🇪🇸 Real Madrid v Juventus 🇮🇹
110/1 in my free Telegram 🔥
- Real Madrid's shift to a back 5 in their last game, with Rudiger playing on the right of the 3, means that the wide CBs end up having to do more 1v1 defending in the channels following opposition transitions, which inevitably leads to more fouls and tackles - it's a totally different position to playing centre back in a flat 4.
- This strikes me as an unbelievable bet because for Chelsea, Rudiger also played as a wide centre back in a 3; his last season at Chelsea showed some unreal signs that against a side like Juventus and a forward like Yildiz, Rudiger could emulate his old numbers when coming 1v1 with the Turkish wonderkid.
Rudiger fouls (21/22): [0,1,0,1,1,1,3,0,2,1,3,3]
Average 1.33 on this sample.
Rudiger tackles (21/22): [3,0,2,1,4,2,1,0,4,5,0,2]
Average 2.00 on this sample.
- In addition to these stats, there's a clear pattern of high tackles and fouls for right centre backs v Juventus.
RCB fouls v Juventus: [3,2,0,1,3,3,1,2,0,0,2,2,2,1]
RCB tackles v Juventus: [2,1,3,6,1,2,1,2,2,0,2,2,3,0]
- The same applies to Huijsen on the other side, though his prices are not nearly as good; he makes the Megashots.
