West Ham vs Nottingham Forest

Jarrod Bowen – Over 0.5 Shots on Target vs Nottingham Forest - 1pt

7/9 with Unibet

61% AI probability | 46% odds implied | 15% expected value

This has the feel of a six-pointer in the relegation battle, with West Ham 18th and Forest 17th. If there’s ever a moment for West Ham’s main man to step up, it’s now.

Bowen has recorded at least one shot on target in five of his last seven appearances, scoring three goals across that same spell. Expect him to be central to everything West Ham do going forward.

Elliot Anderson – Over 1.5 Fouls vs West Ham - 1pt

53% AI probability | 46% odds implied | 15% expected value

23/20 with SpreadEX.

Given the importance of this fixture, it has the potential to become a combative, scrappy contest. Anderson looks a strong candidate to rack up fouls if that’s the case.

He’s committed 2+ fouls in 12 of his last 20 games this season and in four of his last seven, making this a solid angle in a high-intensity matchup.

Lecce vs Roma

Zeki Celik – Over 0.5 Shots vs Lecce - 1pt

5/6 with Ladbrokes.

63% AI probability | 55% odds implied | 15% expected value

Celik let us down over the weekend on this same bet, but Roma now face a side conceding more shots than the league average.

He’s still managed a shot in 11 of his last 13 games, and at this price, he’s worth backing to return to shooting ways today.

Danilo Veiga – Over 2.5 Tackles vs Roma - 1pt

17/20 with William Hill

60% AI probability | 54% odds implied | 12% expected value

Veiga is a tackling machine. He averages 3.03 tackles per 90 this season and has recorded 3+ tackles in eight of his last 11 games.

Despite coming off the bench against Juventus last time out, he still made five tackles in just 58 minutes. Roma average the third-most possession in Serie A, and against high-possession sides Veiga has delivered consistently:

  • 3 vs Como
  • 5 vs Juventus
  • 3 vs Napoli

Another strong spot for his tackling output.
