- Back Erling Haaland to score against Manchester United
- Back Alfie May to score against Reading
- Back Matt O’Riley to score against Hibernian
With the new EFL season getting underway this weekend, there is a packed fixture list to enjoy. The Scottish Premiership continues too, along with the Community Shield taking place on Saturday.
We have picked out a 67/1 goalscorer accumulator across those three competitions, which you can see below.
There are high hopes that Latte Lath can build on last season’s 16 goals as Middlesbrough chase promotion.
The forward took time to settle in England, but he scored in each of his final six games last term, netting eight times across those fixtures.
Saturday’s opponents Swansea are set for a strong season, but Boro look better placed and Latte Lath can make a bright start.
Leeds have lost some quality this summer but they have a squad packed full of top players for this level.
Piroe struck 14 goals for the club last season despite limited gametime, having scored 19 for Swansea the season before.
Leeds are heavy favourites to see off newly promoted Portsmouth and Piroe could have his say against last season’s League One champions.
Haaland had the summer off and that break should lead to a strong start. He impressed in pre-season, scoring five times across Manchester City’s four games.
After a hat-trick against Chelsea in their last friendly, Haaland can trouble Manchester United this weekend in the Community Shield.
He’s scored six goals across six meetings with City’s local rivals, so back last season’s top scorer to net in the curtain raiser.
May was League One’s top scorer with Charlton last season and that earned him a move to promotion favourites Birmingham.
The Blues have spent big to ensure their spell in the third tier is a short one and they are favourites to see off troubled Reading.
May struck 23 times last term and he can build on that in this talented Blues side, so back him to score this weekend.
O’Riley continues to be linked with a move away, but he started for Celtic last weekend and had three shots in their win over Kilmarnock without scoring.
However, the Dane did his best work on the road last season, with 11 of his 18 goals coming in away matches, so this visit to Hibernian should see him cause problems.
Hibs were beaten 3-0 by St Mirren in their opener, so talented midfielder O’Riley and the rest of this Celtic team should relish this trip.
