Huijsen has committed a foul in each of his last three Champions League appearances and faces an intriguing task here against a Benfica side that will look to play in transition. Huijsen has committed six fouls in total across his appearances in the Champions League, working out to an average of 1.50 fouls committed per 90.

The former Bournemouth centre back has also received one yellow card across these matches, and I would suggest looking at the card market for Huijsen here as well given that his main duels with Pavlidis are going to be in situations where he is likely to commit a tactical foul.

Huijsen has committed a further 12 fouls across his 14 starts in LaLiga this term (0.97 per 90), adding to the evidence that he can commit at least one foul here. Huijsen is very adventurous with the ball and often steps into midfield areas to help Madrid progress the ball through the thirds.

This trait aids Huijsen when it comes to committing fouls as he ends up having a few opponents instead of just the opposition striker. It may be worth combining this selection with Pavlidis to win a foul, which is also available at 1.40, as he will be Huijsen’s direct opponent - he’s won a foul in each of his last five Champions League matches and has won nine in total across his six starts (1.49 per 90).

There is excellent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.17 with other major bookmakers.
