A Referee Who Is Strict on Fouls but Cautious with Penalties
- Yellow Cards: Turpin hands out fewer yellow cards than the national average (3.19 per match vs. 3.53).
- Direct Red Cards: He is more likely to show a straight red (0.20 per match vs. 0.17).
- Second Yellow Cards: He gives fewer second yellow cards than the league average (0.08 vs. 0.09).
- Penalties: He awards fewer penalties than the Ligue 1 average (0.32 vs. 0.34).
With this officiating profile, the match is expected to flow smoothly but could see strict punishment for serious fouls. This will be an important factor in a high-stakes encounter, where PSG aims to extend its lead at the top, while Monaco looks to close the gap in the standings.
