Fouls are the main target in Friday's La Liga sport. Here's why.

The referee is Alejandro Quintero Gonzalez, a Primera Division newcomer, however one who has already leapt to the highest of the foul charts, giving a median of 29 throughout his first 4 video games.

Yes, it is a small pattern however he was additionally one of many strictest officers within the Segunda Division final time period, averaging 5.61 playing cards per sport, a determine he is already elevated in 2024/25.

Leganes have been additionally excessive for playing cards throughout their promotion-winning marketing campaign and this season they sit fifth within the fouls-committed record.

Throw in the truth that this can be a key sport early within the season – either side are presently trying a relegation battle, sitting sixteenth and 18th respectively – and this can be a contest which ought to produce some foul challenges.

My betting angle is to focus on Leganes gamers to commit fouls, with a number of the Valencia boys to be fouled within the course of.

Let's begin with Leganes left-back Javi Hernandez, who has dedicated 2+ fouls in 4 of his six begins since becoming a member of in the summertime.

He was additionally a number one fouler when at Cadiz and completed within the league's high 30 for fouls dedicated final season.

Across the 2 campaigns, he is now landed the two+ fouls wager in 16 of his final 26 begins and, given the official in cost, I'm comfortable to place him straight within the Bet Builder.

Rioja has been fouled in six of his seven appearances to this point and given who he is up in opposition to, this appears to be like a good worth.

Turning to midfield, there's doubtlessly feisty battle in retailer between Darko Brasanac and Pepelu.

Leganes are being tipped to recall Brasanac by the Spanish press. He's began 5 video games this season and dedicated 15 fouls, touchdown the two+ wager in all 5.

In this one, he'll be trying to cease Pepelu, who has just lately pressured his approach into the Spain squad.

The former Levante man has now been fouled in 9 of his final 12 video games so to be fouled 1+ time is added to finish a four-fold which pays simply over 4/1.

Back Javi Hernandez & Darko Brasanac to commit 2+ fouls each and Luis Rioja & Pepelu to be fouled 1+ time each @ around 4/1
