Cards/G

3.4

avg 5.3

Across 5 matches in all competitions this season, M. Ramirez has established a lenient profile, averaging just 3.4 cards per game-a significant 35% decrease relative to the league average of 5.28. This style likely benefits Coquimbo Unido, who average 2.63 yellow cards in recent matches, by allowing more physical play to go unpunished in the defensive third. For Club Nacional, this means they may find it harder to win tactical free-kicks near the box to compensate for their missing forwards.

Key Note

Runs 36% below league average on cards.
