Red cards: 0.09; League 0.14

Decided by the teams

Differences here are mostly chance: goals do not follow the referee.

Both teams score: 51%; League 49%
Home wins: 52%; League 43%

What to expect next

Cards against the league average: −0.09 a match
Fouls against the league average: +0.6 a match

A record is part referee and part luck. Over 65 matches, about 63% of a difference in cards has held in later matches, so this is the difference to expect, not the full −0.14.
