There are three matches on Saturday in Brazil. But we’re not going to follow them all. We’ve chosen two players who, based on statistics, their team’s current form and the importance of the match they are about to play, are likely to end up in the referee’s notebook.
Let’s not waste any time and find out who these two players are. Let’s start with the match between Fortaleza and Bahia. The home side are second from bottom with only ten points, while the visitors are fourth in the table. It’s clear that Fortaleza need a change of direction, and fast, if they want to get back into the fight for survival. So we expect an attacking game, and among the visitors is Santiago Ramos, a central defender who could be in trouble. Born in 2001, he has made 13 appearances and received two yellow cards in this championship, nine appearances and one yellow card in the Libertadores, and four appearances and one yellow card in the Baiano championship. He struggles when the stakes are high, and Saturday night’s game is crucial for his team.
Brasileirao yellow card predictions: here’s the other name
The match between Vasco and Gremio is also a particularly heated one. It is a match that will decide important points for possible salvation. Yes, the table is tight in Brazil, and with a couple of negative results, you could find yourself down there, at risk.
We’ve chosen a Gremio player, a midfielder. Mathias Villasanti, born in 1997, has some experience, but when he needs to show his grit, he does so without any problems. Eleven league games, five yellow cards, three cup games, one yellow card, 10 games in the Gaucho championship, another five yellow cards. In short, we cannot fail to mention him in our selection.
