Well we are going to look for cards again in the Spanish Second Division despite the red (for a card) last week. The teams, what is at stake and the referee make me enter yes or yes.
Duel of the fight for the descent. Extremadura is in nineteenth place, in relegation places with 23 points. the elche right now is fifteenth, in positions where it would be saved, with 28 points. Vital duel for both and even more when the Elche has two complicated starts to Lugo and Mallorca.
They face two very good teams in this regard. Elche, is the fourth team that receives more admonitions. It has received so far 73 yellows and 2 reds in 24 matches (in reality they are 25 but one is “vitual”, since it is the 1-0 against the Reus that was not played), which leaves us an average of 3.2 points per card per game. Pretty good numbers.
On the other hand, Extremadura is in the TOP, it is the highest-scoring team (shares leadership with Tenerife). 75 yellows and 3 reds in 25 games, which leave us an average of 32.5 points per card per game.
Adding both balance sheets we would walk over 65 points per card.
As for the collegiate, we have already gone with him in other occasions. It will be the Cantabrian Lopez Toca, who is the third most over the league in the league (and the two that have ahead have missed one more game). His numbers are quite good, he has shown 82 yellow cards and 2 red cards for double warning on 12 dates. They add a total of 87 points per card, which leaves us a good average of 72.5 points per game.
He has refereed 12 matches so far, surpassing the line in 8 of them (70-80-100-80-85-80-85-60) and remaining in 4 of them in (40-50-50-50). Three reds would be for one card.
He has refereed to Extremadura on one occasion this season, showing 7 yellows.
Al Elche also hit him on one occasion, in a duel also hot for the descent against Cordoba, showing 7 yellow and one red for double reprimand.
In two of the reds is involved the Reus, which was the most under team in this regard.
I expect an intense and hard match from the start, as there is a lot at stake. I lower the stake by the red of the other day that makes me distrust something, although the numbers invite to enter.
PREDICTION: Elche to win @ 1,95
