Three juicy bet builders from Matthew O’Regan for Saturday’s Premier League football.
After being a whisker away from a 28/1 bet builder winner last week, Matthew O’Regan is back this weekend with audacious bet builders at 30/1 (Unibet), 19/2 (Unibet) and 85/1 (bet365).
Bournemouth vs Nottingham Forest Bet Builder
Elliot Anderson to be carded
Elliot Anderson has been a mainstay in the Nottingham Forest midfield since his summer arrival from Newcastle, with Eddie Howe’s side only selling him due to PSR concerns.
The 22-year-old has six goal contributions already, scoring his first goal in last weekend’s 3-2 win over Southampton. Anderson has mainly won plaudits for his defensive work, winning 2.63 tackles p90 and making 1.56 fouls 90.
However, this has also seen him in the referee’s notebook on numerous occasions, being booked five times in the Premier League – for an average of 0.32 per 90. After Joelinton’s yellow in the 1-4 win over Newcastle, 20 centre midfielders have been booked against Bournemouth this season.
Ryan Christie to be carded
Ryan Christie featured in last week’s article and makes a second consecutive appearance. The Scot is a key cog in Andoni Iraola’s side, starting 19 Premier League games.
Last week’s four fouls and yellows means he has now picked up eight yellows – an average of 0.45 per 90 from 2.09 fouls per 90, including three from his last four starts. 29 centre midfielders have been booked against Forest this season.
Justin Kluivert over 0.5 shots on target
Patrick Kluivert was a legend at St. James Park, but his son, Justin, proved unpopular on Saturday, scoring a hat trick en-route to an emphatic win. His three goals also meant that his run of shots on target continues, registering a SOT in 14 of his last 15 games.
Elliot Anderson to be carded, Ryan Christie to be carded and Justin Kluivert over 0.5 shots on target is a best price 30/1. You can back it on Unibet or compare all prices below.
Southampton vs Newcastle Bet Builder
Flynn Downes to be carded
Two of the three players with the most yellow cards in the Premier League this season feature in this bet builder. Flynn Downes was booked in Southampton’s 3-2 loss at Nottingham Forest, making it nine for the season – the most in the league.
The 26-year-old is averaging 2.32 fouls and 0.56 fouls per 90 – an increase on last season’s 1.41 fouls and 0.32 yellows per game. Last week’s yellow card made it four bookings from his last five. Against Newcastle, a mammoth 27 central midfielders have been booked.
Joelinton to be carded
While Southampton don’t draw as high numbers as Newcastle, they have still drawn a yellow card from 20 opposition midfielders. Joelinton was booked last weekend, taking his tally for the season up to eight. The bustling Brazilian powerhouse is averaging 2.19 fouls and 0.41 yellows per 90 this campaign.
Flynn Downes and Joelinton to be carded is a best price 19/2. You can back it on Unibet or compare all prices below.
Brighton vs Everton Bet Builder
Idrissa Gueye to be carded
Idrissa Gueye registered two assists in Everton’s 3-2 win over Tottenham. The Senegalese midfielder is renowned for his defensive tenacity, also making three tackles this game.
While his tally of four yellows in 18 starts is a decrease on his eight in 24 last season, the 35-year-old is not afraid to get stuck in, averaging 1.71 yellows per 90.
Brighton look to dominate games with driving power in midfield, with Carlos Baleba, Yasin Ayari and Joao Pedro all elite ball carriers expected to start, with the powerful Georginio Rutter off the bench.
After Manuel Ugarte was booked in Albion’s fantastic 1-3 win, 24 central midfielders have now been booked against the Seagulls this campaign.
Yasin Ayari to be carded
Ayari won plaudits for his performance in this win, with the Swede putting in his best performance in an Albion shirt.
The 21-year-old has been thrusted into first team action earlier than expected due to injuries but has flourished next to the physically dominant Carlos Baleba. While technically flawless, Ayari is also tough in the tackle, averaging 1.88 fouls and 0.23 yellows per 90. He will be tasked with dealing with the dangerous Iliman Ndiaye.
Yankuba Minteh to score
Yankuba Minteh has had a stop-start beginning to his Brighton career, with injuries preventing him from becoming a main stay. However, the Gambian has always impressed in cameos and registered a goal and an assist in an electric display at Old Trafford.
The 20-year-old now has three goals and two assists in seven starts, averaging 0.37 goals and 0.52 goal contributions per 90. In what should be a very attacking Brighton lineup, expect Minteh to be amongst the goals again as he looks to nail down a permanent place on the right side of the attack.
Idrissa Gueye & Yasin Ayari to be carded and Yankuba Minteh to score is a best price 85/1. You can back it on bet365 or compare all prices below.
