A draw could be enough for both teams, especially if Al Hilal fails to win its match. However, we find it quite difficult to imagine Simone Inzaghi’s team not taking all three points against Pachuca. Therefore, Salzburg and Real Madrid must win to be confident of progressing to the next round.
Here we are talking about predictions for players who are likely to receive a yellow card, i.e., four players who could either be booked or commit two fouls during the match, thus confirming our predictions. Based on the overall statistics for the season, but above all on the statistics that have emerged in these first two matches of the Club World Cup, we have made some choices that lead us to a truly tantalizing total of 15. And sensational.
Predictions for players likely to receive yellow cards in Salzburg-Real Madrid: our choices
Let’s start with the Austrians, and we can’t leave Stefan Lainer off this special betting slip: the defensive winger was the player who made the most tackles (13) in the match against Al Hilal and has picked up two yellow cards in 21 appearances this season. Yes, that’s not a lot, but he’s never played against Real Madrid. And he could be in serious trouble against Arda Guler.
With three fouls in his last game, striker Karim Onisiwo is the man who has to press first when his team is not in possession. And being a striker, therefore with completely different characteristics to those of a defender, he is someone who always commits a couple of fouls per game.
With 12 tackles in the match against Pachuca, and not in the best physical shape, Vinicius Junior is the Real Madrid player who always manages to commit a couple of fouls in every game. And, as we know, he doesn’t even draw cards. He has already received one in this World Cup (so he is on a warning, but he is certainly not one to hold back), and he has received eight in 30 league appearances. Mind-boggling numbers.
Finally, we close with Huijsen, the former Juventus and Roma player that Real secured in the transfer window that opened in June. He committed two fouls in his last match and two fouls in his debut. Will he commit two fouls in this match too? We strongly believe so.
So: Lainer almost booked plus, Onisiwo almost booked plus, Vinicius almost booked plus and Huijsen almost booked plus are worth 15.19 times the stake on GoldBet.
