It’s a bumper Easter weekend, with some huge Football League fixtures underway on Good Friday, before the semi-finals, Premier League and the rest of Europe gets underway on Saturday.

For those looking to back the goalscorer market, it’s a tricky weekend with some tight clashes that could go either way at both the top and the bottom of their respective tables. However, do not fear. As normal our expert team have put their betting tips together, including the first goalscorer market.

Our First Goalscorer Tips For 15-17 April, 2022

Brentford v Watford

Brentford’s Ivan Toney to score first at 18/5 with 888sport

Brentford have been in the goals of late, and that’s largely thanks to the performances of Ivan Toney, who sits as fifth top scorer in the Premier League, with the same tally as Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Toney is favourite to grab the first goal in this game, and with Watford leaking goals for fun, as well as not being able to net themselves, it looks a solid bet at 18/5 with 888sport.

Tottenham Hotspur v Brighton & Hove Albion

Son Heung Min to score first at 3/1 with 888sport

Both Son and Harry Kane have been banging in the goals in recent weeks and while Brighton are certainly proving their worth in the Premier League, Spurs have scored a staggering 21 in their last seven games, including a 2-0 win over Brighton.

They face-off again and we expect a similar outcome. Last time out it was Cristian Romero and Harry Kane got on the scoresheet, and we certainly expect the league’s second top scorer Son to bag first at 3/1 this weekend.

Atletico Madrid v Espanyol

Antoine Griezmann to score first at 9/2 with 888sport

Atletico will be looking to get back on track this weekend following defeat to Mallorca, and they should have no problem getting past Espanyol, who they are heavy favourites to beat. With a wealth of attacking talent, we’re backing Antoine Griezmann to get on the scoresheet first, despite not the best season in front of goal.

He can be backed at 9/2 to be the first goalscorer with 888sport, although of course you may wish to back Luis Suarez, Joao Felix or Angel Correa too.

Southampton v Arsenal

Gabriel Martinelli to score first at 6/1 with 888sport

Southampton had a “Southampton moment” last weekend, suffering a 6-0 loss to Chelsea, and while we don’t expect a similar outcome this weekend they face a tough opponent in Arsenal who are pushing for the top four.

There are a number of Gunners stars who could break the deadlock in this fixture, but following a controversial goal ruled out last weekend, we’re backing Martinelli to get the opener at 6/1 with 888sport.
