PSG/Nantes – Referee appointed for the postponed Matchday 26 clash | OneFootball

This Wednesday, in a postponed match from Ligue 1 Matchday 26, 2025-2026, Paris Saint-Germain (1st) will face Nantes (17th) at the Parc des Princes (kick-off at 7 p.m., live on Ligue1+). The referee for the match has been appointed: Clément Turpin (43 years old). He has growing experience in Ligue 1, as this is his first season and he has officiated 16 matches so far.

The man with the whistle will be assisted by Nicolas Danos and Benjamin Pages. As for the role of fourth official, it will be held by Brendan Roffet. And video assistance will be handled by Marc Bollengier and Aurélien Petit.

Yellow cards –

With Mr. Turpin in charge, we can expect relatively few yellow cards during the match. Indeed, while the national average per match is 3.53 (standard deviation of 0.39), Wednesday’s referee has handed out an average of 3.16 yellow cards per match over his entire Ligue 1 career (figures from Transfermarkt). Hopefully, that will be thanks to good game management, while still ensuring player protection.

Straight red cards –

The man with the whistle this Wednesday is slightly stricter when it comes to straight reds. Indeed, Turpin averages 0.20 dismissals per match in his career, while the national average per game is 0.17 (standard deviation of 0.07). So he is neither the type to let bad challenges go unpunished nor to hand out sanctions in every direction.

Second yellow cards –

Clément Turpin is not particularly used to sending off a player after a second yellow card in a Ligue 1 match. The national average stands at 0.09 (standard deviation of 0.03), while he is at 0.07. With few yellows and reds, that is not illogical.

Penalties –

Finally, when it comes to penalties, Wednesday’s referee is below average, with 0.31 penalties awarded per match, whereas the Ligue 1 average is 0.34 (standard deviation of 0.08).
