Unfortunately, the Sergiño Dest Gem was void on Tuesday, denying us the chance to make it a perfect 10. But, I believe I’ve found the ideal replacement to kickstart the weekend’s football.

Djibril Soumaré to have 1+ shot on Friday night is generously priced at 1.53 with bet365, compared to as low as 1.17 elsewhere.

Soumaré has started just four Championship games this season, but has been remarkably consistent, recording 2, 2, 2, and 1 shots at an average of 1.96 per 90. Even more impressively, three of those appearances came away from home, and despite his side’s mixed form on the road, he has remained a reliable source of attacking output.

What truly cements this pick is Preston’s defensive record. They’re conceding an average of 12.27 shots per game, a figure that actually rises to 13.17 at Deepdale, suggesting visiting sides get ample opportunities to test the goalkeeper.

For a single attempt, 1.53 is simply too generous given Soumaré’s steady output and the favourable matchup. Considering other bookmakers have this as short as 1.17, this looks a sharp, value-driven way to take the Gem streak to 10 from 10 heading into the weekend’s football.
