08/12/2018. Brentford - Swansea. Championship (England). Cards

In the current preview, the team of Corner-stats.com wants to talk about the quality of fouls and cards at a football match. Many people understand that the cards and fouls are interconnected, but as each team has its own style of play, therefore fouls turn into cards according to different scenarios. Logically, the most evident characteristic of this is the fouls/cards ratio. And the bigger the fouls/cards ratio is, the softer a team plays.

Let's return to Championship league, and look at the season 2018/19 table, exactly on the relation fouls/yellow cards (the teams have already played 20 games, so we can already talk about the playing styles of the current season):

 
Having ordered the table on individual total (IT1), you can see that Swansea plays in the purest style (only 1 yellow card for 10 fouls), but Brentford plays almost 2 times rougher and the team is in the top three: 6 fouls for 1 yellow card.

Now a few words about the teams' tournament position: both teams are in the lower middle of the table and this season they no longer claim to qualify for the Premier League, while Swansea is 4 points ahead of Brentford. It is logical to assume that this will be a match of approximately equal teams, although a bookmaker prefers Brentford (the odds on Brentford win is 1.50).

The team of Corner-stats.com considers Asian handicap +0.5 on yellow cards for Brentford at odds 1.7 at PariMatch to be convincing.
