Player Prop Picks
Eberechi Eze (England) has had at least one shot on goal in five consecutive games. We think this could be a decisive stat and we’ll bet on him to cover the Shots on Target line which is on offer at odds of -147.
Harry Kane (England) has been among the goals in six of his past eight matches. There are odds of -111 on offer for this Anytime Goalscorer bet and we think this is an attractive wager for the player to be on the scoresheet.
