Nottingham Forest vs Brighton
Anthony Elanga offers superb value in the shot on target market here, with the Sweden international available at a huge price of 1.91 to hit the target once.
Elanga has done so in 7 of his last 8 Premier League games for Nottingham Forest, including once off the bench against Aston Villa back in December. With 3 goals and 3 assists in these 8 games, the left winger is in fantastic form and should be feeling confident in front of goal if and when the chances present themselves.
He is averaging 0.79 shots on target per 90 in the Premier League, a solid but unspectacular return, however, his recent form has been nudging this number higher and higher over recent weeks. He notched a shot on target in Forest’s 5-0 humbling away to Bournemouth last time out, suggesting that no matter the result, he has a great chance of getting at least one attempt on target.
Gibbs-White is offered at an appealing price to commit a foul, with the Forest midfielder and now England international fouling 1.56 times per 90 in the Premier League. He has fouled at least once in 6 of his last 8 starts in the league, only failing to do so against Liverpool and in that 5-0 mauling at the hands of Bournemouth.
He has committed multiple fouls in 3 of his last 7 league starts, and fouled a whopping 4 times against Brighton earlier this season, one of just 3 league games in which he has fouled more than twice.
The 25-year-old is matched up against a Brighton midfield pair that win plenty of fouls, with Carlos Baleba fouled 1.72 times per 90, and Yasin Ayari winning 1.28 fouls per 90 in the Premier League. Baleba in particular is one to watch, having been fouled 9 times in his last 5 starts.
The Portuguese forward has started just 5 of Forest’s last 14 games in all competitions, but he has still managed to foul in 11 of these 14, fouling in all 5 starts as well as in 6 of his appearances off the bench.
Silva commits 2.21 fouls per 90 in the Premier League, and as mentioned above has fouled in all 6 of his starts for Forest. Of these 6 starts, Silva has committed 14 total fouls, with multiple fouls in 4 of these 6 games. He also committed a foul in 45 minutes off the bench against Brighton earlier this season.
He will primarily be up against Tariq Lamptey, who has won a foul in all but one of his starts for Brighton this season and also asked to double up on Brighton’s Kaoru Mitoma, who wins 0.73 fouls per 90.
