There are four matches scheduled for tonight in the Brazilian league. And from those four matches, we have chosen two players who are sure to end up with yellow cards.
Not only because of the importance of the match they are going to play, but also because of the opponents they should be able to beat and the statistics that have accompanied these players over the last few months. In short, a trio of ingredients for our choices.
Brazil yellow card predictions: double at 11
Let’s start with the match between Mirassol and Vitoria. In this match, the home side’s right-back is Lucas Ramon. He has three yellow cards in 12 appearances, two of which came in the last three games. In short, he is going through a difficult period in his season, given that the team is not performing well. A full-back who should combine attacking drive with some defensive cover, he is more inclined towards the former than the latter. For this reason, the risk of a yellow card in this match is very high.
Let’s move on to the other match in question, between Sport Recife, bottom of the table, and Santos. On paper, this match has no chance of ending in anything other than an away win. Neymar is called upon to make the difference, and he should be able to do so on the pitch against Matheus Alexandre. The Recife full-back has played seven times in this championship and has received five yellow cards. That’s all it takes to include the 1999-born player in our selections.
