REFEREE PROFILE

Steve Martin, 136 maçlık kariyerinde oyunun akışına müdahale etmekten kaçınan bir yaklaşım benimsiyor. Maç başına 4.5 sarı kart ortalaması ile lig ortalamasının üzerinde kart dağıtımı yapıyor. İlk kartı 30. dakikada gösteriyor — takımlara uyum süresi tanıyor. Kartlarının %62'i ikinci yarıdadır — gerilim arttıkça sertleşiyor. Gol tarafında, Steve Martin maçlarında ortalama 2.6 gol atılıyor. Üst 2.5 oranı %45 ile düşük gollü maçlara eğilimli. İlk gol genelde 31. dakikada geliyor. Penaltı kararlarında ev sahibi lehine hafif bir eğilim mevcut (+2.00).

Win rate is that team's, not the home side's. Card bars are scaled against the busiest team; a highlighted bar means this referee books that team noticeably more or less than his own average of 4.53.
