This Sunday, as part of Matchday 4 of the 2025-2026 Ligue 1 season, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Lens (5th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 5:15 p.m., CET). The referee for the match has been appointed: Jérémie Pignard (38). He brings solid Ligue 1 experience, with 107 matches officiated.

He will be assisted by Cyril Mugnier and Cédric Favre, while Florent Batta will serve as fourth official. VAR duties will be handled by Wilfried Bien and William Lavis.

Yellow cards –
With Pignard in charge, it’s fair to expect yellow cards to come out quite easily during the match. While the national average is 3.53 per game (standard deviation 0.39), Pignard has shown an average of 4.05 yellows per match throughout his Ligue 1 career (Transfermarkt figures). This is significantly higher, which could be positive if it means better protection for players, provided there is also dialogue on the pitch.

Straight red cards –
The referee is only slightly stricter than average when it comes to straight reds. Pignard averages 0.18 dismissals per match compared to the national average of 0.17 (standard deviation 0.07). He doesn’t brandish them excessively, but he isn’t afraid to do so when necessary.

Second yellow cards –
Pignard has sent off players 0.13 times per match on average for a second yellow, compared to the league average of 0.09 (standard deviation 0.03). Coupled with his tendency to show plenty of yellows, this shows a clear pattern of severity.

Penalties –
Finally, regarding penalties, Pignard is again above average, awarding 0.40 penalties per match, compared to the Ligue 1 mean of 0.34 (standard deviation 0.08).
