bet365’s price of 1.5 on Harry Kane to have a couple of shots on target against Augsburg looks very promising given the record of the England captain. The odds on Kane to achieve this imply that he has a 66.7% chance of finding the target twice.

Kane is Bayern’s leading player when it comes to hitting shots on target in the Bundesliga with 13 from open play. This rises to 16 when penalties are included in the count. He is having 1.72 shots on target per 90 when spot-kicks are included in the figure, and this rises to 2.2 per 90 in all competitions.

He has been particularly strong at hitting the target on multiple occasions when Bayern have played at home this season, doing so on four of six occasions. He has stepped this up in recent weeks, having had two shots that have hit the target in four of the last five home games. The exception was against Bayer Leverkusen, a side that has given up the fourth-fewest shots on target in the Bundesliga this season.

Scored three goals in the league matches against Augsburg last season, including a double at the Allianz Arena.

Augsburg have the fourth-worst defensive record in the Bundesliga, having conceded 20 goals in 10 games, with goalkeeper Nediljko Labrovic statistically the joint-poorest in the league when it comes to keeping shots out (-4.7PSxG). This will encourage Kane to shoot.

Kane is playing virtually every minute for Bayern this season. He has played 88% of possible minutes across all competitions, a figure that rises to 93.2% when only the Bundesliga is considered. Given he only started one of England’s two international matches, that against Ireland last Sunday, he should be fit to participate in this game fully.
