Best Bets for Sunday 18 October

Eighteen previews are live for Sunday 18 October, from a Premier League card of four games to Serie A, La Liga, the Bundesliga, the Brasileirão and MLS. Five player bets stand out on our model, three on shots and two on fouls, and the first of them is a Leeds defender in the 2pm game at Elland Road. Prices were taken this morning and can move before kick-off.

Everything below comes from our Player Props board and the model's projections, and the rule holds: we only name a selection the model rates above its price. The hit rates quoted are match statistics for each player's last six games.

Leeds v Manchester United: Justin

James Justin 1+ shots at 8/15 with Ladbrokes and Coral is 73 percent against an implied 65, and he has done it in five of his last six games, with a high of three.

Leeds are 7th on 9 points and have the meanest defence in the Premier League at 0.83 goals a game, while Manchester United are 13th on 6 and average 5.33 shots on target a game, the 2nd most. Leeds v Manchester United is previewed here.

On the Daily Acca

Today's Daily Acca has two slips: an English double of Bournemouth and Manchester United at around 5/1, and a European four-fold of Udinese, Osasuna, Leverkusen and Lyon at around 10/1. Saturday's two five-folds both missed, the English one two legs short and the European one a leg short after Villarreal's 0-0 draw with Elche, so the season stands at 20 winners from 90 and +8.27pts.

How these picks work

Every price on the card is rated against our projection model. A bet makes this page only when the model puts it clearly above the chance the price implies and the player's recent games back it up. The hit rates quoted are match statistics, not settled bets. The full boards are on the Player Props page, and the Bet Builder Tips page builds the same reads into same-game slips.
