💰 Punt: Karamoko Dembele Anytime Assist
📗 Bookie: Betfair/Paddy Power
🎲 Odds: 11.00 (10/1)
⚽️ Game: Luton vs. QPR

Since joining on loan from Ligue 1 side Brest, 21-year-old Karamoko Dembele has had an impressive start to his QPR career. The diminutive forward has registered an assist in both of his Championship appearances so far, creating 12 chances in the process.

Dembele’s 2 assists so far have came from corners, assisting Jimmy Dunne’s goal vs Sheffield Utd & Michael Frey’s 3rd minute opener at home to Plymouth. He was a second half substitute during the week as these two sides met in the EFL Cup. In 19 minutes, he created 2 chances and 1 of those was deemed a ‘big chance’.

Karamoko Demble Anytime Assist 11.00 (10/1) is available with Betfair/Paddy Power and I think it’s a great price. I’m backing Dembele to make it 3 assists from 3 league games for Marti Cifuentes’ men.

The former Celtic wonderkid spent last season on loan at League 1 side, Blackpool. He accumulated 13 assists across 39 appearances, only starting in 29 of those games. He created 15 big chances & averaged 2.0 key passes per game.

💰 Punt: Burnley 15+ Fouls & Burnley 17+ Fouls
📗 Bookie: SkyBet
🎲 Odds: 4.75 (15/4) & 10.00 (9/1)
⚽️ Game: Burnley vs. Blackburn

Burnley 12+ Fouls Committed @ 1.91 (10/11) may be the more sensible bet to take, but where’s the fun in that? Much rather lose the kid’s lunch money on Burnley 15+ Fouls Committed @ 4.75 (15/4) & Burnley 17+ Fouls Committed @ 10.00 (9/1) with SkyBet.

Burnley are averaging 18.3 fouls per game across the first 3 Championship games under Scott Parker’s management. They’ve committed the following totals:

• Luton (A) - Burnley 17 Fouls Committed

• Cardiff (H) - Burnley 19 Fouls Committed

• Sunderland (A) - Burnley 19 Fouls Committed

Saturday’s lunchtime kick-off sees Scott Parker get his first taste of an East Lancashire derby as his Clarets side host John Eustace’s Blackburn Rovers. It’s a shame the game isn’t at Ewood Park as I’m sure Burnley skipper Josh Brownhill would have been welcomed with open arms!

💰 Punt: Oscar Mingueza To Score Anytime & Oscar Migueza To Score From Outside The Box
📗 Bookie: Bet365
🎲 Odds: 12.00 (11/1) & 67.00 (66/1)
⚽️ Game: Osasuna vs. Celta Vigo

Oscar Mingueza is benefitting from Claudio Giraldez’s leadership as manager of La Liga club Celta Vigo. The wing-back has 4 goal contributions in the opening 3 games of the 2024/25 campaign, for context, he managed just 5 goals and assists in 2023/24 across 41 appearances.

It probably helps the fact that he’s the best free-kick taker the world has ever seen since prime Juninho Pernambucano… Skip to 1:39 to see his free-kick goal vs. Villarreal from Monday night.

Oscar Mingueza is priced at 12.00 (11/1) to score anytime with Bet365 vs. Osasuna on Sunday. The Spaniard is also 67.00 (66/1) to Score from Outside the Box via Bet365’s Goal Method market. Another thunder-bastard of a free-kick ought to do the trick and bring home the bacon, or more fittingly, the tocino.

💰 Punt: Christantas Uche To Score A Header
📗 Bookie: Bet365
🎲 Odds: 34.00 (33/1)
⚽️ Game: Getafe vs. Real Sociedad

The experiment of Uche upfront could be coming to an unfortunate end. Getafe have bolstered their attacking ranks with the loan arrivals of Turkish forward Bertug Yildrim from Ligue 1 side Stade Rennais, as well as the recent arrival of Uruguayan frontman Alvaro Rodriguez from Real Madrid.

The Nigerian will still be a threat from set-pieces however, coming close with a headed shot from a corner again vs Rayo Vallecano last weekend after his headed goal vs Athletic Bilbao. The 34.00 (33/1) for Christantas Uche to score a header with Bet365 still appeals, even if he does revert to a more familiar midfield role. The 8.50 (15/2) for Uche to score anytime may be worth backing if he starts upfront and can be cashed out depending on team news, but, given their new additions late in the transfer window, I’d imagine he’ll be back playing in midfield sooner rather than later.
