💎 Gem Bet: Colwill 1+ foul won
Chelsea v Bournemouth
Levi Colwill has won 14 fouls across his 19 Premier League appearances this season (0.74 per 90).
This is a promising record for a centre back which we could see rise against a Bournemouth side who get a lot of their success from the effectiveness of their press.
Levi Colwill is instructed by Enzo Maresca to employ a patient and considered build up which sees the centre back get plenty of touches on the ball.
The aim of this practice is to bait the opposition attacking players to jump out of position to which Colwill can progress the ball into the space left behind.
There is value here when placing with Paddy Power who are offering the market at 1.73, other major bookmakers have Colwill at around 1.57 to be fouled at least once.
Chelsea had 67% of the ball in their 1-0 win over Bournemouth earlier in the season, Colwill had 71 touches and attempted 61 passes as well as contesting 9 duels. He’ll be up against Antoine Semenyo who is averaging 1.95 fouls committed per 90.
It’s worth noting that Bournemouth have committed the most fouls in the entire league.
Over their last four games, they’ve played against 10 starting centre backs and managed to commit a foul on eight of them. Given Colwill’s ability to draw a foul, this looks a good price.
