Will Still once led Reims to a 19-game-unbeaten run in all competitions! He’s also similar to Matty Cash and Ben White in the sense that when he’s spoken about, you use his full name. Now he’s managing in The Championship having took over as Southampton boss this summer. Having plied his trade in Ligue 1 for the past few seasons as head coach at both Stade de Reims and RC Lens, we’ve began to see how aggressive he likes his team to be as he highlighted on his Monday Night Football debut back in April.

⚽️ Game: Southampton vs. Wrexham

Will Still’s RC Lens side averaged the most fouls in Ligue 1 during the 2024/25 season. They topped the charts averaging 14.7 fouls per game, as well as this they were caught offside the most in the division as well averaging just shy of 2.5 offsides per game on average, being flagged for going too early on 84 occasions in the French top flight.

RC Lens opponents last season took a combined 554 free kicks in the league, averaging out at 16.29 per game. There’s always reason to be sceptical given Southampton are heavy favourites (4/6) and the potential that they dominate the ball, however, given the fact that RC Lens opposition had at least 12+ free kicks in 32/34 league games last term, it’s definitely a punt worth taking. With the potential for a lot more…if you’re a dreamer.

• Over 11.5 Free Kicks for Wrexham @ 2.00 (1/1) - landed in 32 out of 34 Ligue 1 games for RC Lens opponents in 2024/25

• Over 14.5 Free Kicks for Wrexham @ 4.50 (7/2) - landed in 22 out of 34 Ligue 1 games for RC Lens opponents in 2024/25

In 2023/24, Will Still’s Stade de Reims team averaged 13.1 fouls per game (joint 5th most in the league) and 2.5 offsides per game (most in the league)

In 2022/23, Will Still’s Stade de Reims team averaged 13.3 fouls per game (4th most in the league) and 2.2 offsides per game (joint most in the league)

If Andrew Kitchen can award 37 free-kicks in Friday Night’s season opener then anything is possible! James Bell, I’m looking at you.

You can picture the baffled look on my face as I keep refreshing bet365 to see if the little fouls counter has updated yet…37th minute and Wrexham have only had 2 free-kicks. It’s not looking good brev. 12.30 kick-off as well so I get to do it all over again by 3pm. Don’t you just love betting?
