Here at Pickswise we have put together a list of all of the day’s best odds boosts, which are available from PointsBet Sportsbook. We will also discuss whether or not they are worth playing. Let’s dive in.
Harry Kane to score first – Boosted from +330 to +400 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need Harry Kane to score first in England’s second Group Stage game against the USA. The talk from the England camp was that Kane might be unable to play in this match due to injury, however; that does not seem to be the case. Against Iran, Kane recorded 2 assists, but he may find himself in better scoring chances this afternoon against the USA. England’s attack has already proven they are lethal, beating Iran 6-2 in their first game, and a win seems to be the likely result here as well. With so many attacking options, it is likely Kane will find chances, and even though he will need to be the first scorer in the game, backing this prop looks to be worth a lean.

Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo both to score – Boosted from +600 to +700 with PointsBet Sportsbook
For this prop, we will need both Memphis Depay and Cody Gakpo to score against Ecuador. The Netherlands were able to pick up a win against Senegal, but needed late goals in the 84th and 90th+9 minute to grab all 3 points. Gakpo was one of the goal scorers, but Depay did not score. This match is likely to be much tougher and our experts even like the under 2.5 goals. Asking both of these players to score feels like a reach, therefore avoiding this prop looks to be the best option.

USA to win or draw and over 2.5 total goals – Boosted from +425 to +450 with PointsBet Sportsbook
This prop will need the USA to win or draw against England and there will need to be over 2.5 total goals in the match. England crushed Iran in their first match by a score of 6-2, while the USA were forced to settle with a draw against Wales after conceding a penalty in the final 10 minutes. This English side looks locked in at the moment, and do not appear ready to lose or even draw against the USA. The USA attack is likely going to have issues breaking down the England defense, while the USA defense will have an even tougher time keeping England out of the net. As exciting as a USA would be, the best option here looks to be avoiding this prop because the USA personnel just does not match up with the quality that England has.
