We have created a Premier League goal time betting guide for one of the deadliest Premier League players in Son Heung-min. The Tottenham Hotspur forward scored his 14th goal of the season in their 4-0 demolition of Aston Villa last weekend, and Spurs have two fixtures left this month to further push for a top-four finish, and guaranteed UEFA Champions League football for next season.
Son also features in our FPL Price Changes piece, where we analyse his increased popularity and subsequent price rise ahead of Gameweek 29 in the Fantasy Premier League (FPL) game, and how that is reflected in bookies odds for his next set of fixtures. Nonetheless, in this article we explore what periods of the game Son tends to score in, and how we could use this information to our advantage when using particular betting markets.
Premier League goal time betting guide: Son likely to strike late
1-15’ – 1 goal
Son has only scored once inside the opening 15 minutes so far this season, albeit a notable one as he gave Tottenham the lead at Manchester City, in a game that finished 3-3.
16-30′ – 2 goals
Son has netted twice midway through the first half in matches this campaign, including his first strike of the season at Burnley, where he ended up scoring a hat-trick in a 5-2 victory.
31-HT – 3 goals
Most of Son's first-half goals have come later in the half rather than earlier. These included strikes in the North London derby against Arsenal, where Spurs earned a 2-2 draw at the Emirates Stadium, and at home to another title challenger in Liverpool, where Ange Postecoglou's side ran out 2-1 winners.
46-60′ – 1 goal
Son has only scored one goal early in the second half so far this term, which was again against Arsenal as he netted his brace.
61-75′ – 4 goals
Son is most deadly midway through the second half, as opposition players start to tire. Two of his four strikes in this period came as part of his hat-trick against Burnley,
76-FT – 3 goals
Son is also dangerous late on in games, with his last two goals coming in this period. His other strike came in a 4-1 win at home to Newcastle United, the South Korean's only penalty scored this season.
Son's remaining March fixtures: When could he strike again?
Fulham (A) – 16th March
Tottenham's last fixture before the international break is a trip to Fulham on Saturday evening, in one of only four Premier League matches being played this weekend due to the FA Cup. Son has scored in each of his previous two matches, so we would not back against him to get on the scoresheet again.
Both goals he has scored have been beyond the 76th minute too, so Son to be last goalscorer vs Fulham at 11/2 favourite makes him a tasty pick in terms of goal time betting.
Luton (H) – 30th March
Spurs' first fixture after the international break is at home to Luton Town in the Premier League. The Hatters are fragile after blowing a three-goal lead at Bournemouth to lose 4-3, and so the Lilywhites should be confident of a big score in front of their fans.
Tottenham to be winning at HT/FT at 8/5 favourite looks a safe bet based on this, and Son is likely to have a say in the scoreline with 14 goals already this season.
