Tapsoba earned 5 cards domestically for Bayer Leverkusen this season, and he picked up 3 cards in the Champions League, for which he served a one-game suspension. He will go against Saka down his left side today, which will be hard without committing some fouls and could easily see him get booked again.

Canada had totals of 7 and 5 runs in their last 2 games, while Cuba had totals of 5 runs or fewer in 2 of their 3 games. Both teams will have very good pitchers taking the mound. Canada will go with Quantrill from the Rangers, while Cuba will go with Moinelo, who pitched 3.2 innings in his first start without allowing any runs, so got to expect a low-scoring battle with a playoff feel, as advancement to the next phase is on the line making under a solid pick to go with.

Wimbledon is 14th with 46 points, while Blackpool is 20th with 38 points, sitting above the relegation zone only on goal difference. Wimbledon is undefeated in their last 3 games with 2 wins, while Blackpool is winless in their last 6 road games with 4 losses, and they lost 11 of 17 away matches. Wimbledon is undefeated in their last 4 H2H meetings, having won 2 of the last 3 of those matches, including the first encounter of this season. Wimbledon is also undefeated in 4 H2H matches against Blackpool which they hosted, with all 4 clean sheets, so got to give the edge to the hosts here and back Wimbledon to win.

Norwich is 17th with 45 points, while Sheff Utd is 12th with 49 points. Norwich is in superb form, having won 7 of their last 9 games and playing some really good football. Sheff Utd has also been better of late but lost 4 of their last 8 road games. Both have been very solid offensively recently, but Norwich has been better defensively, conceding only 5 goals in their last 8 games, so at home, got to give a slight edge to the Canaries and back them to win.

Oxford Utd is 23rd with 35 points, sitting 3 points below safety, while Blackburn is 20th with 39 points, sitting 3 points above the relegation zone, so this is a huge game in the fight for survival. Oxford Utd won their last 2 games, while Blackburn is winless in their last 3 games with 2 losses, and the Rovers lost 4 of their last 5 road games. Oxford Utd beat Blackburn by a minimal 1-0 here last season, and the hosts have better momentum at the moment, so got to like Oxford Utd to edge out this one and pick up 3 hugely important points.

Bradford is 4th with 61 points, while Port Vale is dead last, 24th, with just 27 points. Bradford won 5 of their last 8 games, while Port Vale is winless in their last 5 home games. Bradford won 2 of their last 3 H2H meetings and they are far better offensively, which should give them a slight edge and see the visitors win.

Bodo/Glimt has been amazing at home and they are coming off impressive wins over Man City and Inter in front of their fans. Sporting was just 1-1-2 in four road games in the group phase. Bodo/Glimt beat Porto here last season, who are the current leaders of the Portuguese championship, and they also beat another Portuguese side in Braga last season. Bodo/Glimt has home-ground advantage, playing on their artificial turf and knowing the perks of it, while visiting teams need some time to adjust. That should play into the hosts' hands and see Bodo/Glimt win this one.

Vagiannidis earned three cards in limited playing time for Sporting this season, and he got sent off in one of four previous games he played in the Champions League. So going against Hauge on his left side makes him a solid pick to get booked.

Hjulmand earned 6 yellow cards domestically and 3 more in the Champions League. With the number of fouls he makes, simply bet on him to get a card.

Caicedo picked up eight yellow cards and one red card in the Premier League this season and only got one more card in the Champions League, so he is in no danger of missing the second leg if he gets booked here, which could easily happen.

Man City is in superb form, being undefeated in the last 11 games in all competitions with 9 wins and 2 draws. Real Madrid has been struggling of late, losing 2 of the last 3 league games to weaker sides Osasuna and Getafe. Man City won here at the Bernabeu in the group stage, and this Real Madrid is even weaker, missing a lot of important players, highlighted by Mbappe, so got to expect this in-form Man City side to have the edge and win in the end.

Rudiger earned 1 card in 3 CL appearances this season after earning 3 cards in 12 appearances last season. He will have to deal with Haaland, who is much better than him and who will cause him issues. Rudiger is no stranger to doing some dirty things that could easily see him booked in this one.

Bernardo Silva picked up 8 cards in the PL this season. He was also booked in 3 of 6 games played in the CL and has already served one game suspension. He doesn't have the speed he used to have and often has to commit fouls because of it, which could easily see him booked in this one.

Argentinos Jrs stayed under this total in 5 of their 6 games this season, with those 6 games averaging only 1.2 goals per game. On the other side, Rosario Central stayed under this margin in 5 of their last 6 games. Both are playing well defensively and limiting opponents' chances, so this should lead to another lower-scoring game, which should result in an under in the end.
