This price really stands out for McGregor to commit at least 1 foul, by comparison the same market is as low as 1.53 on some bookmakers making this price of 1.83 quite a generous offering when considering McGregor’s numbers this season and his potential opponent here. 

McGregor is averaging 0.88 fouls committed per 90 in the Champions League this season, this number might not stand out straight away but it is significant in the sense that it’s a notable increase on his 0.37 fouls committed per 90 average in the Scottish Premiership. This suggests that the increased quality and speed of the Champions League naturally results in McGregor having a higher defensive load to manage which also leads to more fouls.

McGregor will be up against Jamal Musiala who is averaging 2.12 fouls won per 90 in the Champions League this season. This record is a result of Musiala progressing through central areas of the pitch and having to be hacked down by his opposite number to stop the attacking midfielder progressing into the attacking third. Celtic are averaging 9.9 fouls committed per game in the Champions League this season, this is a total we can expect to increase here with Bayern forecasted to have the majority of the ball and control proceedings.
