Bet of the day: Abel Hernandez to strike first for Hull against the Bees

Hernandez has a taste for opening poaching proceedings

In Uruguay international Hernandez Hull have the Championship’s third top scorer, with the striker having hit a nifty 19 strikes in his 38 outings, only behind Andre Gray and Ross McCormack, despite having played fewer minutes than the latter.

In lethal form, particularly of late, Hernandez has hit home in four of his last four fixtures, helping the Tigers stay unbeaten in all of them. Crucially for this dabble of the day, however, of the dangerman’s 19 league goals eight were openers.

While, Steve Bruce’s boys have also been most convincing on their own turf this term, with just one home league loss all campaign so far, increasing their strikeforce’s chances of bagging against the Bees.

Mid-table men Brentford have leaked a whopping 64 Championship goals in just 43 games, compared to the tight Tigers that have conceded only 33. Goal-hungry Hernandez should surely be licking his lips at the prospect of facing such a shaky backline, then, with Hull having already defeated them this term to no reply.

So, that tempting 10/3 price for poacher Hernandez to be first on the scoresheet seems superb value!
