Take a Hammers tip as in-form Geo piles up the profits

|
Geo marks your Hammers card – let’s make some dough!

Last week this column saw two  winners from three at odds of Evens and 5/2, plus my charity bet with Betway won at 9/2 so it was profit all around and this weekend against Norwich, both teams will be looking to cash in on questionable defences.

The first tip is the most obvious one, priced at 1/2, it is for both teams to score. Neither side have kept a clean sheet yet and the BTTS market has landed in 5 of the 6 collective games.
Both Haller and Pukki are looking sharp with creativity aplenty from the likes of Lanzini and Cantwell, I don’t wish to call it a banker but…….it looks like a banker!
Last week Tom Trybull was fortunate to be carded against Chelsea and while he has yet to receive a card this season, his stats suggest it won’t be a long wait. He averages 2.7 tackles per game and 2.3 fouls, more than any other Canary for both stats. Last season he picked up 8 yellows and with him to face Lanzini, Anderson and Fornals, I am tipping Trybull to be carded at 7/2.
Corners can be lucrative but the data is somewhat blurred currently as Norwich have played 2 at home and their away game was at Anfield, likewise, West Ham have just one home game to go by and that was against City but the 2 other matches with
The Hammers included corners galore, 29 in fact with 14 of them being for us. You can find various markets on corners but the one that interests me is each team to have 1 or more corner in both halves which is currently at 1/2
Lastly, as mentioned earlier, I expect goals and the two main men are the strikers, Pukki has 5 in 3 so far this season which includes goals against Chelsea and Liverpool with our £45m man hitting a brace last weekend, it would not be a surprise to see both on the scoresheet this weekend and it is 6/1 for Pukki and Haller to score
 
Our charity bet is yet to be priced but it is only with Betway, we have requested: Over 3.5 goals, BTTS, Haller to score, Trybull to be carded and over 3.5 match cards…….Betway place a virtual £50 stake on with any winnings going to charity so have decided to go for a big price this weekend!!
