Four of the EV Eagle's previous six bets have won, check out their five bets for today's action.
The World Cup knockout stage continues on Wednesday with three Round of 32 ties, as England face DR Congo, Belgium meet Senegal and co-hosts USA take on Bosnia and Herzegovina.
EV Eagle has picked out five player props for the slate, including Folarin Balogun to score for the USA, Ismaila Sarr to score or assist for Senegal and Declan Rice to be involved in a goal for England.
Ismaila Sarr To Score Or Assist vs Belgium
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 2/1 (Paddy Power)
Ismaila Sarr looks a strong goal-involvement angle for Senegal’s Round of 32 clash with Belgium. The Crystal Palace forward has been one of Senegal’s biggest attacking threats at the tournament, having been directly involved in four goals across the competition so far.
Belgium are favourites, but Senegal’s best route into the game is likely to come through pace and direct running in transition, where Sarr can attack space alongside Sadio Mane and Iliman Ndiaye.
The score or assist market gives us two routes to a return, and at 2/1, Sarr looks a fair price to be involved if Senegal do trouble Belgium.
Declan Rice To Score Or Assist vs DR Congo
Advised Stake: 0.75pts
Best odds: 23/10 (Virgin Bet)
Declan Rice looks a strong goal-involvement option for England’s Round of 32 clash with DR Congo. The Arsenal midfielder should return to the starting XI, and his set-piece role gives him a clear route to an assist in a game England are expected to control territorially. E
ngland have already been dangerous from dead-ball situations at this World Cup, with Rice central to their corner and free-kick threat alongside Bukayo Saka. DR Congo have shown resilience and counterattacking quality, but they are likely to spend long spells defending their box against one of the tournament favourites.
At 23/10, Rice to score or assist appeals at a 0.75pt stake because he can land the bet through set-piece delivery, second balls around the area or a late run from midfield.
Folarin Balogun Anytime Goalscorer vs Bosnia
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 6/5 (bet365 - Super Sub advised)
Folarin Balogun looks a strong anytime goalscorer option for the USA’s Round of 32 clash with Bosnia. The Monaco striker has been one of the standout American attackers at the tournament, scoring twice against Paraguay in the group stage.
With Christian Pulisic fit to start again, Balogun should benefit from improved service and more quality around him in the final third. Bosnia are well-organised and have already shown they can compete at this level, but the USA should carry plenty of attacking threat on home soil.
At 6/5, Balogun appeals as the most obvious finisher in a side that has already shown it can create chances against strong opposition.
Idrissa Gana Gueye Over 0.5 Shots vs Belgium
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 1/1 (bet365)
Idrissa Gana Gueye looks a solid low-line shots option for Senegal’s Round of 32 tie against Belgium. The veteran midfielder has registered at least one shot in three of his last four competitive internationals, showing he is capable of getting an effort away even from a deeper role.
Belgium are likely to dominate possession for spells, but Senegal’s best moments should come through quick transitions, set-piece second balls and midfield runners supporting attacks. Gueye’s role in keeping Senegal connected through midfield gives him a route to arriving on the edge of the box or picking up loose clearances.
At evens, Over 0.5 Shots looks a fair price for a player who only needs one speculative attempt to land the bet.
Yoane Wissa Over 1.5 Shots vs England
Advised Stake: 1pt
Best odds: 1/1 (Coral / Ladbrokes)
Yoane Wissa looks the clearest DR Congo shots angle for their Round of 32 meeting with England. The forward has already landed Over 1.5 Shots in two of his three World Cup appearances, and he arrives with confidence after scoring twice in the 3-1 win over Uzbekistan.
England are expected to dominate possession, but that could actually suit Wissa’s route to this bet, with DR Congo likely to look for him early in transition when they win the ball back. He should be the main outlet whenever Sebastien Desabre’s side break forward, and he only needs two attempts to cash.
At evens, Wissa Over 1.5 Shots looks a fair price for a player carrying DR Congo’s biggest goal threat.
