Yankuba Minteh Over 1.5 Fouls Committed<\/strong><\/td>\n6\/4 @ Bet365<\/a>
(40.0%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nBrighton’s Yankuba Minteh has seen an uptick in his foul figures in recent weeks. Across his last five matches his fouls committed totals read 2,2,4,0,2, giving plenty of appeal to the 6\/4 on offer for him to give away two or more against Newcastle. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
Pascal Gross Anytime Assist<\/strong><\/td>\n24\/5 @ William Hill<\/a>
(17.2%)<\/td>\n		\u2b50\u2b50\u2b50<\/td>\nNewcastle have lost five consecutive matches across all competitions, conceding 14 goals in the process. The door could be open for Brighton on Saturday and after three assists in his last seven top-flight matches Pascal Gross looks an excellent price in the player assist market. <\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/figure>\n\n\n
