EV Eagle Betting Tips
| Match | Selection | Best Odds |
|---|---|---|
| Villarreal vs Real Betis | Marc Bartra Over 0.5 Shots | EVENS |
| Villarreal vs Real Betis | Troy Parrott Anytime Goalscorer | 15/8 |
| Como vs Parma | Anastasios Douvikas Anytime Goalscorer | 21/20 |
| Torino vs Roma | Paulo Dybala Anytime Assist | 11/4 |
| Leeds vs Newcastle | Tarik Muharemovic Over 0.5 Shots | 11/10 |
TIP 1: Marc Bartra Over 0.5 Shots - 1pt
Best odds: EVENS (Ladbrokes)
Marc Bartra has exceeded 0.5 shots in six of his last ten games, and he arrives at this fixture in outstanding attacking form for a centre-back, having scored a brace in Betis' midweek Champions League win over Lille.
His recent shot data backs up the trend too, with Bartra recording 2, 1, 2, 1, 1, 0 and 2 shots across his last seven appearances. Betis have been an example of defensive resilience and efficiency this season, winning at Real Sociedad, Valencia and away to Real Madrid, and Bartra's growing threat at set-pieces has become a genuine weapon in a side that has scored five goals in five competitive matches.
With Villarreal winless in five across all competitions and defensively porous, conceding eight goals in four league games, Bartra getting at least one shot away at a set-piece or corner looks a strong angle to open the card.
TIP 2: Antony - To Score or Assist - 1pt
Best odds: 13/10 (Paddy Power)
Antony has a strong record against Villarreal, having assisted in Real Betis' home win before scoring an important brace away from home to rescue a point in their two meetings last season.
He has made a relatively quiet start this campaign, but with Celta having won four of their last five games, the Brazilian should have plenty of opportunities to make an impact. Given he finished last season with 14 goals and 10 assists, it feels only a matter of time before Antony gets his first goal contribution of the new campaign.
TIP 3: Anastasios Douvikas Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt
Best odds: 21/20 (BetVictor)
Anastasios Douvikas has managed to score in four of his last five games, and Como head into this fixture full of confidence having thrashed RB Leipzig 4-1 in their first-ever Champions League match, with Douvikas among the scorers.
Como finished fourth in Serie A last season, and Douvikas was the club's top scorer with 17 goals in all competitions. Parma, meanwhile, have made a poor start to the campaign, losing to Cagliari and Juventus either side of a draw with Monza, and they hold one of the worst attacking records in the division after three matches, a sign their focus is more likely to be on containing Como's front line than threatening at the other end.
Note: Back Moise Kean (EVENS) if he starts instead of Douvikas.
TIP 4: Paulo Dybala Anytime Assist - 1pt
Best odds: 11/4 (BetMGM UK)
Paulo Dybala has found his mojo back this season, starting the campaign on a roll with four assists to his name in just three league matches, numbers that put him among the most productive playmakers anywhere in Serie A at this early stage.
Roma have scored 10 goals and conceded just once across their opening three matches, with Donyell Malen firing in five goals already and Dybala the man supplying much of the service. There is a slight team-news wrinkle here, with reports suggesting Gian Piero Gasperini could rotate his front line following a tiring midweek Champions League trip to Fenerbahce, but Dybala's importance to this Roma side makes him difficult to leave out entirely given the club's perfect start.
With Malen in red-hot form and Roma dominant in every match so far this season, backing Dybala to continue combining with his top-scoring strike partner at 11/4 looks an appealing way to close in on another productive outing.
TIP 5: Tarik Muharemovic Over 0.5 Shots - 1pt
Best odds: 11/10 (10bet)
Tarik Muharemovic averages 0.80 shots per 90 minutes so far this season and represents a genuine aerial threat at set-pieces, a route to goal that should be heavily on show in Monday's Premier League clash with Newcastle at Elland Road.
Newcastle were ranked 16th in the Premier League for set-piece defending last season, having conceded 17 goals from dead-ball situations, while Leeds finished as the sixth-best set-piece team in the division, scoring 16 goals via exactly that route. With Leeds looking to atone for their heavy midweek EFL Cup defeat to Chelsea in front of their own fans, and Muharemovic a regular target from corners and free-kicks in Daniel Farke's back three, 11/10 for the defender to register at least one shot rounds off our card for Monday.
