Our EFL Goalscorer Tips to Watch This Weekend - 9/4/22

While Bristol City may be struggling down at the lower end of the championship table this season, the Austrian striker is the league’s fourth top scorer and has been in fine form this month.

City are set to host the league's bottom-placed side in what looks to be a spicy affair at Ashton Gate on Saturday.

Peterborough come into this one 17 points behind the Robins and having conceded a staggering 81 goals so far this season, Weimann will certainly be keen to add to his tally against such a leaky defence.

Not often would you see a last goalscorer tip, but in three of City’s last four games, the Austrian has scored in the 85th minute or later, including two in the 93rd minute.

With Peterborough needing a result to have any chance of staying up this season, and Weimann’s record of scoring late on, this could be a very open game with lots of goals. One to watch.

Wigan sit fairly comfortably at the top of the League 1 table. Only one point separates them and MK Dons, however, they have two games in hand.

The Latics are unbeaten in the league this month and with strong performance away to fellow title challengers, MK Dons as well as convincing performances against Morecambe and Accrington, the upcoming fixture against 18th placed Lincoln City should see Wigan continue their free-scoring form.

Keane, as Wigan’s top scorer and League One’s third most prolific, will certainly be looking to add to his 20 goals in the chase for the golden boot. He’s two adrift from current top scorer Ross Stewart and with Sunderland travelling down to play-off pushing Oxford, Keane will certainly be hoping to draw the golden boot closer.

While points may have been hard to come by for Stockton and Morecombe this season, goals for the 28-year-old certainly have not. He’s League One’s second top scorer and with a goal in his last two outings, he’s on red hot form.

Stockton will come up against a defence that has shipped 63 goals so far this season, four coming in the last game at home to Wycombe and six last month against Sheffield Wednesday, Stockton will be hungry to add to his current total of 21.

After a poor start to the season and increasing worry of relegation looming over the Essex club, they have finally found some form, with a large reason for that being the form of academy graduate, Noah Chilvers.

Chilvers has scored seven goals midfield this season, with three coming in the last five games.

His form has helped Colchester rise out of the relegation zone and sitting fairly comfortably in 19th, 11 points clear of Saturday’s opponents, 23rd placed Stevenage.

Chilvers will be looking to continue his form against a Stevenage side who are winless in their last 11 games.

Seven points separate top of the league Forest Green Rovers and second-place Exeter City. As a result, Rovers will be going into this fixture against an inconsistent Hartlepool Town brimming with confidence.

With the season-ending injury to top scorer Matt Stevens against Scunthorpe last Saturday, the team will be relying on the services of Jamile Matt to propel them to the league title in their seven remaining fixtures.

While other clubs would understandably struggle losing their main goal threat, Rovers’ dominance in the league this season is summed up by the fact that Stevens only leads their second-top scorer Matt by a mere six goals. Matt has 17 goals to his name and is League Two’s third-top scorer.

Stevens and Matt have combined for a total of 40 goals this season and individually are only bettered by Dominic Telford who was transferred to League One Plymouth in January.

Matt will no doubt be looking to catch up to his teammate in the remaining games, and against a leaky Hartlepool defence who have conceded 54 goals this season, is the perfect opportunity for him to hit the ground running in the chase for the golden boot.
