After a nice winner on Tuesday, our props column has a Bet Builder double for Villarreal’s trip to Young Boys on Wednesday with Alberto Moreno providing the value.
Young Boys v Villarreal
Wednesday 20 October, 20:00 kick-off
Live on BT Sport Extra
Mohamed Salah delivered a nice winner for us on Tuesday, and we’re staying with the Champions League but heading slightly under the radar for Wednesday’s best props bet.
There’s a Liverpool link involved as we look at Spanish side Villarreal’s trip to the Stadion Wankdorf in Switzerland to face Young Boys.
The Swiss side beat Man Utd of course and they’re two points above Villarreal as the Spaniards only have a point from two matches but can count themselves unfortunate from both matches – especially with that late, late Ronaldo winner at Man Utd.
Young Boys are unbeaten in their last three Champions League games at home while Villarreal’s loss at Old Trafford was their first European competition defeat for two-and-a-half years (17 games).
The Swiss side have been all or nothing in terms of the shots market that we’re so fond of here in this column, as they fired in 19 against Man Utd but then just three away at Atalanta – allowing the Italians to hit 13.
Assuming that Villarreal don’t play as poorly as United did in Bern, then Unai Emery’s side should be able to have a few strikes in on the Young Boys goal.
They’re main threats are priced accordingly, with Arnaut Danjuma particularly short to hit the target but well worth it given he averages over four shots per game and over one on target per 90 minutes.
Danjuma has also had multiple shots on target in four games this season – including four at Old Trafford which was the most by any player in the Champions League this season through the first two rounds. He’s well worth including in any Bet Builders on this game and he plays a part in ours.
Villarreal have a big goal threat in Gerard Moreno but it’s his namesake Alberto Moreno that is an interesting contender here as he often plays in an advanced role down the left but even from left-back he’s still capable of getting forward and having a crack.
Liverpool fans will know that he was always keen to let fly, and this season he’s had eight shots with four on target and averages a shot every 90 minutes.
He’s a big price of almost 2/1 just for one shot on target here and with the visitors set to have more of the ball but face a deeper defence then he’s well capable of trying his luck from range.
