Cozier-Duberry to cause chaos against old club

I remember watching Cozier-Duberry years ago in a reserve fixture that Blackburn played in and he was electric. His ability is reaching new heights every week and he’s in sensational form for ‘Boro.

Cozier-Duberry is left-footed, playing from the right. He’s capable of wonder goals and loves cutting in and letting fly.

This season he’s averaged a huge 4/65 shots per 90 minutes in the Championship this season. His 24 shots is the second highest in the squad behind Lankshear, who has played nearly double the minutes.

The winger racked up eight shots in his last match against Cardiff, with three on target.

Famewo will be the man tasked with stopping Cozier-Duberry. He hasn’t been a prolific foul-drawer so far this season, however he has drawn one in each of his last two and last season he drew 1.12 per 90 minutes and was the fourth most fouled player in Bolton’s squad.

As for Famewo, he was booked in his last outing and has averaged 1.19 fouls per 90 minutes so far this season.

He has committed a foul in all bar one game this season and the game he failed to do so was when he was substituted at half-time against QPR.

Sheehan is a very busy man in the middle of the park for Bolton. He has committed the most fouls in their squad this season (15) but is also their most fouled player (18).

Given how short his prices are to commit a foul, and the data actually being better for drawing them, this looks like a nice little price.

Sheehan has drawn an average of 1.65 fouls per 90 minutes and comes up against a ‘Boro midfield who average 2.35 fouls per 90 (Morris and Berhalter).

Sheehan has drawn at least one foul in 10 of his 11 Championship appearances this season.

‘Boro are the heavy favourites here and have averaged a huge 2.07 xG in the Championship this season.

They have immensely talented forward players at their disposal and could well cover this line on their own if they’re at their best.

‘Boro matches have averaged 3.45 goals, the second-highest in the division with 73% of their games having three or more goals, including four of their last five.

As for Bolton, their average sits at 3.00 per match and a 64% strike rate for over 2.5 goals.

They can definitely offer a threat. Their xG rises dramatically at home to 1.87, compared to 1.21 away.
