Our football props column is backing Brentford's hot-shot duo Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo for shots in Friday night's Premier League game at Leicester...

Back Matheus Cunha to have one or more shots on the target when Wolverhampton Wanderers travel to Bournemouth on Saturday at the super-boosted price of 1/1 from 1/2.

The Cherries are 12 places above Wolves in the Premier League but the Brazilian has been a big threat for the visitors all season, with 14 shots on target in his last six matches. With 30 this season, Cunha is in the top five players in the Premier League for shots on target and averages 1.5 every 90 minutes.

Leicester v BrentfordFriday 21 February, 20:00Live on Sky Sports Premier League & Main Event

With these two both in the top three in terms of shots conceded in this season's Premier League, I was immediately drawn to the shot markets.

With Leicester having struggled in attacking terms - they've netted just four goals in their least 10 league games - preference is on the Brentford side of things.

The Bees struggled away in the first half of the season but they head into this game against relegation strugglers having won three in a row on the road.

Yoane Wissa and Bryan Mbeumo have been big reasons for that run - the former was a constant threat at West Ham last week - and both men have been firing off shots aplenty in recent games.

Wissa has landed the 3+ shots bet in five of his last six starts, while Mbeumo has managed it in all six.

With those appearances overlapping, it means the bet on both players to have 3+ shots has delivered for its backers five times out of six, including all three of those away victories.

Now the duo go up against a struggling side with a track record for conceding shots and it's on offer at 12/5.

Leg 3: Boubakary Soumare to commit 2+ fouls

I think that's a strong bet but I'm going to combine it with a chunky price which I just can't ignore and that's Boubakary Soumare to commit 2+ fouls at 15/8.

The Frenchman is Leicester's midfield enforcer and has already received eight cards in 18 Premier League appearances this season, continuing a long-term trend.

Interestingly, he's favourite in the player-card market at 21/10, yet he's well down the list when it comes to the fouls market.

He's committed multiple fouls in five of his last nine starts. Three of those have seen 3+ fouls - a repeat will tempt some at 13/2.

The problem is Brentford as the least-fouled team in the top flight and that's probably where the prices comes from.

However, referee Tony Harrington is slightly above average when it comes to fouls per game and with Leicester's need for points becoming increasingly desperate, it's not hard to see Soumare getting stuck into a few challenges in front of a demanding home crowd.

9/1.
