Tip 1: Jan Paul van Hecke - Over 0.5 Fouls - 1pt
Best odds of evens at Betway while publishing.
Jan Paul van Hecke is a combative presence in defence, and the stats back it up. He has exceeded 0.5 fouls in 8 of his last 10 games, showing a consistent willingness to engage in challenges. Given his role in breaking up opposition attacks and protecting the defensive structure, he looks likely to commit at least one foul in this fixture.
With EV Eagle's AI probability of 62% versus an implied probability of 50%, this represents a strong value play with an EV of 24%.
Tip 2: Ryan Gravenberch - Over 1.5 Tackles - 1pt
Best odds of 5/6 at bet365 while publishing.
Ryan Gravenberch has been dominant defensively, recording over 1.5 tackles in 6 of his last 10 games, including 4 of the last 5 and 3 of the last 4 Premier League matches. His ability to press, win back possession, and disrupt play makes him a prime candidate to rack up tackles again.
EV Eagle AI gives him a 67% chance, well above the implied probability of 55%, resulting in an EV of 22%.
Tip 3: Oliver McBurnie - Over 1.5 Shots - 1pt
Best odds of 17/20 at Coral while publishing.
Hull’s striker Oli McBurnie is a reliable offensive threat. He has taken more than 1.5 shots in 6 of his last 10 matches, including 5 of his last 7 games. This reflects his consistent role as the focal point of Hull’s attack and his tendency to get into scoring positions regularly. With an AI probability of 68% versus an implied 54%, this bet carries an EV of 27% and feels solid for this leg.
AK Bets
Tip 4: Alex Grimaldo - Over 1.5 Shots - 1pt
Best odds of 11/10 at Betway while publishing.
Grimaldo’s attacking instincts make him dangerous for a team that struggles defensively. He has exceeded 1.5 shots in 8 of his last 10 games, including 4 of his last 5. Frankfurt’s poor form at the back, conceding 14 goals in their last 5 matches across all competitions, gives him ample opportunity to push forward and get chances on goal.
With EV Eagle predicting a probability of 60% against an implied of 48%, this leg carries an EV of 25% and is backed by both form and fixture context.
Tip 5: Aaron Connolly - Anytime Goalscorer - 0.5pt
Best odds of 11/5 at bet365 while publishing.
Connolly has been reliable in front of goal, scoring in 6 of his last 10 matches and netting in 3 of his last 5 home games. His finishing ability in good positions makes him a credible anytime goalscorer, even against tough opposition. The AI estimates a 40% chance, higher than the implied probability of 31%, giving this leg a strong EV of 29%.
