PSG host Rennes this Saturday (9:05 p.m., Ligue1+) for Matchday 15, and the referee for the encounter is now known: Marc Bollengier, 39, a new face in Ligue 1 with already 16 matches officiated this season.
Marc Bollengier will be assisted by Thomas Luczynski and Yannick Boutry on the lines, Geoffrey Kubler as the fourth official, and a VAR duo composed of Willy Delajod and Christian Guillard.
A calm referee with decisive tendencies
And the trend is clear: Bollengier is not the type to hand out cards in bulk. With 3.35 yellows per match, he is below the national average (3.53). Direct reds? Even rarer: 0.14 dismissals per game, also lower than the norm.
However, caution with second bookings: the referee sends players off more often after a first yellow (0.12 compared to the 0.09 average). In other words, one warning can quickly become fatal.
Last point: penalties. Bollengier does not hesitate when there is contact in the box. He has awarded 0.42 per match, well above the national average (0.34). A rather calm referee, but one who does not flinch when making heavy decisions. PSG and Rennes are warned: on Saturday, duel management could weigh heavily.
