Gerard Pique, the Barcelona defender looks the value bet in the goalscorer markets for today's final against Holland. The former Mnachester United player doesn't have a bad scoring record for his country and the tactics deployed today will see the key strikers tightly marked and space at a premium in midfield. A set piece goal is very much on the cards in our opinion.
Prior to the World Cup finals Pique had played for his country 15 times and had bagged 4 goals. He played six of the ten qualifying matches and managed to collect three goals. He was first goalscorer against Bosina, last goalscorer against Belgium and bagged the only goal against Turkey.
He is a top priced 33/1 to score first/last but Paddy Power are top price to score anytime at 14/1. Ladbrokes go 8/1. Based on the stats all these prices represent value in a game where a defender has every chance of scoring.
