World Cup 2026 Betting Tip of the Day: Card-happy Fernandez to be Argentina’s Hatchet Man
Ben McAleer
Enzo Fernandez was one of Argentina’s key players at the 2022 World Cup. The midfielder wasn’t a first team regular at the start of the tournament. However, once he came into the side, he gave the national team the required balance to go the distance.
Now, Fernandez is a first-team regular for the South American powerhouse. And he’s expected to play a vital role as Argentina look to go back-to-back on the world stage.
Of course, given his style of play, Fernandez is one who often ends up in hot water with officials. It comes with the territory, after all.
The 25-year-old received 10 yellow cards in the Premier League last season, the fifth most in the division.
In addition, Fernandez was carded in Qatar four years ago, and he is at 9/2 to be Argentina’s most carded player at the 2026 World Cup with LiveScore Bet*.
His style of play combined with his animated or frustrated reactions towards officials could well see Fernandez work his way into the referee’s book more than once this summer.
