Genuinely enough to make a grown man cry.

Viktor Gyokeres says a dry pitch "didn't help" Arsenal with their chances today ⚽️❌

I'm looking into the World Cup Qualifiers on Thursday, and Wales v Bosnia Herzegovina should be mental. Give this a read: István Kovács will be the referee, and so far this season he's averaging 5.50 cards per game, but it gets even better. Bosnia Herz are the most yellow carded team in this qualifying campaign, picking up 21 yellows, at an average of 2.63 per90. Bosnia Herz card form: 2, 5, 4, 2, 2, 1, 2, 3. They've also commit the most fouls on average, with a huge 17.40 per game. For context, Wolves have commited the most fouls in the Premier League and average just 13.20. Bosnia Herz have also drawn the most cards from their opponents in qualifying, drawing 27 cards across eight games, including four red cards. Opponents card form: 1, 3, 2, 6, 3, 3, 4, 5 Their opponents have received a red card in four of their eight qualifying games, and the referee averages a red card every 0.33 games this season, which is mental. Kovacs has given out four red cards, in just 12 games this season. Wales are the more disciplined side on paper, averaging 1.50 cards per90, and their opponents averaging 2.00. Their card form reads: 0, 3, 2, 1, 3, 1, 2, 0 But it's worth noting, both of those zeros came in games they completely dominated (7-1 win v N Macedonia and their win v Kazakhstan). When Wales face a proper test, such as the home and away legs against Belgium, they received two and three cards. Everything about this game screams cards, and the bookies have 5+ priced at odds on. 18+, gamble responsibly.
