Deadly Dzeko Ready To Strike
The Bosnian star signed a new contract at City this week to demonstrate his heightened worth to Pellegrini.
With Paddy Power offering your money back as a free bet if Daniel Sturridge scores anytime on Monday night, the smart move is to back the most likely player to find the net in the first goalscorer market.
Sergio Aguero isn’t expected to start yet so the best candidate to break the deadlock must be Edin Dzeko; the 11/2 available with Paddy not only includes a potential refund but is also the best price available on the market.
The Bosnian international finished last season on fire with five goals in City’s final four matches which went a long way to securing the title. In total the 28-year-old bagged 26 goals in all competitions - a remarkable tally considering he was often a substitute earlier in the campaign.
That’s all changed now with Pellegrini confirming his importance to the club by tying him down to a new long term contract this week.
This looks like a cracking bet considering Sturridge is the leading top flight scorer for the calender year of 2014 with 14 goals. Our chances of at least getting our money back are therefore high.
