to start the season.
Napoli started their 2023/24 title-defending campaign how the previous one ended, with many goals and three-point collections. Can newly appointed manager Rudi Garcia match Luciano Spalletti’s 77 last term goals? This is yet to be known. However, with a 3-1 away win followed by a 2-0 success to start the season, it looks possible.
Poor Form and More Goals
In stark contrast, this season, Lazio’s Serie A meetings have undoubtedly provided goals, but at the wrong end of the pitch for Sarri’s men. This is a huge concern when visiting the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona to face the clinical attack force of Napoli this weekend.
When looking deeper into the current anytime goalscorer player props, Victor Osimhen sits atop the list for many reasons. Not only did he net 26 goals from 32 domestic outings last term and finish with the Serie A’s Golden Boot, but he’s already netted 3 goals in his team’s opening two domestic fixtures this term.
The Pick
Soccer Prop: Victor Osimhen Anytime Goalscorer (-110) at Bet365
