McTominay has won 38 fouls across his 23 Serie A appearances this season (1.73 per 90). This record includes McTominay being brought down at least twice in four of his last five Serie A appearances.

This game has plenty riding on it, Napoli and Inter are locked in a battle for the Scudetto with Atalanta not far behind either. The initial meeting between these sides ended in a 1-1 draw and saw 27 fouls exchanged between the sides, 15 of these were committed by Inter. McTominay was on the end of three of these fouls with the former Manchester United midfielder committing two fouls himself. McTominay’s power and physicality are suited to the Serie A and often lead to the 28 year old winning fouls at a consistent rate as evidenced by his average across the season as a whole. 

McTominay will be up against a robust Inter Milan midfield trio that committed five fouls between them in the initial meeting between the sides. Henrikh Mkhitaryan stands out as a player that could end up bringing McTominay down a few times here, he committed three fouls in the initial meeting between the sides as he struggled to deal with McTominay’s strong runs through the middle of the park. Mkhitaryan is averaging 1.23 fouls committed per 90 across his 24 Serie A appearances this season. 

There is value with this selection when placing with SkyBet, the same market is priced at 1.44 on other bookmakers suggesting that the 1.73 offered by SkyBet here is quite generous, especially when looking over McTominay’s foul won numbers this season and in recent games.
