Booking Tips: Two juicy card doubles for this weekend's Nations League action

Card betting specialist @TheMarcMorrison returns for this weekend's action in the UEFA Nations League, with two juicy card doubles for France's clash with Portugal on Saturday night and Belgium's encounter with England on Sunday evening.

The first of my two football predictions is in arguably the biggest game of the weekend as European champions Portugal lock horns with World Cup holders France. The last time these sides met there was only one card but I really can’t see that being the case again, in fact I reckon quite the opposite! I’ve gone for William Carvalho of Portugal to pick up a card, the defensive midfielder loves to put a foot in and break up the play and I reckon France will dominate possession so that will give plenty opportunity for Carvalho to make tackles. Combined with this I'm backing Benjamin Pavard of France to make this a 20/1 double. Pavard will most likely be up against Ronaldo so will have his work cut out with Portugal playing on the counter attack. 

Next up I’ve gone for the Belgium v England match. I think this will be quite an even game and there’s two players that stand out for me who I’ve watched countless times make many fouls in matches and will give us a good run for our money - the Axel Witsel and Eric Dier double is a hugely overpriced 28/1! Dier makes silly fouls through lack of pace and being rash and Belgium have plenty of pace in forward areas. Witsel, meanwhile, has picked up two cards in his last eight internationals; if selected, he’ll be sitting protecting Belgium’s back-three and with England’s youthful midfield and attack I think there's a great chance of him picking up a card.
