Jules Kounde has committed a foul in two of his three World Cup matches so far, and I’m particularly interested in Gabriel Gudmundsson here, who has been fouled in each of his three World Cup matches, drawing 3+ fouls in two of these games.

Gudmundsson is as short as 1.20 to win a foul in this clash, so getting 1.72 for one of his direct opponents is a nice price. Gudmundsson is very consistent when it comes to winning fouls, drawing 11 across his six starts during qualifying (1.70 per 90) and 56 fouls across his 31 starts during the 25/26 campaign for Leeds (1.91 per 90).

It’s likely that Sweden look to focus on attacking down the wide areas against this France side, that’s where Deschamps’ side are weakest and it’s also where Sweden should get the most joy with the likes of Gyokeres, Elanga, Isak and Gudmundsson all able to be effective in those wide channels.

Kounde averaged 0.92 fouls committed per 90 for Barcelona during the 25/26 campaign and looks to be the perfect player to commit a foul here at a nice price when considering his direct opponent and his foul record at the tournament so far.

This selection is as low as 1.25 with other major bookmakers; the 1.72 we’re getting is a really nice price for this Round of 32 encounter.
