Rafa Silva vs Gurgul
Rafa Silva
GurgulNo lines posted
Rafa Silva has no posted line, and Gurgul’s low foul and card clearance gives no edge for a winger foul-drawing or card angle; Gurgul’s tackles line is the only defensive prop with some support.
Schjelderup vs Pereira
Schjelderup
PereiraPereira’s tackle volume gives him the defensive edge and points to his tackles line; Schjelderup’s shot props look short given how rarely he clears.
Duran vs Skrzypczak and Yegbe
Duran
Skrzypczak
YegbeNo lines posted
Duran has no posted line, so there is no direct attacking prop angle; Skrzypczak and Yegbe’s low foul and card output leaves little support for a card or foul angle.
Walemark vs El Karouani
Walemark
El KarouaniWalemark’s shot output gives him the attacking edge and points to his shots on target line, while El Karouani’s 3 of 3 foul clearance supports his fouls line.
Bengtsson vs Bah
Bengtsson
BahBah’s tackle volume gives him the defensive edge and points to his tackles line; Bengtsson’s modest shot output keeps his shot props less compelling.
Agnero vs Araujo and Circati
Agnero
Araujo
CircatiAgnero’s 0 of 3 shot clearance makes his shot props look aggressive against the centre-backs’ tackle coverage, with Araujo’s tackle volume the stronger defensive signal.
