Picks Summary

Anthony Gordon Anytime Goalscorer (+187) at Bet365
Erling Haaland Anytime Goalscorer at (-175) at Bet365

Newcastle United FC vs. Burnley FC

Saturday, September 30, 2023 – 10:00 AM EDT at St James’ Park

Key Betting Trends

Newcastle netted 8 goals versus Sheffield last weekend
Burnley has conceded 13 goals in 5 domestic meetings this season
Anthony Gordon has two goals from six games this term

Topping last weekend’s 8-0 drubbing of Sheffield United is an unlikely outcome for Newcastle United. However, Eddie Howe’s squad should be oozing with confidence, something they lacked in August, but now remain undefeated in four consecutive games since losing to Brighton.

Newcastle may have lost three games this season, but those defeats came against the division’s current top three teams. Furthermore, Burnley is second from bottom, is winless in five EPL games, and has conceded 13 goals during this stretch.

Outsider Bet in Gordon

We shouldn’t ask, ‘will Newcastle win?’ but ‘how much will they win by?’. The Magpies can deliver another impressive scoreline this weekend, and while we don’t expect eight goals, three or four wouldn’t be surprising.

Howe continues to rotate his main goal scorers, Alexander Isak, and Callum Wilson, and they’re the usual suspects for anytime goal scorers. Value hunters should ignore the obvious and look closer at Anthony Gordon, who put on an excellent display versus Sheffield – with one goal and one assist.

Newcastle can claim another high-scoring victory versus one of the worst-performing teams in the division. With that in mind, it further boosts the probability of outside goal scorers like Gordon landing on the scoresheet.

Soccer Pick: Anthony Gordon Anytime Goalscorer (+187) at Bet365

Wolverhampton Wanderers FC vs. Manchester City

Saturday, September 30, 2023 – 10:00 AM ETD at Molineux Stadium

Key Betting Trends

Man City are joint-second for goals scored in the EPL this term
Erling Haaland has scored in 5 of Man City’s 6 domestic games this season
Haaland has scored 8 goals from 6 Premier League games

Only Burnley and Sheffield United have conceded more goals than Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League 2023/24 season, and this statistic doesn’t bode well for Gary O’Neil’s squad, who are now faced with the division’s reigning champions that have netted 16 goals in six domestic meetings thus far.

Wolves suffered a 4-1 loss to Brighton, while Liverpool and Crystal have each put three past the sticks of Jose Sa. City averages 2.7 goals per game domestically, and after suffering a midweek EFL Cup defeat to Newcastle, we can expect a hunger for goals.

The Square Bet in a Winning Circle

Call me a square, but Erling Haaland, anytime goal scorer bettors, often sit in the winner’s circle. Much like last season, this man is an unstoppable force in the final third. The Norwegian superstar has already collected eight EPL goals and failed to score in just one of City’s six domestic clashes this term.

Haaland’s goal-scoring prop is higher than most Premier League home squads’ moneyline price. Still, it’s a betting position we can rely on because it’s a rare occasion when he doesn’t find the net, especially against frail opposition like Wolves.
