⚽️ Game: Sheffield Wednesday vs. Derby

Another newsletter, another Nat Phillips related bet. Since Eiran Cashin went off injured vs. Portsmouth, Phillips has attempted to fill the void. The man who once Cruyff turned Zlatan in the San Siro now plies his trade at Pride Park and has had a shot in his last 3 starts. Averaging 1.1 shots per 90 minutes for the Rams this term.

Phillips and his Derby side, who have the best record in the league at scoring from set-pieces with a tally of 12 goals, now face a Sheffield Wednesday side who have the worst record in the league at conceding from set-pieces with the Owls allowing their opposition to score a whopping 13 goals from set-piece situations this season. Derby’s 12 goals scored from set-pieces equates to 41% of their total goals this season, meanwhile, Sheffield Wednesday’s 13 goals conceded from set-pieces equals 36% of the total goals they’ve let in.

On paper, it’s a perfect storm and there’s massive potential for Derby to score from a set-piece. Nathaniel Phillips to record a shot for the 4th consecutive game is priced at 2.37 (11/8) with Bet365 and he’s 8.00 (7/1) to have Over 1.5 shots with the same firm.

The likelihood for Derby’s centre-back pairing to be threatening from free-kicks and corners is enough to lure me in to a few bet builders as well.
