Coral’s bet of the day

• Ex-Chelsea man Kalou has bagged 13 Bundesliga goals this season
• The Ivory Coast attacker has scored six in his past 12 league games
• Kalou hit a hat-trick against Hannover earlier in the campaign
• Hertha Berlin sit comfortably in third, while opponents Hannover are rock bottom

Coral’s bet of the day

Friday brings a tempting Bundesliga bet for punters to enjoy, featuring old Chelsea favourite and familiar face Salomon Kalou, as his high-flying side Hertha Berlin host bottom dwellers Hannover 96.

Coral are offering odds of 7/2 for Kalou to strike first for the German capital club in their latest clash, and there are a fair few reasons why you might want to back the former Blues boy at such a princely price…

Kalou a Hertha hero

A far cry from his days at Stamford Bridge, the always promising Kalou has flourished as a forward since packing his bags for Berlin, and this season has been particularly prolific with 16 goals across all competitions, including 13 from 26 in the Bundesliga and three in four DFB Pokal battles.

With six in his last 12 German top-tier outings, Ivorian attacker Kalou is clearly a man in form, and is joint-fifth Bundesliga leading scorer, despite often playing on the wing.
