Player Prop Picks
Jaden Slory (Willem II) has bagged a minimum of one shot on goal in back-to-back Eredivisie matches. We are in favour of betting the +107 that he is able to cover the line, with this Shots on Target wager looking like it might yield dividends.
Milan Zonneveld (Sparta) has scored at least one goal in four of his past five Eredivisie games. When it comes to him scoring, we think that the -125 available is attractive when betting on the Anytime Goalscorer market.
