Trossard was fouled twice in Belgium’s opener against Egypt and is generously priced to be hauled down at least twice again here given his consistent record when it comes to winning fouls for club and country.

Trossard played on the right in Belgium’s opener but did swap around with Doku at times to the other wing. Belgium drew 15 fouls from Egypt in that opening game, seven of which were on Doku and Trossard. This shows that if sides want to keep Belgium at bay, one of the most effective strategies they can employ is to nullify the wide areas by doubling up on Trossard and Doku.

Doku is much shorter to win 2+ fouls here (1.25), so Trossard’s price is far more appealing for a player that is likely to be just as involved in Belgium’s build up through the wide areas. Trossard won 39 fouls across 21 starts in the Premier League during the 25/26 campaign (1.75 per 90) and now lines up against an Iran side who committed 10 fouls in their opening game and averaged just over that total during qualifying.

Trossard’s direct opponent is likely to be Milad Mohammadi (0.97 fouls committed per 90 during qualifying) but he’ll also roam around to different parts of the pitch, including the opposite wing, which gives Trossard a wide variety of opponents to win the 2+ fouls we need him to in this clash. 

Trossard is as short as 1.33 with other major bookmakers to win 2+ fouls in this clash, the 2.37 we’re getting on Bet365 is very generous given Trossard’s underlying record and free role for Belgium.
