How does Positive Expected Value (EV) betting work?

When bookmakers set betting lines, they estimate the likelihood of each outcome.

Value Bets, our Positive EV Tool available for Oddschecker+ subscribers, leverages advanced AI to perform 100 million projections each week and monitors 125 million live price changes daily. This enables it to identify bets that have a higher probability of winning than what the lines suggest.

Leg 1: Zrinjski to win vs Rapid Vienna 

Best odds of 1/1 at SpreadEx while publishing.

Zrinjski are backed to claim victory at home against Rapid Vienna, where they have consistently shown strong defensive organisation and resilience in European competition. The Bosnian champions are particularly difficult to beat on their own turf and they have won 100% of the matches they have played at Stadion Bijeli Brijeg, scored seven goals and conceded just one.

On the other end, Rapid Vienna have struggled for any sort of consistency in the Conference League this season. With Zrinjski’s experience in managing tight continental fixtures and making home advantage count, a narrow but important win looks achievable. Vienna have also shipped in 8 goals in just two Away games this season.

Leg 2: Crystal Palace to win and under 3.5 goals vs KuPS

Best odds of 5/4 available at 10bet while publishing.

Crystal Palace have been in fine form, especially at Selhurst Park this season. Only the two Manchester Clubs have defeated the Eagles on thier home turf this season and given KuPS have not scored in their last two games, Palace should comfortably beat the Finnish side.

However, goals may be at a premium given Palace’s typically controlled and structured approach. The Premier League side are likely to prioritise game management rather than an all-out attacking display, especially against opponents who are expected to defend deep. Combining Palace to win with under 3.5 goals offers value by covering a professional, low-scoring home performance.

Leg 3: Samsunspor to win vs Mainz

Best odds of 3/1 at Betfred while publishing.

Samsunspor are tipped to secure a away win against Mainz, with the Turkish side enjoying a strong season built on consistent performances. While Mainz have struggled for results in the Bundesliga, their recent draw against Bayern Munich will provide a significant confidence boost heading into this clash.

However, Samsunspor’s physical style and attacking intent, particularly on home soil, make them well placed to exploit any lingering vulnerabilities in the Mainz setup. The Turkish side currently sit fifth in the table and have remained unbeaten so far, with their impressive league form giving them the edge in what promises to be a feisty encounter.

Tip 4: Sparta Prague to win to nil vs Aberdeen

Best odds of 1/1 available at BetVictor while publishing.

Sparta Prague are fancied to win without conceding against Aberdeen, underpinned by their outstanding defensive record at home and disciplined tactical setup. Across five home matches this season, including qualifiers, the Czech champions have conceded just twice while posting an impressive goal difference of +12.

Sparta are typically dominant on home soil, restricting opponents to very few clear chances, while Aberdeen have failed to score away from Pittodrie in European competition this year. With the Scottish side currently languishing in 32nd place in the table, a controlled Sparta performance featuring a clean sheet looks a strong angle for this selection.

The best odds for the above four-fold ACCA is 34/1 at 10bet. The odds offered are much higher than 15/1 available at Coral and 27/1 at Boyle Sports.
