La Liga 2
Spain's second tier, and one of the longest seasons in Europe at 42 rounds. Matches are famously tight and low-scoring, so its goal lines are priced very differently from most of Europe. Two clubs go up automatically and a play-off decides the third.
31 referees have taken charge of La Liga 2 matches this season or last. Below is each one's record in the La Liga 2 since 2021: cards and fouls a match against the league average of the same seasons, and over 2.5.
This season (2026/2027) the La Liga 2 averages 5.52 cards and 27.1 fouls a match.

Sorted by cards a match, those with 20 or more matches in the league first. A referee's record is part referee and part luck: about half of a difference in cards carries over to their next matches, and goals do not follow the referee at all.
