Here are today's five picks:
Tip 1: Marcus Tavernier – To Score Or Assist
Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 15/8 (bet365)
Tavernier already has a goal involvement on the board this season, having opened the scoring in Bournemouth's win over Manchester City on the opening weekend, and he remains one of the most consistent sources of end product in Marco Rose's side.
Marcus Tavernier has managed to score or assist in three of his last seven Premier League games, while his early-season goal further underlines his attacking threat. Everton's defence kept a clean sheet against Crystal Palace but has looked shakier when forced onto the back foot, representing a fair opportunity for Tavernier to add to his tally at home.
Tip 2: Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall – Over 1.5 Shots
Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 23/20 (Priced Up)
Dewsbury-Hall was Everton's standout performer on the opening weekend, scoring in the win over Crystal Palace and continuing to operate as David Moyes's most advanced midfielder. He's cleared this shots line in five of his last eight league appearances, and with Bournemouth likely to see plenty of the ball themselves, Everton's counters through Dewsbury-Hall should generate the kind of half-chances that lead to shooting opportunities from range. The AI projection of 1.7 shots also suggests he has a strong chance of clearing the line, adding further confidence to this selection.
Tip 3: Adrian Segecic – To Score Or Assist
Stake: 0.75pts
Best odds: 21/10 (Virgin Bet)
Segecic was Portsmouth's top scorer last season with 11 goals in the Championship, and he remains their most dangerous attacking outlet heading into this trip to Ashton Gate. Adrian Segecic has managed to score or assist in seven of his last nine games, while he has directly contributed to a goal in four of his last five, underlining just how consistently he has been involved in Portsmouth's attacking play.
With Bristol City having shown defensive vulnerability at home in recent seasons, this looks a favourable matchup for Portsmouth's main creative threat to add another goal contribution.
Tip 4: Jesper Karlström – Over 0.5 Shots
Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 21/20 (BetVictor)
Karlström operates as Udinese's captain and the metronome of their midfield, and while he's not primarily known as a shooter, his willingness to arrive late into the box on set pieces and second-phase attacks has kept this line within reach across his career. Jesper Karlström has exceeded 0.5 shots in six of his last nine games, highlighting a recent consistency in getting an effort away despite his deeper midfield role.
Facing a Monza side who struggled defensively last season, Udinese should enjoy long periods of possession at home, giving Karlström the platform to get at least one effort away. The AI projection of 1.1 shots also points towards him clearing the 0.5 line, making this a solid angle for the fixture.
Tip 5: Lucien Agoumé – Over 2.5 Tackles
Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 11/10 (10bet)
Agoumé has established himself as the defensive anchor of Sevilla's midfield since his move from Inter Milan, regularly leading the side in ball-winning actions. Lucien Agoumé has exceeded 2.5 tackles in nine of his last 10 games, underlining just how consistently he gets through a high volume of defensive work.
Facing an Atlético Madrid team who like to build patiently through midfield, there should be no shortage of opportunities for Agoumé to get involved, while a fiercely contested early-season clash at the Sánchez-Pizjuán only raises the likelihood of a heavy defensive workload for Sevilla's number 18. The AI projection of 3.1 tackles also puts him comfortably above the 2.5 line, making this an appealing angle for the game.
