After making the controversial move from Norwich to Ipswich in the summer, Nunez has been deployed in a more attacking role during his time at Portman Road. His exceptional passing range, along with his ability to break lines, is an instrumental asset for Ipswich in the final third.
It’s, therefore, no surprise that Nunez has racked up eight assists in the Championship this season. He’s currently going at 0.40 assists per 90. Taking into account his price of 4.33, it’s fair to speculate there’s an edge here.
The Ipswich man takes corners and free kicks, offering more opportunities to contribute creatively. With Stoke conceding 15 goals from set pieces this season, an average of one goal every 2.4 games, there’s the potential for Nunez to increase these numbers on Tuesday evening. Nunez ranks in the top 10 of the division for both chances created and xA (expected assists).
