Bet of the day: Pelle to pounce last for Southampton

• Graziano Pelle has hit seven goals and three assists in 14 appearances
• The Italy international’s last two strikes have had the final say
• Pelle previously fired home the final goal versus Aston Villa

Ruthless Pelle to pose problems for rudderless Villans

Southampton host Aston Villa in the Capital One Cup, and will surely field their big-guns against a Premier League foe, particularly with Sadio Mane suspended, leaving the door open for dangerman Graziano Pelle to impress again.

Prolific Pelle has never been on a losing side versus the Villans, and notched against the struggling side when they met in the previous campaign. Crucially, in that outing, the Italian attacker struck the final deadly blow in a 6-1 drubbing at St Mary’s and appears to have developed a knack of netting last.

With poacher Pelle’s past two hits this term both the final goals in their respective games, the Azzurri capped star makes sense at 7/2 to be last on the scoresheet again when up against an adrift Aston Villa.

Saints have excellent record in fixture
