Nico O’Reilly is set to be a key part of the England setup this summer having just won Premier League YPOTY for his breakout season with Manchester City. 

I’m really interested to see how Thomas Tuchel makes the most of O’Reilly’s aerial ability this summer, he’s great at crashing the box and can act as an extra threat to pick out from corners and crosses, which looks like the direction Tuchel is taking this summer. 

O’Reilly scored nine goals across all competitions for Manchester City during the 25/26 campaign, which is a really solid contribution from left back. 

He’s pretty generously priced to get two shots away here against a New Zealand side that just conceded four goals against Haiti, suggesting that they are defensively vulnerable.

O’Reilly managed 41 shots during the Premier League season (1.39 per 90), which is a metric that can rise here when factoring in the calibre of England’s opponents. Tuchel’s side managed 11+ shots in all eight of their qualifying matches, managing 20+ shots in four of those games. 

There’s clear value here when taking this angle with bet365, the same selection is priced as low as 1.57 with other bookmakers.
