The EV Eagle has five betting tips for Thursday's World Cup action, including two anytime goalscorer shouts.
The final round of World Cup group-stage fixtures continues on Thursday, with qualification pressure creating some strong player prop angles across Groups D, E and F.
The EV Eagle has picked out five selections, including anytime goalscorer bets for Amad Diallo and Deniz Undav, a card angle on Moises Caicedo and two shots props in Cody Gakpo and Diego Gomez.
Amad Diallo Anytime Goalscorer vs Curacao
Best Odds: 6/4 (AK Bets)
Stake: 1pt
Amad Diallo looks a lively anytime goalscorer option for Ivory Coast’s decisive Group E clash with Curacao. The Manchester United winger has scored four goals across his past seven competitive matches, including the late winner against Ecuador on matchday one, so he arrives with clear confidence in front of goal.
Ivory Coast need a positive result to secure their place in the knockout stage, which should encourage them to be proactive against a Curacao side that has already spent long spells under pressure in this group.
With Amad offering direct running, sharp movement from wide areas and a proven ability to arrive in scoring positions, the 6/4 available looks a fair price for him to find the net.
Deniz Undav Anytime Goalscorer vs Ecuador
Odds: 7/4 (Sky Bet & bet365)
Stake: 1pt
Deniz Undav looks a strong anytime goalscorer angle for Germany’s Group E clash with Ecuador, even if his role again comes from the bench. The Stuttgart forward has been one of the standout impact players of the tournament, registering three goals and two assists across Germany’s first two matches.
Germany have already qualified, but Julian Nagelsmann’s side are still expected to maintain momentum rather than easing off, which should keep their attacking level high. Ecuador need a win to have any chance of progressing, so the game state could open up and leave space for Germany’s forwards late on.
At 7/4, Undav appeals as a finisher in form who has already shown he does not need a full 90 minutes to make his mark.
Moises Caicedo To Be Shown A Card vs Germany
Odds: 5/2 (SpreadEx / Sporting Index)
Stake: 1pt
Moises Caicedo looks a strong card angle for Ecuador’s must-win Group E clash with Germany. Ecuador need three points to keep their knockout hopes alive, which should force them into a high-intensity, combative performance against a Germany side still expected to maintain their attacking rhythm.
Caicedo’s role at the base of midfield naturally puts him in the firing line for tactical fouls, especially against Germany’s quick combinations and runners between the lines. His disciplinary profile also supports the bet, having collected 11 yellow cards and one red for Chelsea in the 2025/26 Premier League season.
At 5/2, the price looks big enough for a player likely to be central to Ecuador’s attempts to disrupt Germany’s control.
Cody Gakpo Over 3.5 Shots vs Tunisia
Odds: 10/11 (William Hill)
Stake: 1pt
Super Sub or similar feature advised
Cody Gakpo looks a strong volume-shooting option for the Netherlands’ final Group F match against Tunisia. The Liverpool forward arrives in excellent confidence after scoring twice in the 5-1 win over Sweden, and he should again be one of the Dutch players most likely to cut inside and get efforts away.
Tunisia have struggled badly in the group, conceding heavily against both Sweden and Japan, so the Netherlands should be able to sustain pressure for long spells.
The Super Sub or similar feature is worth taking where available in case there is any rotation risk, making 10/11 a fair price for Gakpo to register at least four shots.
Diego Gomez Over 1.5 Shots vs Australia
Odds: 11/10 (Coral / Ladbrokes)
Stake: 1pt
Diego Gomez looks an appealing shots angle for Paraguay’s crucial Group D meeting with Australia. Paraguay need a positive result to strengthen their qualification hopes, and with Miguel Almiron suspended, Gomez may have to take on even more attacking responsibility from midfield.
His route to this line is clear, with the Brighton midfielder capable of arriving around the box, shooting from distance and driving forward in transition.
Australia only need a draw to progress, but if they defend territory for long spells, Gomez should have enough opportunities to register the two attempts required.
At 11/10, Over 1.5 Shots looks a fair price for one of Paraguay’s main creative and shooting outlets.
