Saka’s clash with Reinildo really stands out here and I’d anticipate there being a few fouls in either direction. Reinildo is a very aggressive full back who has committed eight fouls across his seven Premier League appearances this term (1.26 per 90), picking up a yellow card and a red card in the process.
While his aggression is notable, what is even more standout is the rate at which Reinildo wins fouls. He’s won 14 fouls across his seven Premier League appearances this season (2.20 per 90) which is a metric to suggest that he can draw a foul from Saka, as well as being tested regularly by the winger.
Reinildo has drawn at least one foul in each of his seven Premier League appearances this season, with three of these games seeing him win multiple fouls. Saka is an ideal opponent to haul down Reinildo with the Arsenal winger committing a foul in five of his last six matches in the Premier League.
Reinildo’s ability to win fouls isn’t a new feature to his game, he averaged 1.73 fouls won per 90 across his 19 appearances in LaLiga last season which tells us that Reinildo is capable of maintaining this promising foul won record he’s earned across the first 10 games of the season.
Saka is averaging 1.36 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this season with recent matches seeing a real uptick in the number of fouls that Saka commits. Reinildo should be able to test him on a few occasions in a key duel that I expect to emerge on that side of the pitch. Saka has also won 10 tackles in the Premier League this season (1.52 per 90) as well as winning possession in the final third on six occasions (0.91 per 90), highlighting the fact that Arteta expects every Arsenal player to contribute to the defensive job.
There is decent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same pick is priced as low as 1.44 with other comparable bookmakers.
