“Jesper Lindstrom has commited a foul in 5 straight Premier League games for Everton.

Lindstrom is averaging 1.05 fouls per 90 this season, with his 5-game-average rising to 1.80 per 90.”

“Swansea head into the weekend’s fixture with Blackburn under the guidance of Alan Sheehan, who has taken on temporary managerial duties following the departure of Luke Williams. Sheehan has his work cut out if he’s to make an immediate impact with the Swans having won once, drawn once and lost 8 times in matches played across all competitions since the turn of the year.

Swansea’s defensive numbers have been poor. In the 10 matches played since we entered 2025 their goals conceded numbers read 4-1-3-3-2-5-2-0-1-3. The xGA in those matches read 1.70-1.01-2.48-0.85-1.84-3.02-2.38-1.75-0.82-0.90.

Only Hull have picked up fewer home points than Swansea this season and the South Wales club should be fearful of more pain when Blackburn visit because Rovers have 1 of the most improved forwards in the league in their ranks.

Makhtar Gueye started the season slowly but with adapting time he now looks like a potent EFL Championship striker. Up until the New Year, Gueye had only taken 18 shots in the Championship with a 28% on target ratio and had scored once. Since the start of January Gueye’s shot numbers in Championship matches read 0-1-2-1-7-2-3-2-3-3. His shot on target ratio is now at 43% and he has scored 4 more goals – 3 in his last 4 matches. 3.66 xG of his season total of 5.8 xG has come in the his last 10 matches.

Gueye’s threat comes in both open play and from set pieces.”

“Jean-Philippe Mateta has had at least 1 shot on target in each of his last 5 domestic appearances, with the Frenchman registering 2 shots on target in each of his last 2 outings for Crystal Palace.

His season-wide form sees him averaging only 0.88 shots on target per 90, however, over his last 5 fixtures this has increased drastically to 1.80 per 90.”

“The Japanese winger has committed a foul in 5 straight Premier League appearances, racking up 7 total offences in that same period.

Mitoma is averaging 1.36 fouls committed per 90 in the Premier League this season with this bet only failing to land once in his last 11 outings for the Seagulls.”

“Omari Hutchinson has been really bright in parts for Ipswich this season, he’s probably the Tractor Boys’ most important attacking player behind Liam Delap, with his rate of chance creation and shot threat from distance. His foul record particularly stands out here.

He’s won 30 fouls across his 23 Premier League appearances this season (1.38 per 90) which is already a promising record, but it should be set to increase here against Rodrigo Bentancur who is averaging 1.89 fouls committed per 90 across his 15 Premier League appearances. He has committed at least 1 foul in each of his last 5 Premier League outings.

There were 29 fouls exchanged in the initial meeting between these sides in North London and there is likely to be a continuation of that battle with Ipswich already getting one over on Ange Postecoglu’s side and the home side needing to avoid defeat at the very least to stay competitive in the relegation battle.

Bentancur committed 3 fouls in the initial meeting and was shown a yellow card, with Hutchinson being hauled down on 4 occasions.”

“Marcus Rashford may well have rediscovered his mojo in a scintillating debut half of PL action for his new side, in which he made 62 touches (the most ever in his career in a half of PL football), and fired in 4 shots with 1 on target.

He also hit the target with his 1 attempt against Liverpool in midweek.”

“McGinn is a magnet for fouls, drawing 1.73 per game overall, rising to 2.17 per 90 minutes. He has won at least 1 foul in his last 14 starts (excluding an injury-shortened cameo of 19 minutes against Leicester) and has drawn 2 or more in 12 of those.

In the reverse fixture he was fouled 5 times, adding to the likelihood of this bet landing.”
