Fulham average 5.82 corners per game this season, and they’ve hit the five corner mark in each of their last seven matches. In that stretch, they’ve racked up a total of 49 corners – an impressive average of seven per game.

Spurs, meanwhile, have shown some vulnerability in this department. They’ve conceded five or more corners in two of their last three matches, highlighting a defensive weakness when it comes to dealing with opposition pressure in wide areas. With Fulham’s attacking approach at home and their consistent corner numbers, backing them to hit at least five flag kicks looks a well-supported bet.

Calvin Bassey has been fouled in each of his last six starts, accumulating a total of 12 fouls during this run. Bassey has been fouled multiple times in four of those six games.

His physical presence and ball-carrying ability from defence make him a natural target for opposition pressure. Spurs’ aggressive pressing style increases the likelihood that Bassey will be fouled at least once in this game.

Since joining Spurs in January, Kevin Danso has shown his physicality and defensive aggression – which has led to a high foul count. Danso is averaging 1.31 fouls per game since arriving at Spurs and has committed seven fouls in his last four starts. He’s committed at least one foul in each of those matches.

Fulham, who average over 10 fouls won per game, are likely to test Danso’s defensive discipline with their direct attacking style. With Fulham’s high foul count and Danso’s aggressive approach, it’s highly likely that he will give away at least one foul in this game.

Fulham average 2.03 cards per game and they’ve received multiple bookings in four of their last five matches — accumulating 12 yellow cards during this period.

Spurs’ aggressive style also forces their opponents into fouls. Spurs’ opponents have picked up multiple cards in four of their last five matches, with a total of 11 cards handed out in those games. The intensity of this London derby, combined with Fulham’s recent disciplinary record, makes over 1.5 cards for Fulham a strong pick.

Djed Spence is averaging 1.81 fouls won per game and has been fouled at least twice in six of his last seven starts. Spence has won a total of 18 fouls in those seven games, averaging over 2.5 fouls won per game.

Facing Fulham in a competitive London derby will only increase the chances of Spence being targeted, odds of 2.10 for Spence to draw a couple of fouls looks generous.

Lucas Bergvall averages 1.77 fouls per 90 minutes this season, but that figure has increased with more game time. In his last eight appearances, Bergvall has committed 11 fouls, fouling in six of those matches.

With Fulham’s physical midfield and pressing style, Bergvall is likely to be under pressure throughout the game. His tendency to mistime challenges when under pressure makes this a strong selection in our second bet builder.
