Doughty Offsides & Some EFL Goalscorers

đź’° Punt: Joseph Taylor To Score Anytime
đź“— Bookie: Bet365
🎲 Odds: 3.75 (11/4)
⚽️ Game: Burton vs. Lincoln

Since arriving on loan from Luton last month, Welsh forward Joe Taylor has yet to find the back of the net in League One. However, in the first half of the season he had a very successful loan stint at Colchester, he scored 11 goals in 25 games playing League Two football.

The 21-year-old forward has had 8 shots, missing 4 big chances in his first 3 appearances for Lincoln. I’m hoping it’s just a matter of time before he converts the chances he’s getting.

Odds of 3.75 (11/4) are available with Bet365 for Joe Taylor to score anytime vs Burton. I think it’s a decent enough price to get involved and can see him getting his name on the scoresheet sooner rather than later.

đź’° Punt: Fabio Carvalho To Score Anytime
đź“— Bookie: Bet365
🎲 Odds: 4.00 (3/1)
⚽️ Game: Hull vs. Millwall

Fabio Carvalho opened his Hull City account with a deflected effort last time out vs Sunderland. Hull will have had a 15 day break since the victory over fellow play-off hopefuls which hopefully means plenty of time on the training field for the Liverpool loanee to understand what Liam Rosenior wants from him.

I think it’s quite obvious he’s on a different level talent wise to the majority of the players in The Championship and I’m betting on him to prove that on Saturday. The 4.00 (3/1) on offer with Bet365 for the Portuguese forward to score anytime seems quite generous. Hull should have the beating of Millwall and I wouldn’t be surprised to see the Tigers find the back of the net multiple times.

đź’° Punt: Alfie Doughty 1+ & 2+ Offsides
đź“— Bookie: SkyBet
🎲 Odds: 5.00 (4/1) & 48.00 (47/1)
⚽️ Game: Newcastle vs. Luton

Some of you might remember a newsletter earlier this season where this betting angle went down like a lead balloon. Announce Groundhog Day!

Back then it was based on Doughty’s constant high position on the pitch which didn’t turn into consistent offsides until his last 5 games or so. He’s been flagged offside 6 times in his last 3 PL games.

  • Brighton - 90 mins - 1 offside

  • Burnley - 90 mins - 3 offsides

  • Chelsea - 90 mins - 2 offsides

As well as this, he was victim of the linesman’s flag in the FA Cup tie vs Everton.

More than happy to pull the trigger on Alfie Doughty offsides with the following odds available:

  • Alfie Doughty 1+ Offsides @ 5.00 (4/1)

  • Alfie Doughty 2+ Offsides @ 48.00 (47/1) with SkyBet via BuildABet

đź’° Punt: Kobbie Mainoo To Be Carded
đź“— Bookie: SkyBet
🎲 Odds: 8.50 (15/2)
⚽️ Game: Manchester Utd vs. West Ham

Opposition central midfielders against West Ham have been picking up yellow cards recently. Both Ryan Christie and Lewis Cook were booked for Bournemouth midweek. Gustavo Hamer and Andre Brooks found their way into the referee’s notebook when they played Sheffield United and Bristol City’s Joe Williams was booked in both FA Cup ties.

Man Utd’s talented youngster has only picked up a solitary yellow card in his 8 PL appearances so far but I think he’s worth chancing with the odds on offer 8.50 (15/2) with SkyBet for Kobbie Mainoo to be booked. Casemiro may be the obvious choice but not sure I can touch a player to be booked at 3.30 (23/10). Even if he does resemble Nathan “Nate The Great” Shelley.
