OLIVER NORWOOD lives up to the tag of too good for the level.
Stockport’s midfielder has had a hand in eight goals in League One this term which is 42% of his side's total and a G+A per 90 average of 0.62.
The majority of his goal contributions have come from set-pieces, his quality from them is just so consistently good and in Monday’s trip to Port Vale, it wouldn’t be a surprise to see dead ball situations make the difference.
Three of the Hatters last five league games have been settled by a single goal as have half of Vale’s six home league games.
Norwood is 3/1 to score or assist but at 17/2 TO SCORE ANYTIME and 13/2 1+ ASSIST it actually makes more sense to split the 1pt stake across the latter two plays as if either does click, the returns are higher.
The exact split is 0.44pts on Norwood to score and 0.56pts on the assist. It'll be profit if he does either, as he has in 62% of his league appearances this term.
This bet is also helped by the fact he is Stockport's penalty taker.

Real Betis vs Atletico Madrid

Abde Ezzalzouli is the most fouled player in La Liga drawing 3.8 per game.
Across his four league starts, Real Betis’ winger has drawn 17 fouls, including seven in one game and four in each of his last two.
Unsurprisingly, it is opposition right backs who are committing the majority of these fouls. Of the four right backs to face Ezzalzouli, three have COMMITTED both 2+ FOULS and 3+ FOULS.
MARCOS LLORENTE is expected to start at right back for Atletico Madrid and he has averaged 1.1 fouls a game. He’s hit the lowline of two fouls in a third of his league appearances this term and although he is yet to hit 3+, the angle is all about his direct opponent.
NATAN BERNARDO’s price TO BE CARDED also appeals here at 4/1 with Sky Bet. I wouldn't put anyone off the general price of 7/2 but it is worth noting one firm has it at 12/5.
Natan has three cards in nine league appearances this term and with a cards per 90 average of 0.22, he looks a touch big on Monday.
