Bayern Munich vs Real Madrid
Clement Turpin
Frenchman Clément Turpin is one of UEFA’s top-rated officials, taking charge of the 2021 Europa League Final and then the Champions League Final the following year.
In 24 matches so far this season, he has produced 83 yellow cards and six reds, an average of 3.7 cards per 90.
Turpin took charge of Real Madrid’s victory in Naples in October, booking four players that night, while his most-recent Bayern Munich fixture came a year ago, cautioning ten players as they drew 1-1 with Manchester City.
Joshua Kimmich to be carded
Joshua Kimmich only has three yellow cards and a red to his name this season, sent off against Darmstadt in October, but has been cautioned in two of his last four Champions League appearances, booked at the Olimpico against Lazio, before being both booked and scoring the winner against Arsenal 13 days ago.
Deployed as an auxiliary right-back, up against Vinícius Júnior, we can see Kimmich adding to his card count.
Aurelien Tchouameni to be carded
Aurélien Tchouaméni sat out the second leg victory at the Etihad suspended, having accumulated three yellow cards in six Champions League appearances so far.
In all competitions, the Frenchman has been cautioned ten times during this campaign, most-recently at Anoeta against Real Sociedad on Friday night.
4+ cards
Bayern Munich have collected multiple cards in 11 of their last 21 outings, including both legs against Arsenal, while Real Madrid have done so in 16 of their last 20, including each of their last three fixtures.

What is card betting?
Betting on players or teams to be shown cards can be one of the most rewarding markets in football betting.
Goals can be hard to come by, while not every player can gets shots away during a game, but every player on the pitch is capable of picking up a yellow card for any kind of offence.
Card betting is simply betting on an individual player to be shown a yellow or a red card during the match, but can also be used to back a minimum/maximum number of cards to be shown during the game on either side.
Betting on cards can be a good way to boost the odds in a bet builder, and with the greater focus on VAR, referees and with so much individual data now available, we are able to look at which referees show the most cards, how many cards they show on average per game and which players tend to attract the attention of the officials.
With all this data, card betting is one of the markets available to us that we can most accurately predict.
How to bet on cards?
Card betting is very simple, with several options available to you whether you want to place a single, a double, make it an accumulator or build it into your bet builder.
If you just have a hunch that a certain player will be carded during a game, you can find their odds and place money on it, but there is far more to it than that. With our tips, we will provide some of the data behind a game that will help you build your bet into several picks, which will help you increase the odds.
As well as focusing on one or more players to be carded in a match, you can also back a certain number of cards to be shown in the match itself, or to each side. For example, you can bet on over/under three yellow cards in a game, both teams to receive a card or you can combine them all into one bet and make it into an accumulator, or make an acca across multiple matches/leagues.
