West Ham v Man City Tip
He keeps buying a ticket and he may be due to win the lottery.
With PaddyPower offering your money back if the Premier League game ends as a draw this feels like a great opportunity to take on a speculative long shot with some insurance to fall back on.
After a 3-0 victory at White Hart Lane, West Ham will come into this evening’s clash with Man City full of confidence. The visitors are yet to win on their travels this season and the draw must be a real possibility.
One man City may not have identified as a primary goal threat is Mohamed Diame - a 20/1 shot to be first goalscorer with PaddyPower. It may seem crazy to back a man who is yet to find the net in 2013-14, but take a look at the shot statistics and the price suddenly seems tempting.
The Senegalese midfielder has already had 18 attempts on goal in the Hammers’ seven top flight fixtures. To put that in perspective, Premier League top goalscorer Daniel Sturridge has only had 22 shots from the same number of outings.
The 26-year-old is among the most willing to have a pop and even if the efforts are often from distance, at 20/1 he could be worth a punt.
