Kounde is expected to line up at right back here, pitting him up against a combative Vinicius Jr. Kounde has won 20 fouls across just 14 starts in LaLiga this term (1.35 per 90), which is a healthy record for a right back and makes him a good option to win at least one foul here.

His direct opponent in Vinicius Jr has committed 16 fouls across his 16 starts in LaLiga this term (1.02 per 90) with the Brazilian committing one foul and being shown a yellow card in the most recent head to head clash. Kounde was on the end of that foul, suggesting that it is a matchup that will reignite here.

Real Madrid committed 12 fouls in the most recent head to head clash, and racked up 14 fouls in the Super Cup final between the sides last season. These numbers would indicate that it isn’t only Vinicius Jr that could haul Kounde down with Los Blancos regularly being aggressive as a side when facing Barcelona.

When Kounde gets forward, he’ll be met by Alvaro Carreras who is averaging 0.63 fouls committed per 90 in LaLiga this term. Vinicius is more of a direct threat to Kounde, but Carreras can also play his part when the French fullback does get forward.

There is decent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.36 with other leading bookmakers.
