Five fantastic new Champions League scorer shouts for group openers
Published:
The Champions League is back to brighten Coral customers’ midweek evenings once again, as the group phase kicks-off this prestigious competition proper.
With so many exciting summer transfers and new talents on the block, we bring punters five superb scorer shouts worth a wager that you might want to watch out for…
Yet the dazzling Dutch winger has never been able to show off his skills in the business stages of this competition before, but could aptly now make a dangerous full debut against former club PSV Eindhoven, where he is a fantastic 13/2 to net first.
The Eredivisie champions can’t have been expecting to face their potent prodigy so soon after selling him in summer, and are unlikely to have an answer for the attacker they know so well, making Memphis a sensational shout.
Manchester City were supposedly also in for the striker, so back dangerous Dybala at 7/1 to strike the first blow and show the Mancunians what they are missing, especially with compatriot Sergio Aguero coming off injured at the weekend.
As a La Masia graduate, Roma’s on-loan wingman Falque has more reason than most to impress as, since his single outing for Barca B, he has gone on to become a credible flank threat, notching 13 last term for Genoa.
Brother of Bayern Munich midfielder and Spain-capped schemer Thiago, Rafinha has recently made his Brazil bow and is now establishing himself as part of the Catalan giants’ supporting cast. Scoring on his second Samba Boys cap, he hinted at a nose for goal in Barca B, proved he had it during a loan spell with Celta Vigo and must show that at the Nou Camp now.
Vietto’s movement and instinctive finishing could make him one of the deals of the off-season but, at the moment, the striking starlet (5/1 to score last) is a better bet to get on the scoresheet away from Spain and in the cups.
