Cody Gakpo Prop Bet Pick 1: Anytime Goalscorer @ +215
A lot of bettors browsing 2026 World Cup props will gravitate toward Memphis Depay, but the smarter play is on Gakpo anytime goalscorer given his hamstring management has limited Depay’s reps coming in.
Gakpo owns the highest xG/90 in the entire Dutch squad at 0.78, and he arrives off a brace against Uzbekistan averaging 2.8 shots per game over his last four matches.
He scored three goals in five matches at World Cup 2022 and has been the primary Dutch finisher ever since – +215 at Lucky Rebel is value we’re taking without hesitation.
Cody Gakpo Prop Bet Pick 2: Anytime Assist @ +400
Netherlands are expected to dominate possession against Japan on Sunday, and Gakpo’s 0.48 xA/90 in qualifying was the highest figure in the Dutch squad heading into this World Cup.
He created 10 big chances and averaged 1.4 key passes per 90 through qualifying, and his set-piece involvement adds consistent indirect assist equity on top of open-play creation.
Japan allowed over 14 shots to Spain at World Cup 2022 – volume that creates multiple assist pathways for Gakpo across 90 minutes at +400 Lucky Rebel pricing.
Cody Gakpo Prop Bet Pick 3: Over 2.5 Total Shots @ +230
We’re throwing in a longshot here for bettors who want upside on Gakpo’s shot volume rather than a goal or assist outcome specifically.
His club rate at Liverpool sits at 2.26 total shots per 90, and his Netherlands role as the primary attacker pushes that number higher in international play.
Check out our Netherlands vs Japan predictions and best bets for broader match context alongside these picks – if this game opens up as BTTS suggests, Gakpo’s shot volume at +230 carries real upside worth a small stake.
