Premiership Top Goalscorer Odds Favourite Scores On Seasonal Bow As Rivals Fail To Fire
Tuesday 19 August 2008 at 11:52
Fernando Torres scored the only goal in Liverpool's away win against Sunderland at the weekend as his main rivals for the Premiership Golden Boot all drew blanks.
Torres Set To Improve Away Record
Torres only scored three away goals last season in the Premiership so backers will be extremely pleased he already has one away goal to his name. Paddy Power are offering a stand out price of 7/2 on Torres being top Premiership goalscorer this season whilst VC Bet duck the Spaniard at 5/2.
Ronaldo And Drogba Watch From The Sidelines
Cristiano Ronaldo (9/1 SkyBet) and Didier Drogba (10/1 Sportingbet) were both injured for the first game of the season and are already playing catch up. Ronaldo was the top scorer last season and is expected to be on the sidelines until the end of September.
Adebayor Puts Speculation Behind Him
Emmanuel Adebayor is 10/1 with SkyBet to be Premiership Top Goalscorer and he was booed by some sections of the Emirates Stadium at the weekend after pressing for a move during the summer but he has now committed his future to the club by signing a new contract and he should improve now his future is settled.
Berbatov Wants Out – Could Be A Great Bet
One player whose future is far from certain is Dimitar Berbatov who is 14/1 with Coral. He is desperate to move to Manchester United but Sir Alex Ferguson is not willing to pay over the odds for the Bulgarian. If he does get his move he would be a great bet at that price.
