Anytime Goalscorer Tips: Haaland heads four-strong striker acca on Saturday

Multiple leagues across Europe kick off this weekend so, in preparation for all of the action, I've picked out four players who I think will start the season in style with a goal.

You can find my anytime goalscorer tips below, with the four selections paying out at 19.82/1 in an acca.

Erling Haaland anytime goalscorer in Manchester City (N) vs Manchester United @ 4/5

There are no surprises here - Erling Haaland has scored six goals in as many games against Manchester United, including a hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium in a 6-3 win in October 2022. The 24-year-old struck in both league games against the Red Devils, netting once at home and bagging a brace in the return fixture at Old Trafford.

Haaland had the summer off after Norway failed to qualify for Euro 2024 and returned refreshed, scoring in his first two pre-season friendlies against Celtic and AC Milan before firing a hat-trick against Chelsea last week.

With Man United again suffering a spate of injuries in central defence, Saturday's Community Shield contest looks appetising for Haaland, who will fancy his chances of scoring at least once at Wembley.

Emmanuel Latte Lath anytime goalscorer in Middlesbrough (H) vs Swansea City @ 13/8

Emmanuel Latte Lath scored 11 times in Middlesbrough's final 12 games of the 2023/24 Championship season, taking his tally to 16 in the league and 18 across all competitions.

The 25-year-old Ivorian is one of the favourites to scoop the Golden Boot next May and will be looking to start off strong in Saturday's season opener at the Riverside Stadium.

Latte Lath has enjoyed a productive pre-season, netting against Bolton Wanderers and Doncaster Rovers, so he should be taking some confidence into the weekend, even if those efforts were against lower-league clubs.

Swansea shipped 65 goals in the Championship last term - only five non-relegated clubs conceded more times - and they were undone twice by Latte Lath in their most recent head-to-head with Boro, a 2-0 defeat on Teesside in April.

Michael Carrick will be targeting a top-six finish after missing out on the play-offs by four points in 2023/23, and beating the likes of Swansea at home will be crucial to doing so.

I'm backing Latte Lath to take his form from the first half of the calendar year into the new campaign and help get Boro off to a great start.

Alfie May anytime goalscorer in Birmingham City (H) vs Reading @ 21/20

Last season's League 1 top goalscorer, Alfie May, swapped south London for Birmingham in the summer as big spenders Birmingham City bought him from Charlton Athletic to spearhead their push for instant promotion.

The 31-year-old struck 23 times in the third tier last season and is fancied to retain the Golden Boot with plenty of talent around to assist him in his endeavours.

May struck in four of Birmingham's six pre-season friendlies, bagging a brace last time out against West Bromwich Albion, and is certain to start his side's opening game on Saturday.

At home, Blues will be expected to take down Reading, who finished 17th in League 1 last season, with ease, and if they scored a few, you'd back May to be amongst the goalscorers.

Noa Lang anytime goalscorer in PSV Eindhoven (H) vs RKC Waalwijk @ 23/20

Ajax academy graduate Noa Lang made a big-money move to PSV Eindhoven from Club Brugge last summer but, after an encouraging start, scoring in the Dutch Super Cup and four of his first 11 Eredivisie appearances, injury curtailed his campaign, and he failed to feature past January.

But the 25-year-old returned to action this summer, playing in three pre-season friendlies, and it took him just nine minutes to fire the opening goal in last Sunday's Johan Cruyff Shield defeat to Feyenoord.

Luuk de Jong (8/15) and Ricardo Pepi (8/13) are both favoured to score anytime over Lang, but the latter is unlikely to start, while I'm leaving De Jong aside due to his short price.

In my opinion, Lang is worth taking on in this market as I expect PSV to rattle a few past their opponents at the Phillips Stadion on Saturday; they won 4-0 at the Mandemakers Stadion last September, Lang scoring their second, before beating Waalwijk 4-0 in Eindhoven in May.
