LAST night’s BTTS was a loser for Jordan with Southampton failing to net at Old Trafford. They had their chances and had one called offside and rightly so.
Jordan says: You’ll have to excuse the write-up for today’s punts as I’m just off the the back of three night shifts and have a wedding later today so time is limited.
Both these sides are playing teams who haven’t had the best of starts to their campaign and will need results. Burton haven’t been great but they’ve found the goals against Forest, Bristol City and a decent 3-1 win over Sheffield Wednesday midweek. They now travel to a Blackburn side who have lost all three games and will need to start picking up points in this gruelling league.
The same goes for Preston who will travel to Loftus Road and face a QPR side who have also been in the goals. They lost midweek at Barnsley but still found the net twice and beat Leeds at home comfortably on the opening day of the season and a 2-0 win in Cardiff. Tjarron Chery has scored in all three games for QPR this season and is 13-5 at Paddy Power to continue his form.
The goal times are decent, QPR (52mins) and Burton (61mins), but instead I’m going to go back to my old roots and put both to score in a double and take Chery as a scorer with a 1pt stake.
On Sunday I’m taking West Ham to score twice against Bournemouth. The Hammers might have had a trip to Romania in the week but focus will be getting their first point(s) of the season in their Premier League debut in their new home and they will have a good chance against Bournemouth who conceded three pathetic goals (imo) against United last weekend.
