Charalampos Kostoulas has been spearheading the Brighton attack in recent weeks and looks a strong candidate to find the target against Coventry.

The Greek youngster has already produced 6 attempts across his three Premier League appearances this season, including 3 efforts in last week’s 1-1 draw with Leeds. 

He managed 2 shots after coming off the bench against Aston Villa on the opening weekend, underlining his eagerness to pull the trigger. 

Kostoulas was even more active across Brighton’s Europa Conference League play-off tie with Tromso, racking up 10 attempts over both legs. 

With bottom-of-the-table Coventry losing the shot count in 2 of their opening 3 league matches of the season, the Brighton striker should have ample opportunity to register an effort on target.

Diego Gomez is no stranger to catching the referee’s attention and looks a strong option to commit at least two fouls against Coventry on Sunday. 

The combative midfielder has been penalised twice in each of Brighton’s last two top-flight matches, continuing a trend that saw him average 2.06 fouls per game in the Premier League last season. 

Gomez also committed at least 1 offence in all four of Paraguay’s matches at the World Cup earlier this summer. 

His defensive responsibilities could bring him into direct contact with Ephron Mason-Clark on Sunday. 

The Coventry winger has drawn 3 fouls across his two Premier League appearances this season, including 1 away at Manchester City last weekend, strengthening the case for Gomez to fall foul of the referee at least twice.

Taiwo Awoniyi is another player worth targeting in the foul markets when Coventry face Brighton on Sunday.

The powerful striker has committed exactly 1 foul in each of his last three starts, with two of those coming in the Premier League and the other in Coventry’s EFL Cup victory at Plymouth. 

Adding to the appeal is the fact that Awoniyi averaged 1.87 fouls per game in the Premier League last season, although that figure came from a limited number of appearances during an injury-hit campaign. 

He is likely to get involved in physical battles with Brighton centre-backs Lewis Dunk and Luka Vuskovic on Sunday.

The Seagulls duo have drawn 4 fouls between them across their three top-flight outings this term, which adds weight to the case for Awoniyi to overstep the mark at least once.

Jack Rudoni holds plenty of appeal to register at least one shot when Coventry face Brighton on Sunday. 

The attacking midfielder averaged 2.34 attempts per game during the Sky Blues’ promotion campaign last season, highlighting his willingness to get shots away.

That tendency has carried into the Premier League, with Rudoni pulling the trigger once in each of his 3 appearances so far. 

He registered an attempt despite featuring for just 20 minutes as a substitute against Arsenal on the opening night of the season, before also letting fly in subsequent starts against Hull and Manchester City.  

Brighton’s front-foot approach should make for an open contest, giving Rudoni plenty of opportunities to register a shot for the fourth Premier League game running. 

The Brighton midfielder is often in the thick of the action in the middle of the park, which regularly results in him earning free kicks for his side. 

Indeed, Ayari has been fouled in both of his Premier League appearances this season, while he was also brought down in the away leg of Brighton’s Europa Conference League play-off tie at Tromso. 

His knack for drawing fouls was also on display for Sweden at the World Cup earlier this summer, where he was upended in all four of his appearances and 8 times in total. 

Ayari is likely to cross paths with Frank Onyeka on Sunday. 

The Coventry midfielder has already committed 4 fouls across his two Premier League appearances this season, which bodes well for this selection. 

Brighton have long been one of the Premier League’s most entertaining teams, and that trend has continued during the early stages of the new season. 

Over 2.5 goals therefore looks worth backing when Fabian Hurzeler’s side travel to Coventry on Sunday. 

Two of the Seagulls’ opening three league games have cleared this line, including a thrilling 4-3 defeat at Chelsea on their only road trip so far. 

Notably, Brighton have scored at least 3 goals in two of their three Premier League matches this season, as well as in their Europa Conference League play-off victory at home to Tromso. 

Coventry are still searching for their first points and goal of the Premier League season, although there were encouraging attacking signs when they registered 12 shots and an xG of 1.37 at Manchester City last weekend. 

While the Sky Blues also drew a blank at home to Hull, Brighton’s front-foot approach should make for a more open contest here and increase the chances of this game breaking the over 2.5 goal barrier.

Brighton games are always worth a look in the cards market, with over 3.5 appealing for Sunday’s clash with Coventry. 

Fabian Hurzeler’s side were the most ill-disciplined team in the Premier League last season, with their aggressive press often leading to fouls and cards. 

That pattern has continued this term, as each of Brighton’s opening 3 league matches has produced at least 4 cards. 

Two of those contests delivered 6 bookings, while a red was also shown in one of them. 

Further encouragement comes from Coventry’s opening Premier League home game, with 5 cards handed out during their 1-0 defeat to Hull.

Tony Harrington may not be among the division’s most card-happy referees, but his historical Premier League average stands at just under 4 yellows per game, while he dished out exactly 4 bookings in his only top-flight assignment this season.
