Tuesday’s Champions League Player Fouls Tips
Theo Hernandez is one of the best left-backs in world football like many modern day fullbacks the main asset to his game is his attacking ability, he can be a tad reckless in his challenges as evidenced by his average of 1.22 fouls committed per 90 across 32 Serie A appearances last season.
He committed 1 foul and contested 5 duels in AC Milan’s 1-0 loss to Bayer Leverkusen in their last Champions League outing. He’ll be up against Michal Skoras who has strong foul won stats, the Polish winger is averaging 2.38 fouls won per 90 domestically this season and was fouled once in his 46-minute appearance against Sturm Graz last time out.
The clash between Hernandez and Skoras will be one to watch in this game. Hernandez’s willingness to bomb forward can leave him exposed defensively – particularly on the transition which is where Skoras can draw a few fouls from his opposite number.
Eder Militao is averaging 1.54 fouls committed per 90 across his 10 La Liga appearances this season, he’s part of an equally aggressive centre-back pairing joined by Antonio Rudiger.
He committed 1 foul and picked up a yellow card in just 45 minutes of action in Real Madrid’s 3-1 win over Stuttgart on Matchday 1. He’ll be up against Serhou Guirassy who has started the season well with Borussia Dortmund scoring 4 goals across his 5 starts as well as averaging 1.67 fouls won per 90.
It should be a very physical battle between Militao and Guirassy who are sure to bring out each other’s foul committed and foul won averages from the other, Dortmund will expect to be without the ball for large periods but can take inspiration from Stuttgart’s approach to the game against the reigning Champions League champions as they look to hit their frontman as frequently and often as possible.
Tchouameni averaged 0.91 fouls committed per 90 across 27 LaLiga appearances last season, the central midfielder is tasked with the majority of the defensive work for Carlo Ancelotti’s side and is set to line up in a midfield trio with Valverde and Bellingham alongside him.
He’s averaging 0.92 fouls committed per 90 across his 9 La Liga appearances this season and has contested 12 duels across his 2 Champions League appearances against Stuttgart and Lille culminating in 1 foul committed. This should be his toughest test in the Champions League so far up against a midfield trio of Emre Can, Pascal Gross and Julian Brandt who are averaging 2.18 fouls won per 90 between them this season.
Real Madrid’s quality does sometimes lead to frustration and this clear in their foul numbers, they committed 14 fouls against Lille and 13 against Stuttgart – winning the foul count in each of their Champions League matches this season. Tchouameni’s foul will likely come in stopping a Dortmund counterattack, Nuri Sahin’s side have already shown they have plenty of attacking threat as evidenced by their 7-1 hammering of Celtic.
Tchouameni is averaging 0.80 fouls won per 90 across his 9 La Liga appearances this season, this fixture should see that number rise slightly in what should be a robust battle between two industrious midfield setups
Emre Can stands out as a player that could haul down Tchouameni in this encounter, the German committed 4 fouls and contested 7 duels in Dortmund’s 7-1 win over Celtic last time out and is averaging 1.03 fouls committed per 90 across his 7 Bundesliga appearances this season.
Tchouameni contested 9 duels and was fouled once in Real Madrid’s 2-1 win over Celta Vigo at the weekend, he played as a centre-back which is a role he could be deployed in again here depending on Carlo Ancelloti’s setup but his numbers stay quite consistent regardless of his positioning. The matchup against Emre Can is one to keep an eye on.
Declan Rice is averaging 0.92 fouls won per 90 across his 7 Premier League appearances this season, the midfielder has considerably improved on his average of 0.36 fouls won per 90 across 38 Premier League appearances last season suggesting he has a slightly different role in the absence of Martin Odegaard.
With Odegaard still sidelined for a few weeks at the very least, there is an extra responsibility on Declan Rice in the attacking areas of the pitch, this is also reflected in his other numbers such as shots (1.23 per 90) and chances created (1.54 per 90).
This increase is notable, the generous price is likely informed by Rice’s fouls won record from last season which isn’t standout but his early performances this season suggest he is more likely to be fouled. He’ll be up against Taras Stepanenko who contested 13 duels and committed 2 fouls in Shakhtar’s last Champions League game against Atalanta.
