Anytime Goalscorer Treble

StanJames are running another one of their promotions where if you place a £5 treble or acca then win or lose, you receive a £5 free bet. This week’s offer is on the anytime goalscorer market and applies to Premier League matches.

We’ve gone for Nikica Jelavic, Robert Snodgrass and Javier Hernandez to all score at home at odds of 29/1 with StanJames.

I was planning to back Wayne Rooney, but the England striker’s absence through injury, as well as that of RVP, paves the way for Javier Hernandez (2/1) to make an impact. ‘Chicharito’ scored off the bench against Villa last weekend and looked lively when he came on against Bayern. Even more importantly, on Saturday he faces a Magpies side who were torn to pieces by Southampton last time out, perhaps fortunate to only lose 4-0.

Meanwhile, Hull’s home match with Swansea pits together two teams who should just about have the firepower to survive the relegation battle. Jelavic (15/8) only has four goals since he signed for the Tigers but crucially he always looks like scoring.

The Croatian has already had 45 shots in 11 outings under Steve Bruce which makes him one of the most threatening strikers in the league. We have established that such players generally start scoring more as they ‘revert to the mean’ and the former Everton man is well overdue breaking his duck at the KC Stadium.

Norwich entertain West Brom in what is a crucial game at the bottom of the table but the Canaries have good form to fall back on at Carrow Road (W3 D3 L0). Robert Snodgrass (5/2) has been particularly threatening of late having found the net in two of his last three outings and four in his last eight. We shouldn’t be surprised; with 54 shots this season he averages more attempts per game (2.3) than the prolific Aaron Ramsey (2.2) did before his injury.
