Ezzalzouli first caught my eye in the Conference League final last season as Betis lost 4-1 to Chelsea. Ezzalzouli scored Betis’ only goal in that clash, drawing one foul and presenting as a very busy dribbler. He’s been one of Betis’ most influential players this season, registering eight goal contributions across just 12 starts in LaLiga this term.

He’s won 37 fouls across these appearances, working out to a very promising average of 3.16 fouls won per 90. He’s drawn 3+ fouls in four of his last five matches in LaLiga, suggesting that there may also be a bit of value in taking Ezzalzouli to win three fouls in this clash - that is available at 2.50, which also represents value when compared with the price available elsewhere.

Ezzalzouli usually commands two players to stop him, he’ll be up against Antonio Sanchez and Pablo Maffeo here who combine to commit 2.36 fouls per 90 in LaLiga this term. Maffeo was also booked in the most recent league meeting between the sides, and has collected the second most yellow cards for Mallorca in LaLiga this season (5) - making him an ideal candidate to haul down Ezzalzouli on a few occasions here, in line with his foul won record in recent matches and across the season as a whole.

There is decent value with this angle when backing with Bet365, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.25 with other major bookmakers.
