Real Valladolid v OsasunaSunday 20 April, 13:00Live on Premier Sports 2

The cards alarm is ringing ahead of this game in La Liga on Sunday.

First up, we've got two teams in the Spanish top flight's top six when it comes to cards received.

And, secondly, the match is being officiated by Spain's strictest referee this season, Jesus Gil Manzano, whose average of 6.27 yellows per game is far and away the highest. He's also shown six red cards, the second highest such figure.

Notably, he showed no fewer than eight cards to Osasuna players in their only previous meeting this season, back in January.

Leg 1: Valladolid over 2.5 cards

My approach is three-fold.

First, let's back the hosts for over 2.5 cards.

That's occurred in six of their last eight games and they are desperate for a result here given relegation is staring them in the face.

Leg 2: Osasuna over 1.5 cards

Second, add Osasuna for over 1.5 cards.

They've landed this bet in 12 of their last 14 matches.

Leg 3: Lucas Torro to be shown a card

Finally, let's take a delve into the player-card market and select Lucas Torro to be shown a card.

Osasuna's defensive midfielder has been carded in 10 of his 28 La Liga games this season yet he's available at 13/5 to repeat the trick in this contest.

The treble pays around 11/2.

The obvious concern is that Valladolid won't be competitive enough - they are rock bottom of the Primera Division with Osasuna up in 13th.

However, the visitors have struggled on the road, winning only one of their 15 games, so I'm happy to get involved with this one.
