After picking 4/5 winners yesterday, EV Eagle is back with five more betting tips for Friday's World Cup 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.
TIP 1: Lamine Yamal - Over 1.5 Shots On Target - 1pt
Best odds of 11/10 at 10bet while publishing.
Odds Implied: 48% | AI Probability: 51% | Expected Value: 8%
Lamine Yamal continues to establish himself as Spain's most dangerous attacking outlet, and backing him to register over 1.5 shots on target looks well supported by recent form. His shots-on-target numbers in his last seven starts for Spain read 0, 0, 1, 3, 2, 2 and 2, while across his last five starts in all competitions they stand at 0, 2, 1, 2 and 2.
Once Yamal gets into his rhythm, he becomes incredibly difficult to contain, constantly driving at defenders and looking to test the goalkeeper. With Spain chasing a place in a blockbuster quarter-final against Portugal, expect their teenage superstar to shoulder much of the attacking responsibility.
TIP 2: Mikel Oyarzabal - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt
Best odds of 11/10 at AK Bets while publishing.
Odds Implied: 50% | AI Probability: 51% | Expected Value: 7%
Mikel Oyarzabal has quietly become one of Spain's most reliable goalscorers. He is averaging 1.1 goals per game across his last 17 appearances for the national team and has found the net in seven of his last 10 matches. His recent scoring record is equally impressive, with goal totals of 0, 2, 0, 1 and 2 in his last five outings for Spain.
Whether making clever runs into the box or finishing chances with either foot, Oyarzabal consistently finds himself in dangerous positions. If Spain create the volume of opportunities expected, he looks well placed to add to his outstanding international record.
TIP 3: Cristiano Ronaldo - Anytime Goalscorer - 1pt
Best odds of EVENS at AK Bets while publishing.
Odds Implied: 50% | AI Probability: 51% | Expected Value: 7%
Cristiano Ronaldo remains Portugal's biggest goalscoring threat despite entering the latter stages of his legendary career. He has scored in six of his last 10 competitive appearances for Portugal, netting nine goals during that period.
While Portugal have yet to fully convince at this World Cup, they possess the quality and experience to make a deep run, and Ronaldo remains the player they turn to in decisive moments. Whether from open play, set pieces or the penalty spot, few players are as clinical when opportunities arise, making him a strong candidate to find the scoresheet once again.
TIP 4: Ibrahim Maza - Over 0.5 Shots On Target - 1pt
Best odds of 23/20 at 10bet while publishing.
Odds Implied: 47% | AI Probability: 49% | Expected Value: 4%
Ibrahim Maza has developed into one of Algeria's most consistent attacking threats, and backing him to register at least one shot on target is supported by both his recent form and underlying numbers. He has cleared this line in five of his last eight competitive appearances for Algeria and averages 0.8 shots on target per game across his last 10 internationals.
AI projections also expect him to record 0.7 shots on target in this fixture. With Maza regularly looking to shoot from the edge of the box and arriving in dangerous attacking positions, he has every chance of testing the Swiss goalkeeper.
TIP 5: Switzerland - Win Market - 1pt
Best odds of 11/10 at AK Bets while publishing.
Odds Implied: 48% | AI Probability: 53% | Expected Value: 11%
Switzerland enter this Round of 32 clash in solid form, having won three of their last five matches while remaining unbeaten across that stretch. They have also scored two or more goals in each of their last two games, showing growing confidence in the final third.
Algeria have proven they can be dangerous going forward, but defensive vulnerabilities remain after conceding two or more goals in two of their three World Cup group matches. With Switzerland carrying stronger momentum and looking increasingly clinical in attack, they appear well placed to edge what should be an entertaining and open contest.
