Cards Stats by Matches — Rankings 2025/26
See which teams collect the most bookings — yellow + red weighted, every threshold from 3.5 cards and up.
How card stats are weighted and tracked
Cards are weighted: Yellow = 1 point, Red = 2 points. We show average card points per match plus the percentage of matches exceeding 3.5, 4.5 and 5.5 card thresholds. Card data is full-match only — half-time breakdowns aren't reliably available across leagues. High card counts reflect playing style, referee strictness, and league disciplinary culture.

About this ranking
This upcoming cards matches view ranks fixtures by combined card expectancy — both teams' cards per match shown side-by-side with referee context where available. Use it to scout matches where both teams carry high disciplinary records (high combined number), where playing styles clash physically, or where derby/rivalry fixtures are scheduled. Filter by sub-market line (Over 3.5/4.5/5.5) to focus on specific card-threshold scenarios. Pair with our corners matches view to identify high-intensity fixtures.
Frequently asked questions
How is combined card probability calculated for upcoming matches?
We blend both teams' historical cards-per-match averages and Over card-line hit rates to produce a combined card-expectancy signal. High combined values indicate fixtures with strong disciplinary expectation on both sides — typically when two physical or rivalry-heavy teams meet.
Which card threshold (3.5/4.5/5.5) should I track?
Over 4.5 is the most commonly quoted card line in football statistics. Over 3.5 surfaces most fixtures with moderate disciplinary expectation; Over 5.5 isolates fixtures expected to be high-intensity. Switch sub-market lines to compare match expectancy at each threshold.
Why is referee context shown for matches?
Referees vary dramatically in strictness — some carry cards-per-match averages 50% higher than league norms. Where referee assignment is known, we surface that context alongside team disciplinary records. Strict referee + physical team combinations often signal high-card fixtures.
How are upcoming matches ranked by combined card expectancy?
Each upcoming fixture blends both teams' historical cards-per-match averages and Over card-line hit rates into a combined card-expectancy ranking. Sort the matches table by combined value to surface fixtures with strong disciplinary expectation on both sides — typically when two physical sides or rivalry-heavy teams meet. Switch sub-market lines (Over 3.5/4.5/5.5) to compare match expectancy at each threshold, and check referee context where shown.
