Ezri Konsa has committed 2 or more fouls in 3 of his last 7 matches at 1.31 per 90, and Nottingham Forest hold 47.2% of the ball — 43% on our numbers against an implied 25%.

Under 2.5 Goals. Nottingham Forest win 4.7 corners a game and Arsenal 4.8, which makes this about 58% on our numbers against the 52% its price implies. Corners are a separate market from the player legs, so this one multiplies into the builder cleanly.

If that is longer than you want, the betting tips below run from 1/10 to 2/1 and any of them swaps straight in. Legs in the same match are not independent — a fouls-drawn leg and a fouls-committed leg both get easier in a scrappy game — so treat the combined price as indicative, and bet365’s own builder will differ slightly.
