Bowen isn&#8217;t overly foul-prone (0.55 per 90), but has committed at least one foul in four of his last seven.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;ll also have a small bet on BOWEN TO COMMIT 2+ FOULS at 5\/1, with seven of the last 13 opponents to face Gudmundsson making at least two fouls.<\/p>\n<p>Odds correct at 16:40 BST (2\/4\/26)<\/p>\n<p>More from Sporting LifeSafer gambling<\/p>\n<p>We are committed in our support of safer gambling.
