  • Leicester City - foul on Facundo Buonanotte

  • Tottenham Hotspur - foul on Brennan Johnson

  • Brighton - foul on Georginio Rutter

  • Manchester City - foul on Savinho

  • Nottingham Forest - foul on Anthony Elanga

  • Arsenal - foul on Kai Havertz

Across 88 career games that WhoScored have data for, Toti Gomes is averaging a yellow card every 338.2 minutes. In the Premier League, he’s racked up 20 yellow cards in 83 appearances for Wolves. The Old Gold defender is averaging a foul per90 minutes across his career thus far, but the one foul seems to be cynical enough to get his name in the referee’s notebook more often than not.

Referee for the game is Peter Bankes who hasn’t been shy of a card recently, he dished out 6 yellows and a red in the score draw between Bournemouth and Man Utd last weekend.

💰 Punt: 25+ Match Fouls Committed & 31+ Match Fouls Committed
📗 Bookie: SkyBet
🎲 Odds: 2.50 (6/4) & 11.00 (10/1)
⚽️ Game: 1. FC Heidenheim vs. VfL Bochum

16th placed Heidenheim (25 points) host 18th placed VfL Bochum (21 points). Heidenheim currently occupy the relegation play-off spot in the Bundesliga, nothing but a win will do for Bochum with only 3 games left to attempt to save their season. When the two sides met back in December, Bochum ran out 2-0 winners in a match that saw 9 yellow cards and 33 fouls. Their two other meetings in Germany’s top flight last season saw 33 fouls and 5 yellow cards with the other game having 21 fouls and 7 yellow cards.

With the importance of the tie for Bochum stated above, a win for Heidenheim would also put pressure on both Hoffenheim and St Pauli, as they look to survive relegation without the need for a relegation play-off with a 2. Bundesliga side looking for promotion.

Match fouls committed on SkyBet look an appealing way in given the importance of the points for both sides and we could see a few rash challenges flying in as relegation looms large.
