💎 Gem Bet: Cole Palmer to have 1+ Shots on Target v PSG @ 1.73 (Paddy Power)

Cole Palmer looks like excellent value to register at least one shot on target in this final. The Chelsea attacker has been a consistent threat at the Club World Cup, taking 17 shots across his five starts in the competition - an average of 3.28 attempts per 90 minutes. Of these, five have found the target, meaning he's averaging just under one shot on target per game (0.97 per 90). These numbers suggest the price being offered represents genuine value for a player of Palmer's attacking output.  

While Palmer has experienced some inconsistency in recent months, he has repeatedly shown he thrives in high-pressure matches. His man-of-the-match performance in the Conference League final against Real Betis was a prime example, where he tested the goalkeeper twice. His record in finals is particularly impressive, having scored winning goals in both the Super Cup and U21 EURO final, proving he can deliver when it matters most. Also netting in the Euro 2024 final in a losing cause.

During the 24/25 Premier League season, Palmer demonstrated his ability to consistently hit the target, registering 51 shots on target across 37 appearances. This works out at 1.44 shots on target per 90 minutes, reinforcing his reliability as an attacking threat. Given his proven track record in big games and his current form at the Club World Cup, backing Palmer to test the goalkeeper at least once in this final appears to be a smart wager. 

There is decent value with this selection when backing with Paddy Power, the same bet is priced at 1.50 elsewhere on the market.
