Level 1 Bet Builder Tip
🎯 Ismaila Sarr to have 1+ Shots on Target 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.44
Sarr’s average of 1.44 shots on goal per 90 minutes ranks 1st amongst Palace players (who have played 2+ 90s). He’s tested the keeper at least once in 9 of his 13 league starts, including in 4 of the last 5, racking up an impressive 8 shots on goal over this period.
Crucially, he’s also been the most efficient of all Palace players in this market, with 59.4% of his shots being on target this season, significantly implying that he’s likely to test the keeper regardless of how many chances he gets.
That said, Leicester are unlikely to reduce his opportunities to a minimum as evidenced by their average of 6.0 shots on target conceded per game.
🛑 Boubakary Soumare to Commit 1+ Fouls 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.30
Averaging 1.40 fouls committed per 90, Soumare has been a reliable contender in the market and has demonstrated impressive fouling consistency.
Soumare has sinned at least once in each of his last 6 starts for Crystal Palace, which just so happen to be his only 6 starts as a defensive midfielder, rather than operating further forward as he previously did. Across those 6 games, Soumare has picked up 5 yellow cards, contributing to a season total of 8 – the most of any player in the league, and an average of one every 105 minutes.
Soumare is likely to have a particularly tough time on Wednesday, coming face-to-face with Ismaila Sarr who’s averaging 2.11 fouls drawn per 90 – the most of any Palace player.
🛑 Jordan Ayew to Commit 1+ Fouls 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.33
Very few players can rival Jordan Ayew’s impressive average of 1.88 fouls per 90 minutes.
The Ghanaian international has sinned at least once in 9 of his 10 starts, slipping up 16 times in total in those matches despite coming off early in all bar 2. Take Ayew to sin once more here.
🛑 Bilal El Khannouss to Commit 1+ Fouls 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.40
No Leicester player tops El Khannouss’ average of 2.02 fouls per 90 minutes this season, committing at least 1 foul in all 7 league appearances lasting 65 minutes or more.
The Moroccan attacking midfielder has seemingly particularly struggled in his last 2 games, sinning twice against Aston Villa and 3 times against Man City.
He’ll face a similar test on Wednesday, tasked with containing Lerma and Doucoure, Crystal Palace’s two defensive midfielders. The pair have averaged 1.80 and 1.43 fouls drawn per 90 this season.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip
🛑 Trevoh Chalobah to Commit 1+ Fouls 🔄
📈 Odds: 1.91
Bizarrely priced as the second-least likely player to commit a foul, Chalobah represents significant value in the market. He’s committed at least 1 foul in 10 of his 14 league appearances this season, including each of the last 3.
It remains to be seen if Vardy or Daka will lead the line for Leicester but the latter has averaged 2.08 fouls drawn per 90 and even if he doesn’t start, he’ll most certainly come on at some point to terrorise the Palace backline.
🧤 Leicester GK to make 4+ Saves
📈 Odds: 2.0
It’s no secret that Leicester’s defence has been leaky at best, and we seemingly now have enough evidence to suggest Van Nistelrooy’s appointment is unlikely to patch it up anytime soon.
Their keeper has been forced into making 4 or more saves in half of their league clashes, averaging 3.90 per game. Perhaps even more telling is the 6.0 shots on target they concede per game on average.
Crystal Palace have been offensively strong this season, forcing their opponents into making an average of 3.8 saves per 90. This selection has been a winner in 60% of their league games including each of the last 4, over which period they’ve averaged 5.25 saves forced.
🚩 Crystal Palace Most Corners
📈 Odds: 1.67
Crystal Palace have averaged 5.10 corners per game this season, ranking 10th in the league according to this metric. They particularly excel in this metric in easier games, with their average rising to 7.50 in games they’ve won – a promising indicator given how poor Leicester have been this season.
Only Wolves have racked up fewer corners than Leicester this season, averaging a mere 3.35 per game. Across their last 3 matches, they’ve accumulated no more than 7 corners in total. This is in stark contrast to the number they concede – 6.80 per game, over double that which they take.
🩹 Jefferson Lerma to be Fouled 2+ Times 🔄
📈 Odds: 3.30
Averaging 1.80 fouls drawn per 90 minutes, it’s a wonder you can find Lerma in this price range to be fouled twice. It’s an accomplishment he’s managed on 6 occasions this season including each of his most recent 2 appearances v Stockport and Chelsea, despite playing just 11 games (over 45 minutes).
He will likely be up against Soumare and El Khannouss, who are averaging 1.40 and 2.02 fouls committed per game respectively.
