Ligue 1 referee40 matches on record15.5% conversion

Over the last 10 Ligue 1 games Romain Lissorgue has officiated, the average is 3.40 cards a match — 12% below the league average of 3.87.

These are Romain Lissorgue's own match figures — the raw card and foul counts from the matches covered. They're not adjusted for how aggressive the two teams are or whether it's a derby. The model layers those in — the referee tendency, each player's booking rate and an opponent card-induction factor — to price a specific leg. That combined verdict is the locked price and edge.

Career profile

The two numbers that matter are vs league — the multiplier the model applies to a player's booking chance — and conversion, the share of fouls Romain Lissorgue turns into bookings. Conversion, not the raw foul count, is where a referee's real card tendency lives. Career figures across every Ligue 1 season on record.

Frequently asked

How many cards does Romain Lissorgue give per game?

Romain Lissorgue averages 4.05 cards a game across 40 Ligue 1 matches — 5% above the league average of 3.87. On a Romain Lissorgue appointment, the model multiplies every player's booking chance by 1.05.

Is Romain Lissorgue a strict referee?

About average. The honest measure is foul-to-card conversion — the share of fouls that become bookings — and Romain Lissorgue runs at 15.5% against a league average of 15.8%. Foul counts barely vary between officials; the rate at which a foul becomes a booking is where referees genuinely differ.

Does Romain Lissorgue's record change bet builder card prices?

It should. The referee is the single biggest factor in the to-be-carded market, and the appointment is public before kick-off — so a strict official on a combative player is the archetypal card edge. The player cards guide walks through exactly how the model turns a tendency like this into a price.

How reliable is Romain Lissorgue's card rate?

It rests on 40 career matches, a solid record. The model shrinks a referee's tendency toward the league average when the sample is thin and discounts its own confidence for officials with young records, so a number like this never gets trusted beyond what the evidence earns.

Rates shown are figures from public match data for context; the model adds shrinkage and an opponent factor, and discounts its confidence for thin referee records, before flagging any card as value. It compares against the bookmaker's price as offered — card markets are priced one side only, so that price still carries the bookmaker's margin. 18+ — please gamble responsibly.
