PSG v Brest – referee appointed for the Matchday 33 clash | OneFootball

This Sunday, as part of Matchday 33 of Ligue 1 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Brest (12th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 9 p.m., broadcast on Ligue1+). The referee for the match has been selected: Jérôme Brisard (40). He has significant Ligue 1 experience, with 175 matches to his name.

The man with the whistle will be assisted by Alexis Auger and Steven Torregrossa. Geoffrey Kubler will serve as the fourth official. And video assistance will be handled by Pierre Gaillouste and Wilfried Bien.

Yellow cards –

With Mr. Brisard in charge, we can expect yellow cards to be handed out “normally” during the match. Indeed, while the national average per match is 3.53 (standard deviation of 0.39), Sunday’s referee has given an average of 3.54 yellow cards per match over his entire Ligue 1 career (figures from Transfermarkt). Let’s hope it comes with player protection and dialogue.

Straight red cards –

The man with the whistle this Sunday is stricter when it comes to straight reds. Indeed, Brisard averages 0.23 send-offs per match in his career, while the national average per match is 0.17 (standard deviation of 0.07). So he is not the type to let bad fouls or behavior go unpunished.

Second yellow cards –

Jérôme Brisard is not in the habit of sending off a player after a second yellow in a Ligue 1 match. The national average stands at 0.09 (standard deviation of 0.03), while he is at 0.05. With relatively few yellows but reds coming quickly, one might think that “orange” fouls more often end in a straight red, but that he can be lenient when it comes to a second yellow.

Penalties –

Finally, when it comes to penalties, Sunday’s referee is above average, with 0.37 penalties awarded per match, while the Ligue 1 average is 0.34 (standard deviation of 0.08).
