2. Use First Goalscorer Stats<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n You should check which players are in top form, rather than backing a player who has not scored in 10 games! This brings us to injuries and suspensions, which regularly pave the way for any tactical changes. For instance, a defender may be pushed into a central midfield position if a striker gets injured and has to come off the field of play. That, of course, changes the odds of him scoring first.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n

3. Consider the Overall Form of a Team<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n In a broader sense, the above also applies to the team\u2019s overall form. If a team has a strong attack force, the chances that the team will score first are enhanced. Some teams are notorious for scoring last-minute goals, or for scoring early on and then sitting back to defend their lead. Such teams could be good picks for a First Goalscorer bet, and can dramatically affect Last Goalscorer odds, apart from those of the First Goalscorer. Dead-ball specialists, or better yet, a defender who takes penalties and free kicks, would provide higher odds and value.<\/strong><\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n\n

5. Playing Style<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/div>\n \n When making a goalscorer match bet, observing different styles of play could prove to be crucial in decision making. Do they park the bus in front of the goal? Are they a physical squad that tends to give away free kicks and penalties? Perhaps a player is just returning from a long injury and may not be able to complete a full 90 minutes. Be sure to take all such factors into account beforehand.<\/p><\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n\n\n
