Both Brighton centre-backs were in a real battle with Erling Haaland last season. Van Hecke and Igor, who acted as the centre-back pairing in that game, were shown yellow cards.
Van Hecke is the type of player who will have no issues in engaging in physical duels with Erling Haaland, and I could see a real battle developing between the pair on Sunday afternoon. Van Hecke didn’t commit a foul against Everton last time out, but did lose the most duels in the game (8), where he was also up against a physical opponent in Thierno Barry.
Van Hecke committed 25 fouls across his 33 Premier League appearances last season (0.76 per 90), which is a far more attractive record than his centre-back partner in Lewis Dunk (0.40 per 90). This indicates that van Hecke is the more likely Brighton centre back to engage with Erling Haaland and also jump to meet the midfield players.
18+ please gamble responsibly.
