Newcastle vs Bournemouth Bet Builder
Alexander Isak to Score
Alexander Isak is the man in form in the Premier League. The Swede has scored in his last seven league games, as well as scoring away at Arsenal in the EFL Cup semi-final first leg triumph.
The 25-year-old is closing in on the golden boot with 15 goals to his name already – only one goal behind Erling Haaland and three off Mo Salah.
Isak is averaging 0.87 goals per 90 from 3.38 shots per 90. He will be full of confidence heading into this game after a brace against Wolves midweek and looks tempting odds to score again in Saturday’s early kick off.
Ryan Christie To Be Booked
In Andoni Iraola’s high-pressing, high-intensity system, Ryan Christie is crucial. His energy and willingness to win the ball in advantageous areas makes him a key cog and a mainstay in the side.
The Scottish international has seen an upturn in his yellow card count – something the bookies have been slow to cotton on. Christie was booked against Chelsea after making five fouls, taking his tally to seven in eighteen starts, averaging 1.98 fouls and 0.42 yellows per 90.
An added caveat to this bet is the Newcastle midfield trio of Joelinton, Bruno Guimaraes and Sandro Tonali. In all competitions this season, 25 centre midfielders have been booked against Newcastle this season - including Ryan Christie in the return fixture.
Joelinton To Be Booked
Another player who was booked in the reverse fixture was Joelinton. The bustling Brazilian’s aggressive style of play is no secret. He has been booked seven times in 20 starts this season, averaging 2.20 fouls and 0.38 yellows per 90.
Like Newcastle, Bournemouth draw a lot of yellow cards from opposition central midfielders, with a whooping 21 booked against the Cherries this season.
Alexander Isak To Score, Ryan Christie To Be Booked and Joelinton to Be Booked is best price 33/1. You can back this bet builder on BetMGM or compare all prices below.
Leicester vs Fulham Bet Builder
Facundo Buonanotte Shot On Target
Facundo Buonanotte has been a shining light in a dismal season for the Foxes. The Argentine has eight goal contributions in 21 appearances this season and is averaging 0.48 goal contributions per 90.
The 20-year-old is a player who likes to take the game by the scruff of the neck, showing a willingness to attack whenever possible, averaging 1.94 shots and 0.81 shots on target per 90 in the Premier League, while scoring in the recent FA Cup tie over QPR.
Fulham To Win and Over 1.5 Goals
While Fulham were denied victory in an enthralling 3-2 loss at West Ham, they were unlucky, with the Hammers capitalising on defensive errors, scoring three of their four shots.
The Lilywhites have been strong this season and sit ninth in the Premier League. Marco Silva’s side have been potent in attack, scoring 32 goals in just 21 games.
They face a Leicester side low on confidence after a sixth straight Premier League loss midweek at home to Crystal Palace.
The Foxes have now conceded 46 goals in 21 games (the second most in the league), conceding at least two in their last eight games in all competitions and 11 of their last 12 – the exception the 3-1 win over West Ham in which the visitors accumulated 3.10 xG.
Ruud Van Nistelrooy has struggled in the Leicester dugout and things could turn toxic if Fulham score an early goal. Leicester have conceded at least two goals in 16/21 Premier League games, while Fulham have scored at least two in 11, including their last five in all competitions.
Boubakary Soumare To Be Booked
Boubakary Soumare has become a mainstay in Van Nistelrooy’s side, playing every minute of his tenure. The 25-year-old has been booked in 5/7 Premier League starts under the Dutchman and 8/10 starts this season. He is averaging 1.46 fouls per 90 and a whopping 0.78 yellow cards per 90 in the Premier League.
Facundo Buonanotte Shot On Target, Fulham To win, Over 1.5 Goals and Boubakary Soumare to Be Booked is best price 17/1. Back this bet builder on Unibet or compare all prices below.
West Ham vs Crystal Palace Bet Builder
Lucas Paqueta to Be Booked
Crystal Palace travel East to the London Stadium to face West Ham in a London Derby. The Hammers won their first league game under Graham Potter with a smash-and-grab 3-2 win over Fulham.
Lucas Paqueta was key in the victory, scoring the third and decisive goal. The Brazilian had endured a tough spell of form but looked back to his best midweek. He was also booked after 53 minutes for a late foul on Harry Wilson, making it six yellows from 17 starts, averaging 0.37 yellows and 1.72 fouls per 90.
Will Hughes To Be Booked
Will Hughes has transformed his Crystal Palace career in recent weeks, even captaining the side in the 2-1 victory over Southampton. The 29-year-old has been booked seven times in 13 games, averaging 0.54 yellows and 2.80 fouls per 90. 11 centre midfielders have been booked against West Ham this season, and Will Hughes could make it 12.
Lucas Paqueta and Will Hughes to be booked is best price 10/1. You can back this bet builder on bet365 or compare all prices below.
