How is the foul matchup read calculated?

Where do these foul stats come from?

All numbers come from match-level Sportmonks data ingested into Statz - 10 Sweden fixtures in the active window for 2026. Player odds come from Bet365 player markets when priced.

What counts as a qualifying appearance?

A player must have featured for at least 20 minutes in a fixture for that match to count toward their foul rate and form. Cameo appearances are excluded so the rates aren't diluted.

Does the referee affect foul counts?
