EVAN FERGUSON SINGLE-PLAYER BET BUILDER

Evan Ferguson to Have 2 or More Shots on Target

In his 10 Premier League games, Evan Ferguson has had 17 shots, nine of which were on target. Here’s a nice stat for you stats geeks too, he’s only been caught offside once since breaking into the Brighton first team. In his international debut we obviously saw Ferguson getting on the scoresheet but he tested Pavel Steinbors in the Latvian goal on a few occasions. 

We even saw him shooting from distance which is what has us looking at this bet. Ireland will enjoy a fair amount of possession against France. Didier Deschamps’ team are happy to sit back and soak up pressure and attack on the break so we should see Ireland getting up around their penalty area quite a bit.

Obviously Ferguson will be Ireland’s main goal-scoring threat and in averaging so many shots over his short professional career we can see him asking questions of Mike Maignan in the French goal.

Evan Ferguson to commit 1 or more Fouls

Ireland will defend from the front against France and when they lose possession they’re going to be fighting to get it back as fast as they can in an attempt to stop France’s defenders and midfielders getting the ball up to both Kylian Mbappe and Antoine Griezmann. 

Getting the ball back is a big part of Ferguson’s game for the Seagulls. He has a tackle success rate of 60% in his Premier League appearances and with him dropping into midfield to pick up the ball and create space for others we reckon there’s a good chance he’ll commit a foul.

KYLIAN MBAPPE SINGLE-PLAYER BET BUILDER

Kylian Mbappe to Score

Kylian Mbappe scored 10 goals over his eight World Cup games in Qatar and has scored a total of 43 goals over his last 46 games for both club and country. This French team oozes quality but he’s a step above the rest here and Ireland’s biggest problem is going to be trying to match his pace either when he’s in possession or when he’s chasing after a ball that’s been knocked into space. 

Ireland just don’t have anyone with that kind of pace at the back and we reckon he’s going to find himself through on goal a few times here and he should add to his impressive tally for the season. 

Kylian Mbappe to have 3 or more Shots on Target

Mbappe has had a whopping 57 shots on target in France’s Ligue Un this season. Over 22 appearances that averages out as 2.59 per match. If we’re backing him to score then that’s one on target and well, it’s not really hard to imagine him testing the Irish goalkeeper on the night, be it Southampton’s Gavin Bazunu or Liverpool’s Caoimhin Kelleher, two more times.

During the World Cup he was averaging 4.4 shots per game and in 2021’s Euros he averaged 5.0 per game. Decent odds here for one of the best players in world football registering at least three shots on target.

Kylian Mbappe to commit 1 or more Fouls

A little known facet of Mbappe’s game is that he’s, well, a bit dirty, on the road anyway. Over his last 12 away games for PSG he’s made 10 fouls. The key here is that it’s in his away games that he commits his fouls, we see far less made on home soil for both club and country.

Mbappe, like Ferguson, tends to drop deep too to gather the ball before going on a blistering runs and in doing so he’s going to have to take the ball off defenders and midfielders and we could certainly see him making at least one foul.
