Burnley vs Swansea Preview

England, Championship, Saturday, October 15th, 15:00 (UK)

Joël Piroe has started all thirteen of Swansea’s Championship fixtures this season. The Dutchman has scored four of the Swans’ 17 goals – a return he’s likely not overly content with but one that will no doubt be improved upon in the coming months.

Regarding the proposed selection, he’s one of the league leaders in working the keeper. The 1.47 shots on target per90 average has Piroe eighth in the division in that metric. Of the seven players above him, the Swans frontman has played at least two 90s more.

The 3.34 shots per90 figure under Piroe’s belt this season also has him at the dizzy heights of the Championship when considering shots statistics. Again, Piroe has played far more than those in front of him, highlighting his consistency in registering attempts over a larger sample size.

Burnley vs Swansea Best Bet

With Swansea appearing as one of the form teams in the league in recent weeks and claiming five wins in six matches, expect Joël Piroe and company to create opportunities in and around the Burnley box. The shot averages have this as a winner if trends continue, so the odds-against price is something to consider.

Selection: Joël Piroe 2+ Shots & 1+ On Target
Best Odds: 2.05 (bet365)
Stakes: 10/10

Bristol City vs Millwall Preview

England, Championship, Saturday, October 15th, 15:00 (UK)

Moving onto another Dutch top-tier Championship talent who loves a strike at goal, next up is Zian Flemming. Four goals in his last four games is a byproduct of the former Fortuna Sittard player warming to life in England.

The goal Flemming helped himself to against Rotherham will have rubber-stamped his arrival with aplomb amongst Millwall supporters. A fantastic strike that arrowed into the top left from a good thirty yards out from goal. That strike not only provides Championship onlookers with a taste of what’s to come in Millwall blue, but it also gives us somewhat of an understanding of where he’s happy to pull the trigger.

From 7.6 90s, Zian Flemming has recorded a 4.46 shots per90 average. That’s the biggest average of all the players in the Championship. And it’s the same story with his shots on target per90. The 1.97 figure per 90 minutes has him above Antoine Semenyo, Ollie McBurnie and Ross Stewart.

Bristol City vs Millwall Best Bet

Against a side like Bristol City, who ship 12.29 shots per90 at the wrong end, a full of confidence Zian Flemming should leave his mark.

An advantage of getting Flemming on our side in a shots capacity is that he’ll be a certainty to be standing over any free kicks around the edge of the box. That’s a massive plus in this market, as even if Millwall are lacking with the ball, we know one free-kick in range could get us an attempt closer to a payout.

Selection: Zian Flemming 3+ Shots and 1+ On Target (TRACKED BET)
Best Odds: 2.25 (bet365)
Stakes: 7.5/10

Reading vs West Brom Preview

England, Championship, Saturday, October 15th, 15:00 (UK)

It has been a tricky start to the season for West Brom. With Steve Bruce out the door and fresh-faced candidates lined up for the post, it’s up to the Baggies eleven to impress an incoming manager. It’s that want to showcase why one should be a guaranteed starter that could usher the suggested shot line home.

Grady Diangana, unlike Flemming and Piroe, boasts an average only just over the desired shot line: 2.08. However, with a new gaffer coming into the fold sooner rather than later, we could see several players keen to leave their mark even more than usual.

Reading vs West Brom Best Bet

The 2.10 is inviting enough to get on board, irrespective of management changes. Although, WBA now faces a Reading side that sit on top of the Championship’s home form table.

Reading at home has been a tough gig this season, not something I imagined myself saying in the summer. So, it’ll be by no means easy for The Baggies, who arrive having experienced a week of upheaval. With that reasoning, it may be wise to reduce the stake here.

Selection: Grady Diangana 2+ Shots
Best Odds: 2.10 (bet365)
Stakes: 5/10

Odds via bet365 as at 13:00 October 13th 2022. Odds may now differ.
