Player Prop Picks

Karamoko Dembele Under 0.5 Shots On Target -139 bet365 logo

Karamoko Dembele (QPR) can be wagered at -139 to finish without a shot on goal. He looks like an attractive wager on the Shots on Target market and we recommend backing this player prop bet selection.

Milutin Osmajic to Score +380 bet365 logo

Milutin Osmajic (Preston) has scored four goals in his past seven Championship away matches. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at +380 which will hopefully see him find the net.

Corners Prediction

QPR Under 5.5 Corners -138 bet365 logo

The 5.5 corners line has not been covered by QPR in five consecutive matches. There’s a price of -138 for this Team Corners bet and we think the QPR line is too big.
