3/1 Sunderland v Sheffield Wednesday Bet Builder Level 1
🛑 Trai Hume to commit 1+ fouls
📈 Odds: 1.30
Hume has committed 1.27 fouls per 90 in Sunderland’s last 30 matches. The full back has committed at least one foul in each of his last five starts for the club. This record extends to at least one foul in 10 of his last 11 and 23 of his last 29 matches.
He usually plays 90 minutes almost every game he starts for Sunderland, having done so in 29 of his last 30 starts, the exception still being an 87-minute appearance.
🛑 Djeidi Gassama to be fouled 2+ times
📈 Odds: 1.40
Gassama has been fouled 2.76 times per 90 across Wednesday’s last 30 matches, and he was fouled twice on opening day against Plymouth in only 74 minutes on the pitch.
His direct opponent, Aji Alese, has fouled in each of his last three matches, and fouled twice when featuring against Sheffield Wednesday last season.
🎯 Jack Clarke to have 1+ shots on target
📈 Odds: 1.36
This bet would have landed in each of Clarke’s last three matches. Clarke averages over a shot on target per 90 over Sunderland’s last 30 matches. He also had a shot on target in this match last season.
The forward generally plays the full 90 minutes for Sunderland when fit. No other player averages more shots and shots on target for the Black Cats than Clarke.
🚩 Over 3.5 Sheffield Wednesday corners
📈 Odds: 1.44
Sheffield Wednesday averaged over five corners per match in 23/24 season. They won a massive 15 corners in the opening match at home to Plymouth.
Wednesday’s approach of playing with wide, dribbling wingers who are able to get to the byline, should increase the likelihood of winning corners today. The Owls also managed to win five corners in the same fixture last season.
7/1 Sunderland v Sheffield Wednesday Bet Builder Level 2
🛑 Aji Alese to commit 1+ fouls
📈 Odds: 1.62
Alese has committed at least one foul in each of his last three starts, including twice against Wednesday at the Stadium of Light in May.
As noted above, he will be up against Djeidi Gassama, who will run at defenders and commit them. The Wednesday winger averages over 2.5 fouls against him per 90 in the Championship. Alese has also been yellow carded in each of his last two matches for Sunderland.
🛑 Jobe Bellingham to commit 1+ fouls
📈 Odds: 1.53
Bellingham has found himself playing in a deeper role than last season, which has led to him generally being involved in many more duels. He committed a foul on opening day, and committed a foul against Wednesday in May.
The youngster averages 1.06 fouls per 90 in the Championship – though most of those matches were in a more attacking role – while 11 out of Bellingham’s last 12 starts have seen him commit a foul.
🛑 Anthony Musaba to have 1+ shots on target
📈 Odds: 2.0
Musaba has been playing as a wide forward for Sheffield Wednesday, but continues to have licence to come centrally and shoot. He had five shots in the opening day match, including two on target.
The 23-year-old averages 0.74 shots on target per 90, while this bet would’ve landed in three of his last four Sheffield Wednesday matches.
🩹 Jack Clarke to be fouled 2+ times
📈 Odds: 1.57
Clarke is the target for most of Sunderland’s attacks, he has the highest number of dribbles, the most shots, the most goals, the most box entries at the club by a distance.
Clarke averages 2.34 fouls against him per 90 minutes over Sunderland’s last 30 Championship matches.
He was fouled three times in the corresponding fixture in May, and twice in the opening day fixture against Cardiff.
