Cunha is averaging two fouls drawn per game this season, built on sharp movement, close control and a willingness to go down under contact.<\/p>\n<p>Kayode made two fouls in the reverse fixture so at 9\/4, you&#8217;re effectively betting on a repeat of a scenario we&#8217;ve already seen.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>SCORE PREDICTION: 2-1<\/strong><\/h3>\n<h3><strong>Jones Knows best bet:<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p><strong>1pt treble on Aston Villa to win, Wolves double chance &#038;
