Below we’ve compiled a list of the best player prop bets for Saturday. Each selection can be added to the ABC betslip to create your own cross-match bet builder.
“El Khannouss’ average of 1.64 fouls per 90 minutes implies a lot of value and given the run he’s on, it’s a surprise to see him priced as generously as this to sin just once.
The Moroccan midfielder has been penalised once or more in 8 of his 9 appearances lasting over 65 minutes racking up 17 fouls in those games. Equally, he slipped up twice in each of his last 2 games.
Thomas Partey, who averages over a foul drawn per game, will be his most direct opponent although Lewis-Skelly inverting into the midfield is perhaps a more probable factor to get this selection over the line.”
“Soumare is averaging 1.43 fouls per 90 minutes in the league, with this figure significantly increasing in recent matches.
Soumare has slipped up at least once in 9 of his last 10 league appearances, only failing to do so as Leicester dispatched Tottenham with reasonable comfort. He seems to have taken this up an extra notch, sinning twice or more in 4 of his last 6 including committing 3 fouls last time out against Everton.
On paper, Soumare will come face-to-face with Martin Odegaard although if Nwaneri starts out wide, he tends to drift inside and often becomes more of an issue for the left-sided defensive midfielder than the left back. This combination tends to trouble defences and is highly likely to pull Soumare out of his comfort zone.”
“Ayew is a very reckless player, he regularly ranks high in both foul metrics and has committed at least 1 foul in 4 of his last 5 Premier League matches.
Ayew has committed 26 fouls across his 22 Premier League appearances this season, just 13 of these games have been starts, taking his average to 1.96 fouls committed per 90 this term.
He’ll be up against Myles Lewis-Skelly who has shown real promise in the early stages of his Arsenal career, particularly when it comes to winning fouls. Lewis-Skelly has won 18 fouls across his 10 Premier League appearances this season (2.93 per 90).”
“January addition Marcus Browne has slowly been drip fed minutes for AFC Wimbledon in recent matches. He started last weekend’s 3-0 win versus Crewe and put in a performance that should see him keep his starting berth for this weekend’s match with Salford.
Since signing for AFC Wimbledon, Browne has featured in 6 matches – minutes played in those games read 31-24-77-26-33-75. He has wasted no time getting shots away in his time spent on the pitch – his shot numbers read 0-1-3-3-3-5.
In just 266 minutes of football, Browne has taken 15 shots with a 33% on target ratio for an xG of 1.34. The only things missing from his early AFC Wimbledon CV is a goal.
It won’t be long before Browne breaks his duck. He has previous for scoring goals from midfield at a standard higher than League Two. He has 2 5+ goal League One seasons with Oxford on his CV.
This is the first time Browne has played in League Two – his career stats in the Championship and League One show him to average 2.29 shots per 90 across his career and 0.18 xG per 90. The small League Two sample size has him at 5.08 shots per 90 and 0.45 xG per 90.”
“Justin Kluivert has had a shot on target in each of his last 5 starts for Bournemouth.
Kluivert is averaging 1.12 shots on target per 90 in the Premier League this season.”
“Omari Hutchinson has had 14 shots on target across his 22 Premier League appearances this season (0.67 per 90). Only Liam Delap has had more attempts on target for Ipswich this season than the 21 year old.
Hutchinson has recently found some form in this department with the former Arsenal and Chelsea man managing a shot on target in each of his last five appearances in the Premier League, a run of games that has included Liverpool and Manchester City.
Villa are rightly favourites for this game but Ipswich do have a few players that can hurt them, especially with the recent headache Unai Emery has had in managing his backline due to injuries. The latest of these being to Ezri Konsa who has pretty much been an ever present for Villa this season, these absences open the door for Ipswich to have a few efforts on target in this game with Hutchinson well placed to have one of these given his recent record.”
“Will Hughes has been Crystal Palace’s most foul-prone player this season, averaging 2.1 fouls per game while featuring regularly in their midfield. His aggressive style has already led to 8 yellow cards, highlighting his tendency to commit reckless challenges. He committed 4 fouls v Man United last time out and this pick has won in 7 of his last 8 league outings.
This match is expected to be closely contested, with much of the play likely concentrated in midfield. That should increase Hughes’ defensive workload, making fouls more probable. Everton’s midfield also tend to draw plenty of fouls – Idrissa Gueye (1.32 fouls drawn per game) is one of their most fouled players and will operate in areas where Hughes will be directly involved.”
