Cantwell is more often than not the player being fouled rather than the one doing the fouling, but we can still be confident of him being penalised by the referee at least once here.

He averages 1.5 fouls per 90 this term, with 8 fouls across his last 4 starts, and at least 1 in each of these matches.

The left sided defender has committed 1 or more foul in his last 4 starts, committing 7 in total across those 4 games.

He is likely to be up against Tyrhys Dolan, a tricky wide man who draws 1.6 fouls per 90, and may also have Cantwell drifting out into his vicinity.

The right-back has the same foul record as Hughes above, 7 across his last 4 starts and at least 1 fouls in all those 4.

He will be in opposition to Kaine Kesler-Hayden, who has drawn 1 or more fouls from his opponent in 4 of his last 5 starts, and on average throughout the season, Kesler-Hayden wins a notable 1.7 fouls per 90.

Batth is another one who has committed 7 fouls, this time across his last 5 starts, with at least on foul in 4 of the 5 fixtures.

Milutin Osmajic will be a difficult customer to handle, and we think the most likely goalscorer on the pitch, so Batth will have his hands full trying to keep tabs on him. Osmajic is drawing fouls at a rate of 1.5 per 90 this season.

Gueye is likely to lead the line for Rovers in this game, with Ohashi, who he has shared the minutes with for much of the season, out injured.

He has covered this bet in 12 of his 13 starts in the Championship this season, with his clumsy style catching the eye of referees. Gueye averages a huge 3.1 fouls per 90, making this selection an attractive addition.

With Gueye committing such a high number of fouls per game, it is a surprise that he is one of the longest prices to pick up a card, especially given that only John Buckley has a higher card per 90 ratio than Gueye for Blackburn this season – at 0.47 per 90.

Gueye has 7 yellow cards to his name in the Championship this season, a total matched by Lewis Travis and Tyrhys Dolan, but not beaten by any other Rovers player. Gueye has also been sent off once in the league this term.

Whilst Hughes only averages 1.4 fouls per 90 in the Championship this season, we do feel that he is a player who gets drawn into the atmosphere of these derby games.

This clash saw a huge 11 cards in the reverse fixture, with Hughes making 2 fouls and being carded in the match. He is also likely to be up against a tricky customer in Dolan here, as referenced in bet builder 1, and looks a nice price at 2.0 to commit a couple of fouls.

Hughes has committed 8 fouls in his last 4 matches, with multiple fouls in 3 of these outings.

As per the last leg of the builder, Hughes was carded in the reverse fixture of this one, he was also carded in Preston’s other derby game against Burnley.

He has picked up 5 yellow cards this season and as identified above, has been persistently fouling of late. Odds of 5.50 represent excellent value for Hughes to go in the book here.
