Aston Villa v Fulham: Goalscorer Tip
No goalkeeper has denied him in the Premier League yet.
Fulham are one of the form teams in the country right now and one man is the primary reason for that - Pavel Pogrebnyak. Martin Jol made what had seemed a relatively low key signing on the last day of the transfer window, but the Russian international has arrived in spectacular fashion.
The 28-year-old has bagged five goals in just three appearances for the Cottagers. No player has ever started their Premier League career with a greater goalscoring impact than that. To make the statistics sparkle even more, the 6ft 3 in striker has scored from every shot he has had on target so far! Of course, this sort of record can’t last forever, but if forward play is all about confidence, then this man can’t go unbacked while he’s this hot.
Pogrebnyak is best odds of 11/5 (Sportingbet) to score at anytime against Aston Villa. When you consider that the hosts are winless in six games in all competitions, the former Stuttgart player will surely be licking his lips. The absence of Richard Dunne at the heart of the Villa defence only helps our chances.
