Premium Tips

A derby tends to mean fouls and cards, and our two tips lean into that.

Premium TipOddsWhy we’re backing it
Adam Wharton to win 2+ fouls7/4 (10bet)Adam Wharton has won at least two fouls in five of his six Premier League appearances this season, and he has drawn eleven in total as Palace’s main ball-carrier from midfield. Brighton press high and aggressively, which tends to mean plenty of contact for the player Palace build through. Derbies are rarely quiet affairs either, and Wharton’s ability to draw fouls has been one of the most consistent numbers in Palace’s season. 10bet offer 7/4 on him winning two or more.
Olivier Boscagli to be shown a card5/1 (10bet)Olivier Boscagli has picked up two bookings in six Premier League appearances for Brighton this season. The centre-back will spend much of the afternoon dealing with Palace’s runners in behind, and derby matches between these two have a habit of boiling over. Palace won two of the last three meetings, so there will be no shortage of edge. 10bet offer 5/1 on Boscagli picking up a card, the best price across 12 bookmakers. The numbers behind it are as consistent as any on this weekend’s card.
