Back Phillips for a parting shot - betting Friday, 28th Aug 2015 19:22 by Owen Goulding Professional odds compiler Owen Goulding says Matt Phillips is a good bet for a goal at Huddersfield in what could be his final appearance for the club. QPR travel north to see if they can continue their recent good run in the League. Paying any attention to the cup match with regards this game would be futile - as most fans have already worked out, QPR have a decent first choice side at present but not much strength in depth. Massimo Luongo, Tjaronn Chery, Ale Faurlin et al will be back for this one and that trio have been the main reason behind Rangers ability to look as though they can score with every attack. Defensively we have a lot to learn and it’s hard not to see a few goals again here. Huddersfield will surprise a few this season but avoiding relegation must be their aim. They have yet to win this season and in fact you have to go back to April last year to find their last victory. They have however, scored in all but one of their games this season, and Nakhi Wells in particular will fancy his chances of netting against the Rangers defence. They are hard to beat though, and go into this game on the back of three consecutive 1-1 draws. It’s a tough one to call, but i can see a high scoring draw developing. Assuming he starts, I recommend a bet on Matt Phillips netting at a tasty 11/2 on what is likely to be his last appearance for the club, and I'll throw a few quid away on a 2-2 draw at a tempting 14/1. Recommended Bets: QPR v Huddersfield - 2-2 Correct Score @ 14/1 (Will Hill/Betway) Matt Phillips to Score Anytime @ 11/2 (Stan James) Elsewhere my bet of the weekend comes in League One where the fast starting Burton Albion can continue their excellent start to the season with victory at Shrewsbury. The Shrews have started very slowly, saving their best performances for the cup, and the loss of Connor Goldson isn’t helping matters. Jimmy Floyd Hasselbaink has continued where Gary Rowett left off and the exciting young side from Derbyshire can take all three points here at a generous 5/2. Bet of Weekend: Burton to beat Shrewsbury @ 5/2 (Bet365/BetVictor) Big Price Goalscorers: Unlucky with Ned going very close last week. Here's this week’s suggestions... Hull v Preston - Paul Huntington to score Anytime @ 15/1 (888Sport) Colchester v Scunthorpe- Alex Gilbey to score Anytime @ 8/1 (PPower) York v Mansfield - Ryan Tafazolli to score Anytime @ 14/1 (general) Total Stakes - 180 Happy Punting!
