No Match Result combo for us this week.

Four of Sevilla’s 5 home games have gone Under 2.5 Goals. Atletico are 100% on the road for that bet, and the form team for ‘low goals’ with a 91% overall record (10 games out of 11). These two are neck-and-neck in the league table on 20 pts each. Last season both meetings ended in 1-1 draws.

SCORERS
Two players catch the eye on recent form, sitting top of the scorer charts in their respective leagues – and also top of our Anytime Scorer standings…
League Two
Swindon v Walsall – Anytime Scorer – Eoin Doyle
Swindon are odds-on to make it 6 defeats on the trot for Walsall. The Anytime Scorer market looks the best place for a pick though, with Eoin Doyle in red-hot form in front of goal. Doyle has 13 goals in his last 13 league games for Swindon, including 6 in his last 4. He’s the top scorer in League Two, and the Scorer stats on our site show Doyle has given more Anytime Scorers payouts than any other player in the division (8).
- Anytime Scorer – Eoin Doyle @ 6/5 (2.20) Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook, Skybet, Ladbrokes, Coral, Betfred, Boylesports
Italy – Serie A
AC Milan v Lazio – Anytime Scorer – Ciro Immobile
Lazio have scored 11 goals in their last 4 league games, and Ciro Immobile has got 7 of them. The Italian striker has 12 goals from 10 appearances so far, putting him 4 goals clear of anyone else in Serie A. Immobile has found the net in 5 leagues games in a row. He’s No.1 in the division on our Anytime Scorer table, with 8 payouts out of 10. Three of his last 5 strikes have been from the penalty spot.
- Anytime Scorer – Ciro Immobile @ 7/5 (2.40) Paddy Power, Betfair Sportsbook, 11/10+ (2.10+) in general
