⚽️ Game: Sheffield Wednesday vs. Leeds

A poor start after last season’s play-off heartache has seen Daniel Farke’s Leeds side draw their first two league games vs. Portsmouth and West Bromwich Albion and lose a Carabao Cup tie vs. fellow promotion hopefuls Middlesbrough. The loss of starlet Archie Gray in the summer to Tottenham was compounded with the exit of star winger Crysencio Summerville to West Ham. To top it all off, they’ve now lost their talismanic forward Georginio Rutter this week to Brighton & Hove Albion. Farke’s men look to get their season up and running on Friday night as they travel to Hillsborough to take on Danny Rohl’s Sheffield Wednesday side.

Dutch defender Pascal Struijk has registered 3 shots across his first 2 Championship appearances this campaign. Scoring from the penalty spot vs. promoted Portsmouth and registering two headed attempts vs. a resolute West Bromwich Albion.

Leeds’ opponents Sheffield Wednesday, meanwhile, struggled to defend from set-pieces last week vs. Sunderland. Central defender Luke O’Nien scored from his only shot and fellow defender Dennis Cirkin scored a header from the first of his three efforts on goal.

Pascal Struijk has a career average of 0.7 shots per90 mins played. He’s had 67 shots in 121 Leeds appearances and 37 of those have been headed shots. Struijk will be a threat from set-pieces for Leeds as well as his new-found penalty kick taking responsibilities. Skip to 1:20 in the video below to see the Dutchman’s cool, calm and collected penalty from the opening day.

It’s probably worth chancing Struijk getting a third shot at 23.00 (22/1) with SkyBet as well. Friday night under the lights, this is what we live for, isn’t it? Misses a penalty, his rebound gets tipped round the post for a corner and then he gets his head on the end of a cross. Sounds easy enough to me!

Pascal Struijk 3+ Total Shots @ 23.00 (22/1) with SkyBet is worth flinging a couple of quid at. Or the wife and kids. Gamble responsibly, 18+ & all that jazz!
