Summer Stats Picks...
We kicked off our ‘Summer Stats Picks’ feature with a Corner Handicap winner on England Women last Friday. The Women’s World Cup enters the Knockout Phase this weekend – and this time the Scorer stats catch the eye...
Norway v Australia
Women’s World Cup
Knockout – Last 16
Sat, 8pm – BBC Two
Match odds: Norway 9/4 (3.25), Draw 13/5 (3.60), Australia 11/10 (2.10)
To Qualify odds: Norway 13/10 (2.30), Australia 8/13 (1.62)
Australia are the slight favourites here. If the Group stage results are anything to go by then we can expect goals in this game...
Australia 1 Italy 2
Australia 3 Brazil 2
Australia 4 Jamaica 1
Norway 3 Nigeria 0
Norway 1 France 2
Norway 2 South Korea 1
There were 7 goals last time these two met, with Australia beating Norway 4-3 last year.
The bookies makes Over 2.5 Goals around 7/10 (1.70), with Both Teams to Score 8/13 (1.62) at best.
The Anytime Scorer market gives us a better return with odds-against prices widely available for Aussie striker Samantha Kerr, who is currently the tournament joint-top scorer with 5 goals from 3 games...
Kerr got all 4 goals against Jamaica last time out, and also found the net with the First Goal against Italy.
Kerr takes Penalties for ‘the Matildas’ too, so that’s a bonus when backing a Scorer. (Sam had her penalty kick saved in the opener against Italy, but reacted first to score the rebound.)
Backing Kerr in the Anytime Scorer market has paid out 6 times in her last 10 appearances for Australia – and she’s netted a total of 10 goals across those 10 games.
Five of those 6 scoring appearances also saw Kerr land First Scorer payouts. She’s 4/1 at best to score first on Saturday evening (Paddy Power & Betfair Sportsbook), 7/2 (4.50) in general.
The Anytime Scorer option is the 90-minutes pick here, with a top price 11/8 (2.38) available at Betfred and 13/10 (2.30) in general.
