Top Pick: Karamoko Dembele Under 0.5 Shots On Target

Milutin Osmajic to Score

Milutin Osmajic (Preston) has scored four goals in his past seven Championship away matches. We think there’s value in backing him for an Anytime Goalscorer prop bet at 4.80 which will hopefully see him find the net.

QPR Under 5.5 Corners

The 5.5 corners line has not been covered by QPR in five consecutive matches. There’s a price of 1.73 for this Team Corners bet and we think the QPR line is too big.
