Cape Town - Midweek Premier League football makes it’s triumphant return this week and BET.co.za have some Boosts to go with it.
Mo Salah to score the first goal - 9/2
While Everton were praised over the summer for their transfer dealings, the reality has been far different. Mo Salah - an outcast during his brief spell at Chelsea - has become one of the hottest properties in the Premier League and is arguably a better signing than the entire motley crew The Toffees splurged their Lukaku money on. Salah currently leads the scoring charts with 10 goals, but it is his attacking stats that are most impressive.
He is responsible for 32% of Liverpool’s shots on target in the league this season, 24% of all their touches in the opposition penalty area and has scored or assisted 48% of their league goals. If Liverpool are to score first against Stoke, it’s going to come from Salah.
Liverpool to score first and draw - 21/2
Saturday’s draw with Chelsea was the fifth time Liverpool have dropped points from a winning position this season. Throw in last week’s capitulation at Seville and it’s clear that The Reds lack the mental fortitude and leadership to see out results in tight games. Away at Stoke is very much the time you need such attributes. Praised for the high-octane football, the Reds have a tendency to fade during the second half of games. If the game goes as expected, there’s a very tidy profit to be made on the back of the Reds tossing away another lead.
Raheem Sterling to score the last goal - 62/10
Shortly after his unveiling as Manchester City manager, Pep Guardiola sang the praises of Raheem Sterling. A periphery figure under Manuel Pellegrini, Sterling has become a key contributor for City and Guardiola this season. His winning goal against Huddersfield on Saturday came just days after sealing victory against Feyenoord. Toss in his previous winners against Bournemouth and West Brom and we have a trend. His pace and trickery in the dying embers of a game often prove too much for tiring legs, making this a pretty decent punt.
