Getafe are one of the ugliest sides to watch across all of Europe, but their coach in Jose Bordelas takes pride in this approach. Getafe committed 16 fouls in the initial league meeting between these sides, a snapshot of how aggressive they can be - they have committed more fouls than any other side in LaLiga this season (15.4 per game), and unsurprisingly also collected the most cards (90).

Djene makes up part of Getafe’s back five as one of the wide centre backs, he’s perfectly suited to how Getafe play as he’s a bit of a hothead himself and crucially likes to step into midfield areas which gives him a higher chance of committing fouls. Djene committed two fouls and was shown a yellow card in just 45 minutes of action when these sides met earlier in the season with Djene replaced at half time to avoid Getafe having a player sent off.

Djene has committed 30 fouls across his 28 starts in LaLiga this term (1.17 per 90), but Barcelona are the perfect side to force a rise in these numbers. Barcelona are averaging 12.16 fouls won per game in LaLiga this term, which is a metric we can’t expect to rise when layered with Getafe’s aggressive nature. 

Djene should be tested particularly often having committed a foul in each of his last five LaLiga appearances, committing 2+ fouls in three of these games with one of these matches seeing Djene commit 4+ fouls, so getting 2.0 for the centre back to commit at least two fouls here is an appealing price.

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