Wednesday World Cup Card Betting Tips Featuring 100/1 Treble

Lewis Ferguson to be Carded - 1pt

Best price 10/3 with bet365.

Ferguson is a persistent fouler who simply cannot stay out of the referee's book. He averaged three fouls per 90 minutes and was carded three times across Scotland's qualifiers, he picked up five yellows and a red for Bologna in Serie A this season despite starting just 17 matches - a remarkable card rate for a player who wasn't even a regular starter.

His foul count across his last 12 Scotland starts reads 2, 1, 3, 3, 2, 4, 5, 2, 2, 2, 1, 3.

He has collected five cards in his last 14 matches, and Clarke's midfield will be under enormous pressure in Miami's 31-degree heat against a Brazil side designed to draw fouls.

Ferguson is likely to be tasked with shackling Bruno Guimaraes, Brazil's most fouled player:

Bruno Guimarães Fouls Won: 2, 2, 1, 0, 1, 4, 4, 2, 4, 3, 1, 2, 1, 3

And Casemiro who drew two fouls in the opener:

Casemiro Fouls Won: 2, 1, 1, 1, 2, 2, 2, 0, 1, 1

Alistair Johnston to be Carded - 1pt

Best price 6/1 with BetMGM.

This is Canada’s toughest test of the tournament so far against a disciplined, physical Swiss side that has conceded just twice in their last five games - both very late. 

Johnston, Canada’s attacking right-back, loves to bomb forward and gets heavily involved in duels. His recent foul numbers when starting: 0, 2, 2, 5, 2, 2.

He’ll likely be tasked with handling Breel Embolo, a strong, direct striker who draws fouls and forces defenders into hurried challenges, and the pacey Dan Ndoye.

Breel Embolo Fouls Won: 4, 0, 2, 2, 2, 1, 6, 2, 2, 5,
Dan Ndoye Fouls Won: 2, 4, 1, 3, 3, 2, 4, 1, 2, 2, 1, 2, 1, 5

With first place on the line and Switzerland well-organised under Yakin, Johnston could be stretched defensively and resort to cynical fouls to stop transitions. Right sided defenders facing the Swiss have been carded in both their games so far.

Sead Kolašinac to be Carded - 0.75pts

Best price 7/2 with Betway.

Referee JESÚS VALENZUELA averages 5 cards a game so there is scope for cards here.

Sead Kolašinac vs Edmílson Junior makes for an interesting match up in this game.

Kolašinac has committed 5 fouls in the tournament so far and faces the tricky Edmílson Junior.

Sead Kolašinac Fouls Committed: 2, 3, 2, 3, 0, 1, 1

Edmilson Junior Fouls Won: 1, 4, 1, 6, 5, 4, 1, 5, 2, 2, 5

Edmilson Junior has been one of Qatar's most active attacking players throughout the tournament. Qatar will need to attack if they are to have any chance of progressing.

Sead Kolašinac to be Carded

Referee Jesús Valenzuela averages five cards per game, creating plenty of scope for bookings in what should be an open contest. 

Kolašinac has already committed five fouls across the tournament. He’s a physical, no-nonsense left-back who doesn’t shy away from challenges.

Sead Kolašinac Fouls Committed: 2, 3, 2, 3, 0, 1, 1

The key matchup is against Edmílson Junior, one of Qatar’s most dangerous and active attackers. Junior’s foul-winning numbers are eye-catching. 

Edmilson Junior Fouls Won: 1, 4, 1, 6, 5, 4, 1, 5, 2, 2, 5

With Qatar needing to attack aggressively to stay alive in the group, Junior will see plenty of the ball on the  flank, forcing Kolašinac into repeated defensive actions.

Both sides need a result here to have a chance of progressing so it could get feisty.
