After delivering a winning double on Sunday, SlipsTips shares a Bet Builder ahead of Leeds’ clash with Newcastle in the Premier League tonight.
Leeds vs Newcastle, Monday (20:00)
Leeds and Newcastle put their unbeaten starts to the Premier League season on the line at Elland Road on Monday night.
The Whites have collected five points from their opening three matches, beating Nottingham Forest 1-0 before drawing 1-1 with both Brentford and Brighton.
Newcastle boast an identical record, with their win at Tottenham coming between stalemates against Liverpool and Bournemouth.
Anton Stach To Be Fouled 1+ Time
Anton Stach to be fouled at least once forms the first leg of a player-based Bet Builder double. The Leeds midfielder has drawn seven fouls across his opening three Premier League appearances, which makes him one of his side’s most fouled players at this stage of the season. Those numbers are no flash in the pan either, with the German averaging just under one foul drawn per 90 across his 24 league starts last season.
Stach is likely to cross paths with Newcastle’s Nico Gonzalez, who carries out plenty of the Magpies’ dirty work in the middle of the park. The Spaniard has committed eight fouls in just two Premier League appearances this term, making him a prime candidate to bring down Stach at Elland Road.
Ethan Ampadu To Commit 1+ Foul
Ethan Ampadu to commit at least one foul completes the Bet Builder double. The Leeds captain is never shy when it comes to putting himself about, and his combative side should come to the fore against Newcastle tonight. Ampadu has committed a foul in all three of his Premier League appearances this season, as well as both of his outings in the EFL Cup. That continues a trend from last term, when the Welshman averaged 1.44 fouls per game in the top flight and amassed 10 yellow cards.
He is likely to come up against Nico Gonzalez, who drew three fouls against Bournemouth last weekend, reinforcing the case for Ampadu to overstep the mark at Elland Road.
Together, the two selections form a 20/23 Bet Builder that represents good value.
