Anytime Goal-scorer
Carlos Vinicius
Carlos has been the understudy for Harry Kane at Tottenham this season after his loan move last summer. He has started the bulk of matches in the Europa League and he is set to start. He has scored 3 goals already in the Europa League and he looks a likely goal scorer today. Betway has 2.01 odds while Bet9ja have 2.00.
Calvert-Lewin
Calvert-Lewin has bagged 14 goals already this season with three coming from a superb hat-trick the last time out in this competition. Playing against a top side like United won’t stop him from providing the goals as he has really proved his worth this season. Betway has 2.75 odds while Bet9ja have 2.56.
Karim Benzema
Karim Benzema is just a goal behind the league’s top scorer with seven goals this season. He has scored in each of his last three league games and he is in top form already. He is likely to continue his goal-scoring form today. Betway has 1.75 odds while Bet9ja have 1.60 odds.
Lukaku
Lukaku has proven in recent weeks why Inter needs him in the team. He has scored in each of their last 5 wins which have seen them get to a point of the top of the table. He is the most likely to score today for the team as he is in the form of his life. Betway has 1.85 odds while Bet9ja have 1.70.
Football Lover. All-round junkie of the beautiful game. Could be found watching football most of the time. If not he’s writing about them or making some punditry you don’t agree with. A certain bias for Arsenal and Santos FC.
