💎 Gem Bet: Lucas Zalarayan - Over 1.5 Shots @ 2.10 (bet365)

✅ bet365 - 2.10
Betfair - 1.85
SkyBet - 1.33
Paddy Power - 1.25

Last Thursday, Elliot Anderson made it 8 Gems from 8, and as international football wraps up before the return of elite domestic competition, I believe I’ve uncovered another to make it 9 straight winners, and this time in Ireland’s clash with Armenia on Tuesday night.

Lucas Zelarayán to take two or more shots is generously priced at 2.1 with bet365, while other major bookies have him as short as 1.25. That disparity alone screams value, and when you look at his output, it becomes even clearer.

Whether deployed on the wing or centrally, Zelarayán has registered two or more shots in six of his last seven internationals, averaging 3.2 shots per 90. The only miss in that stretch came against group leaders and world-ranked #5 Portugal. Notably, in the reverse fixture against Ireland, he hit the target with three attempts, highlighting his threat against this same opponent.

While Ireland may hold the higher ranking, they sit bottom of Group F with just a single point, struggling for form and direction. Armenia, on the other hand, enter knowing that three points could lift them into second place, with Hungary travelling to Portugal in the other group game, a perfect motivational backdrop.

With every reason for confidence to be high heading into this clash and their attack built around Zelarayán’s creativity and shooting prowess, I fully expect him to lead from the front. At 2.1, this price looks significantly misjudged and provides the perfect opportunity to push the Gem streak to 9 from 9 before domestic football returns.
