Consider the teams and players involved in the contest.<\/strong> You can see on our table the rates of success from the penalty spot and minutes per successful kick. If the player in question is healthy and available, then it could be worth a punt. For example, Manchester United midfielder Bruno Fernandes scored nine penalties in the Premier League in the 2020\/21 season, scoring at a rate of one every four games.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

Evaluate the teams in the contest.<\/strong> If one side is stronger than the other, for example, Liverpool vs Norwich, then the Reds will likely be in and around the Canaries' box a lot. It gives greater opportunities for penalties to be awarded for Liverpool rather than their opponents.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

Look at the record of penalty takers both home and away.<\/strong> Our filter allows you to look at the form of players at home and away. Your man might be cool as ice in front of his own fans, but when forced to travel he may crack under the pressure. The statistics are there to determine whether you should lodge a wager one way or the other.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

The impact of VAR.<\/strong> Since VAR has been introduced into the major European leagues, more penalties have been awarded across the board. The 2020\/21 Premier League season saw 124 penalties awarded during the campaign, beating the previous record by 13 penalties. The trend has declined somewhat in the current term, but it is always worth consideration. On the other hand, VAR is not available in the Championship, League One and League Two, therefore, it is worth bearing in mind that penalties may be reduced in these divisions.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n \n \n

The quality of the keepers.<\/strong> A great goalkeeper can be the difference between winning and losing a match. If you find a keeper that specialises in saving penalties, it may sway your decision in what market to bet on during a contest.<\/p>\n <\/div>\n <\/div>\n <\/li>\n <\/ul>\n <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\nPenalty Taker Stats<\/h2>\n \n\n\n Most Penalty Goals in Premier League History\n <\/h3>\n \n\n\n
