GG.com's Free Premiership Football Betting Tips And Statistics: First Goalscorer Betting
One of the most popular areas of football betting in the first goalscorer sector, despite the fact that bookmakers are less than generous via the compiling of the relevant odds. There is still money to be made however, though the following FACTS might surprise a few readers.
Try not to look at the following stats first, and hazard a guess regarding which player scored the most opening goals in Premiership matches last year.
Before making a rash judgement, consider the fact that the top Arsenal scorer in this sector was Thierry Henry who scored the first goal of the game on just five occasions.
Do not consider this as a negative Arsenal statistic however, as the figure merely prove that the Gunners goals were being scored by several different players, which is often the most positive sign a team can offer. Chelsea are the best example, as no less than five of their players scored the first goal of the game on at least three occasions.
The top first goalscorers in matches for the following clubs were scored by:
Arsenal: Henry (5)?Arsenal scored the first goal in 22 matches Aston Villa: Baros (4) ?Villa scored the first goal in 15 matches Blackburn: Pedersen (5) ?Rovers scored the first goal in 19 matches Bolton: Nolan (5) ?Bolton scored the first goal in 22 matches Charlton: Darren Bent (8) ?Charlton scored the first goal in 12 matches Chelsea: Lampard (5) ?Chelsea scored the first goal in 27 matches Everton: Beattie (7) ?Everton scored the first goal in 19 matches Fulham: McBride (4) & John (4) ?Fulham scored the first goal in 19 matches Liverpool: Fowler (5) ?Liverpool scored the first goal in 17 matches Manchester City: Vassell (3) ?City scored the first goal in 13 matches Manchester United: Van Nistelrooy (7) ?United scored the first goal in 24 matches Middlesbrough: Viduka (3) & Yakubu (3) ?Boro scored the first goal in 13 matches Newcastle: Solano (5) ?Newcastle scored the first goal in 16 matches Portsmouth: O'Neill (5) ?Portsmouth scored the first goal in 15 matches Tottenham: Keane (7) ?Tottenham scored the first goal in 19 matches West Ham: Harewood (5) ?West Ham scored the first goal in 15 matches Wigan: Roberts (5) ?Wigan scored the first goal in 20 matches
