Bournemouth’s attacking intent and set-piece efficiency have made them one of the Premier League’s most consistent corner-winning sides. Averaging 6.12 corners per game, they have maintained impressive numbers both at home and on the road, registering 6.08 corners per away game.

Importantly, they have hit the 4+ corner mark in 11 of 13 away games this season. Brighton, meanwhile, concede an average of 4.42 corners per game at home, with all but 4 of their visitors reaching at least 4 corners this term, a promising indicator for this selection.

The most aggressive side in the league, ranking 1st for fouls committed (13.7), rank 3rd in the league for cards accumulated too. With an average of 3.08 yellow cards per away game, Bournemouth have received 2+ yellow cards in 9 of their 13 away fixtures.

Given Brighton’s ability to draw cards from their opponents (3.08 per game at home), this trend is expected to continue. Every visiting team at the AmEx this season has picked up at least 2 bookings.

Rutter has been a constant menace in attacking midfield for Brighton, drawing significant defensive attention. Averaging 2.29 fouls won per 90 minutes, he has been fouled at least once in 15 of his 18 starts this season and twice or more in 9 of those appearances.

Bournemouth’s central midfielders have collectively committed 16 fouls across their last 4 matches, reinforcing the likelihood of Rutter being targeted here.

Bournemouth’s captain leads from the front, but his aggressive style often sees him on the wrong side of challenges. Averaging 1.59 fouls per game, Cook has recorded 2+ fouls in 5 of his last 7 matches.

Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma and Georginio Rutter are likely to test him here, with Cook once again expected to deputise at right-back for the Cherries.

Building on the previous Bournemouth corners selection, this market offers even greater value. Their away average of 6.08 corners per game ranks them 4th in the league, and they have hit 5+ corners in 8 of 13 away fixtures.

While just half of Brighton’s visitors have managed to reach this threshold, Bournemouth’s offensive drive and reliance on set-pieces could push them over the line, especially as they seek a return to form in their pursuit of European football.

With Bournemouth already backed for 2+ cards, an additional booking is well within reason.

The Cherries have received 3+ cards in 9 of 13 away games, while Brighton’s ability to draw fouls has led to 8 of 12 visiting teams at the AmEx collecting at least 3 yellow cards. Odds of 1.80 represent good value here.

Brighton’s Japanese star has been in outstanding form, showcasing his clinical edge despite a relatively low shot output (1.59 shots per game). Mitoma has already scored 8 goals this season, but his recent hot streak is even more impressive, netting in his last 3 consecutive matches and in 5 of his last 7 starts.

His record against Bournemouth is equally noteworthy, having scored 4 goals and provided 1 assist in 4 previous encounters with the Cherries.

Semenyo has been a revelation for Bournemouth this season, already surpassing last year’s goal tally with 9 goals to his name. However, his aggressive style of play means he is just as likely to find himself in the referee’s book.

The Ghanaian forward leads Bournemouth for fouls committed per game and has received 7 yellow cards this season, including one in the reverse fixture against Brighton. Whether through scoring or being penalised, he remains central to the action.
