Osasuna defender David Garcia
Osasuna's David Garcia is no stranger to a yellow card

"Garcia has picked up nine yellow cards in each of the last two campaigns, and he was cautioned in the season opener against Sevilla."

Back David Garcia to be shown a card at 3.02/1

We're kicking off our weekend in Spain, and Kev's picked out a player he believes will fall foul of the referee in Osasuna v Cadiz.

Dangerous Dave worth considering

Osasuna v Cadiz

Borussia Mönchengladbach won 1-0 last night thanks to a penalty from Alassane Plea, and while Marcus Thuram had another good night for the Foals, the Frenchman didn't get the goal or assist we craved. Unbowed, we'll head to Pamplona, because we're looking for a hardman to get into trouble in the game between Osasuna and Cadiz.

Osasuna made a great start to the La Liga season as they edged out Sevilla 2-1. Youngster Aimar Oroz, born in Pamplona, struck the winning penalty to secure his first ever La Liga goal. On the flipside, Cadiz lost 1-0 at home to Real Sociedad, as Take Kubo scored the only goal.

Our attention is drawn to Osasuna defender David Garcia, who is a bookings machine. He received nine cautions in each of the last two seasons, and he was yellow-carded last week against Sevilla.

His odds of receiving a booking this evening have been given an #OddsBoost to 3.02/1, and that's too good to turn down. Cadiz tend to make games a bit of a battle, and they themselves picked up 104 cautions in La Liga last term, the eighth highest figure in the division.

If we look at the two meetings between the sides last season, there were four cautions in each, and I think there's a decent chance that Garcia will be on that naughty list.
