EV Eagle selects five top betting angles for Saturday's final round of Group Stage fixtures.
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.
TIP 1: Nico O'Reilly - Over 0.5 Shots On Target - 1pt
Best odds of 11/10 at bet365 while publishing.
Odds Implied: 47% | AI Probability: 49% | Expected Value: 3%
O'Reilly has averaged 0.78 shots on target per game across his last 15 starts, showing he regularly tests the goalkeeper when given consistent minutes. Against a Panama side expected to defend deep, England should dominate possession, allowing the Manchester City youngster to make late runs into the box and take advantage of shooting opportunities from the edge of the area.
TIP 2: Antoine Semenyo - Over 0.5 Shots On Target - 1pt
Best odds available of 15/13 at Unibet while publishing.
Odds Implied: 46% | AI Probability: 49% | Expected Value: 5%
Semenyo has recorded at least one shot on target in four of his last six games (0,0,1,1,1,1). Although he is yet to hit the target regularly at this World Cup, his direct running and willingness to drive at defenders make him Ghana's biggest attacking threat. Croatia's backline should give him opportunities to test the goalkeeper if he continues to attack with confidence.

TIP 3: Cristiano Ronaldo - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt
Best odds available of 5/4 at AK Bets while publishing.
Odds Implied: 44% | AI Probability: 51% | Expected Value: 16%
Ronaldo has rediscovered his scoring touch with eight goals in his last 10 starts for Portugal, including a brace in the previous World Cup match. Portugal will be aiming to finish top of Group K after dropping points against DR Congo, and with Bruno Fernandes, Vitinha and Nuno Mendes supplying chances, Ronaldo is well placed to add another goal to his tally.
Tip 4: Nicolas Tagliafico - Over 0.5 Shots - 1pt
Best odds of 4/5 at Coral while publishing.
Odds Implied: 56% | AI Probability: 67% | Expected Value: 21%
Tagliafico has registered a shot in four of his last six matches (0,0,1,1,1,1) and averages 0.82 shots per game across his last 15 starts. Jordan have already conceded 28 shots in two World Cup matches, suggesting Argentina's full-backs will enjoy plenty of attacking freedom. One effort from Tagliafico looks a realistic expectation.
TIP 5: Ibrahim Maza - Over 0.5 Shots On Target - 1pt
Best odds of 23/20 at Sporting Index while publishing.
Odds Implied: 46% | AI Probability: 49% | Expected Value: 5%
Maza has hit this line in four of his last seven matches, while his last five starts have produced 1, 2, 0, 4 and 2 shots on target. The Bayer Leverkusen midfielder is growing in confidence and frequently arrives in dangerous shooting positions. Against a defence that has struggled to contain attacking midfielders, he has every chance of forcing at least one save.
