Bet Builder Tips
There’s no denying just how big Sunday’s game is between these two teams that have shared one of England’s best top-flight rivalries over recent years. One point separates the pair heading into Sunday, with a victory here the perfect platform for either side to go on and lift the trophy in May.
Despite neither team not wanting to lose this match I am hopeful of a high scoring affair, with four of the last five meetings between the two featuring over 3.5 goals. Both teams to score has also landed in five of the last six clashes in the Premier League, but at 4/7 that’s not a price I want to take on.
Instead I’m siding with two goalscorers in Mohamed Salah and Kevin De Bruyne, with them both hitting the target on two or more occasions. Let’s start with Salah who has been absolutely sensational for Liverpool this season with 20 goals and 10 assists in the league.
The Egyptian King has amassed a total of 19.0xG this season which is 4.0 higher than anyone else in the division. Salah has started 26 matches this season and has scored in 16 of those. It’s interesting to see he has registered 2+ shots on target in 15 of those 16 league matches he has scored in.
When it comes to hitting the target in 2021/2022, Salah has been head and shoulders above the rest hitting 13 more than any other player in the top-flight. Before a ball was kicked this season, Paddy Power had priced the Liverpool forward at 9/1 to have 60+ shots on target, and with eight games remaining he needs just six more to hit that milestone.
The other player I’m siding with to get on the scoresheet is Kevin De Bruyne, who on his day is still the best player in the league in my opinion. The Belgian has been in excellent form over the last few weeks at a time when City really need him if they are to lift silverware this season.
Since the start of March, Kevin De Bruyne has scored five goals in his last five matches in some key games for his employers against Manchester United, Southampton in the FA Cup and Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
The attacking midfielder has been firing off the shots of late, letting off 20 across his last six matches. In that period, 12 have hit the target, with him clearing the 2+ line in four of his last six. All this considered, I feel we are getting a really good price at 27/1 for two of the Premier League’s most potent finishers to get on the scoresheet and hit the target twice.
