Euro 2016 Final Tips: First Goal Method
Ronaldo, Griezmann, Giroud and Nani have had 34 headed attempts on goal between them in Euro 2016. No other players have had more.
There are a myriad of betting angles available for the Euro 2016 Final and one worth exploiting is the ‘first goal method’ market. Skybet offer 5/1 on a header breaking the deadlock and that’s generous.
Much has been made in the build-up of Ronaldo’s Michael Jordanesque leap to put Portugal ahead against Wales in the semi-finals. He had already struck with his head against Hungary.
But it’s not just Ronaldo we should be keeping an eye out for to grab us a winner. Indeed, the top four players in Euro 2016 for headers on goal all feature in the final.
Surprisingly Nani leads the way with 10, along with the less surprising Giroud. Ronaldo has had eight headed attempts so far with the prolific Griezmann joint next best with six.
In a pretty static market we can take advantage of the aerial trend to get some value.
