Newcastle v Man Utd: Anytime Goalscorer Tip
The PL's leading scorer and he found the net in both fixtures against these opponents last season.
It’s a bet that’s worked out well for us before, and at best odds of 12/5 (StanJames) I’m more than happy to side with the Premier League’s leading poacher again in the anytime goalscorer market.
Demba Ba has struck six times in six matches in the top flight this season including five in his last three outings. Having been rested for Newcastle’s Europa League clash on Thursday, he will now return against the Red Devils fresh and full of confidence.
The 27-year-old has maintained a spectacular strike rate in English football and scored in both league fixtures against United last campaign. Sir Alex Ferguson will be extremely wary of the Magpies threat with his injury-hit defence creaking with alarming regularity lately.
When you see Van Persie (5/4 BetVictor), Rooney (13/8 Boylesports) and even Wellbeck (9/4 StanJames) so short in the anytime betting, Ba stands out as cracking value.
