Valuable and safe card bets here for this weekend

We’ve put together a safety ticket of 3 weekend matches and here are the tips!

The French championship is back in action, and the Ligue 1 points race is back on. After 17 rounds, PSG lead the table with 5 points ahead of Nice. So a title defence is obvious. But now, let’s see a safety-card combination for this weekend’s games from 22bet!

Monaco-Reims

One of France’s most experienced referees, Francois Letexier, will be in charge of this match. The home side are the favourites in a meeting between a team with CL aspirations and a solid mid-table side, but we’d like to draw readers’ attention to an interesting statistic. Monaco are the toughest team in the league with an average of 2.47 yellow cards. The team from the Principality is not sparing with fouls at home either, with 17 yellow cards in 8 games. Letexier is not a shy referee. So there could be plenty of cautions for Monaco in a close game.

Rennes-Nice

Last year’s surprise team and this year’s surprise team go head-to-head on Saturday night at the Route de Lorient, with 38-year-old Bastien Dechepy conducting. Neither team is really rough this year, with the two averaging a combined 3.52 cards and the Spurs’ record 21 yellows in 7 games. Our accumulator’s pick in this one hasn’t lost since 2018, and with Dechepy, it won’t be a loser this time either.

Lens-PSG

PSG will take on Lens in the round robin, who seem to have failed to make any real headway with Luis Enrique. In the league, of course, Mbappe’s side have little to worry about and the Super Cup remains in the capital. A win against Lens is also likely. Although it’s worth noting that the home side have yet to lose at home to PSG this season. These games have all been “won” by PSG by 2 cards to Lens’ 9. Our tip would lose this one if the Parisians pick up at least two more yellows.
