Bookies Leave Meat On The Bony
A prolific goalscorer last season and averaging 4.2 shots per 90min in the current campaign; 60% from prime positions.
The Premier League returns after the International break and that means we can get back to our favourite past time – backing Wilfried Bony.
Someone is going to lose their 100% record this weekend but whilst the bookmakers have Chelsea as the 3/10 (Bet365) favourites all the value lies with the opposition.
Swansea have arguably had a harder fixture list than Chelsea so far this season and they’ve won their three matches without a goalscoring contribution from Wilfried Bony.
The Ivory Coast striker averaged 0.58 goals per 90minutes last season and it shouldn’t be long before he opens his account.
Bony is currently averaging 4.2 shots per 90min, of players that have featured in 66%+ of their games (based on minutes played) only Kevin Mirallas and Daniel Sturridge are more shot-happy.
Six of his ten shots have come from inside the box from central locations, so we can be confident that Bony is still getting into goal scoring positions.
It’s only a matter of time before he converts and at 14/1 (Paddy Power) he is an excellent each-way bet to be first goalscorer, with 1/3 odds if he is one of the first 5 scorers.
