This Wednesday, as part of the 2023 Champions Trophy, Paris Saint-Germain (1st in Ligue 1) will face Toulouse (16th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 8:45 p.m., broadcast on Amazon Prime). The referee for the match has been chosen, it will be Hakim Ben El Hadj (41 years old). Who has quite extensive experience in Ligue 1, with 117 matches under his belt.
The man with the whistle will be assisted by Gwenaël Pasqualotti and Julien Aube. As for the role of 4th referee, it will be occupied by Mathieu Vernice. And video assistance will be provided by Benoît Millot and William Lavis
With Mr. Ben El Hadj on the whistle, we can expect yellow cards to be given very quickly during the match. Indeed, while the national average per match is 3,53 (standard deviation of 0.39), the referee on Wednesday gave 3,74 yellows per match on average throughout his career in Ligue 1 (figures Transfer market). It’s very high, let’s hope it’s to calm the players and not simply by sanctioning without dialogue.
The man with the whistle this Wednesday is much less severe on the side of direct exclusions, since he has a weak tendency when it comes to distributing direct red cards. Indeed, Ben El Hadj is 0,12 exclusion per match in his career while the national average per match is 0,17 (standard deviation of 0.07). Which goes in the direction of sanctions which do not go in all directions.
Finally, Hakim Ben El Hadj does not particularly have the habit of excluding a player after his first yellow card in a match without being afraid of it, since he gave a second warning to the same player 0,09 times per match on average. Which is at the level of the national average (standard deviation of 0.03). With a lot of yellows initially and rarer direct reds, we find a certain logic. Finally, in terms of penalties, the man with the whistle on Saturday is lower than average with 0,27 penalty whistled per match, while in Ligue 1 the average is 0,34 (standard deviation of 0.08).
