Chelsea host Fulham in the Premier League on Saturday lunchtime in the first west London derby of the season.
Our football tipster, Adam Drury, is on hand with 11/10 and 7/2 Bet Builders for the game.
Chelsea home games are an opportunity to go unders on the goals, with the Blues rarely producing classics at Stamford Bridge.
Five of their last seven home matches have featured under 3.5 goals, including a 0-0 draw against Crystal Palace on the opening weekend of the season – and Fulham can prove equally stubborn opponents.
The Cottagers have drawn both of their first two matches 1-1, relying on a late equaliser at Brighton on the opening weekend, having been outplayed.
Ten of their last 11 away games of last season also went under 3.5 goals, as did both of their matches against Chelsea.
The second leg of both Bet Builders features a couple of tackles from Moises Caicedo.
The Ecuadorian is very good for this, having made at least two challenges in each of his last seven games, spanning the Club World Cup and the Premier League.
That run includes five tackles at home to Crystal Palace a fortnight ago and another three at West Ham last Friday night, so two more here shouldn't be a problem.
Sasa Lukic has been among the most combative players in the Premier League so far this season, committing seven fouls.
Five of those came away at Brighton, with another two against Manchester United, so I'm taking him for two more here.
The Serbian midfielder also committed 2.2 fouls per game last season, so this start to the season is not anomalous.
With Lukic on the edge so often, and having been booked against United last time out, I will also back him to be carded in the 7/2 bet.
No player received more yellow cards in the Premier League last season than Lukic, who had 12.
1pt - Under 3.5 goals, Moises Caicedo 2+ tackles, Sasa Lukic 2+ fouls - 11/10 (Bet365)
0.5pt - Under 3.5 goals, Moises Caicedo 2+ tackles, Sasa Lukic 2+ fouls, Sasa Lukic to be carded - 7/2 (Bet365)
