Premium Tips

Two player props for a scrappy meeting between two struggling sides.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Evanilson 2+ fouls committed2/1 (Ladbrokes)Evanilson works hard out of possession and it shows in his foul count, with the Bournemouth striker committing at least two fouls in four of his six Premier League appearances this season. He makes ten in total, and Sunderland’s centre-backs like to compete physically, so plenty of duels are on the cards. With both sides near the bottom and points at a premium, this should be a feisty afternoon. Ladbrokes go 2/1 on Evanilson making two or more fouls. It is an angle that has rewarded backers regularly this term.
Thomas Meunier 1+ shot on target5/2 (bet365)Thomas Meunier has landed a shot on target in four of his six Premier League games for Sunderland, an unusual return for a full-back who gets forward at every opportunity. Bournemouth have conceded eight goals in their last three league games, including five at Chelsea last time out, so space should open up for Sunderland’s wide players. bet365 offer 5/2, around one and a half times the price elsewhere, on Meunier hitting the target at least once. It is a trend that has held up well across the season so far.
