Dean Huijsen has returned to the Real Madrid starting lineup after a period on the sidelines with injury. He committed two fouls and was shown a yellow card in Madrid’s most recent assignment as they crashed out of the Copa Del Rey at the hands of Albacete in the latest embarrassment that Madrid have suffered this season, this time in the wake of the dismissal of Xabi Alonso who left the club shortly after their defeat in the Spanish Super Cup to Barcelona. 

Huijsen’s display against Albacete last time out is a good example of how aggressive the former Bournemouth centre back can be. He regularly pushes up into advanced areas of the pitch, and has an intriguing duel here up against one of the most sought after talents in LaLiga. Etta Eyong is expected to lead the line for Levante here, the 22 year old is their top scorer and creator in the Spanish top flight this term - and is very strong when it comes to winning fouls. 

Etta Eyong has won 27 fouls across his 15 starts in LaLiga this term (1.98 per 90) with this record largely being informed by his role in getting his side up the pitch. Etta Eyong is very good with his back to goal, often using his strength to hold off opposition centre backs which leads to the 22 year old being fouled. Etta Eyong is priced at 1.2 to win a foul here, so we’re getting a more appealing price when backing his direct opponent to commit a foul. 

Huijsen has committed 11 fouls across his 12 starts in LaLiga this term (1.02 per 90), so he has a consistent foul record as well to match the appealing foul won rate of his direct opponent in this clash. This record has also seen Huijsen pick up three yellow cards, and a red card this season - offering further promise when looking to back Huijsen to commit just one foul in this clash. 

There is excellent value with this selection when backing with Bet365, the exact same angle is priced as low as 1.14 with other comparable bookmakers.
