Referee Szabolcs Kovacs has an average strictness profile in Liga I, issuing 4.53 cards per game over 24 matches this season, which is only slightly above the league average of 4.35 cards. His tendency to award penalties at 0.29 per game is notable. Given the high stakes of this Superliga Qualification Final, expect a tightly contested match where his average strictness could lead to card accumulation, particularly if the game becomes fractious in the second half. However, with low confidence data, avoid strong conclusions on specific card counts.
