Prediction
Predicted score
Our Poisson model rates each team's attack and defence mostly on expected goals, the quality of the chances it makes and allows (blended with last season's ratings early on), then weighs head-to-head history and injuries to calculate the most likely outcome.

In brief

Fifth-placed Paris FC host third-placed Stade Rennais. Both sides arrive in good form, and Stade Rennais lost their last game after winning the three before it. Paris FC are unbeaten at home and Stade Rennais have won one of their two away games. Paris FC have one of the league's tightest defences; Stade Rennais are the league's top scorers. Both squads have similar injury lists. The model makes Paris FC slight favourites and expects plenty of goals. The model gives Paris FC a better chance than the bookmakers do.

Key factors in prediction

Statistics baseline: 2026 season
Paris FC vs Stade Rennais
Attack strength
0.93 / 1.17
Defence strength
1.17 / 0.84
Head-to-head
0.96 / 1.04
Injury factor
1.00 / 1.00
No units: every number compares a team with an average Premier League side, which scores 1.00. Attack is a team's scoring rate at home or away (built from goals and expected goals) against the league average, so 1.16 means 16% more than average. Defence is the same for goals conceded, turned round so higher is better. Head-to-head and injuries nudge each side's expected goals: 1.15 adds 15%, 0.85 takes 15% off, 1.00 changes nothing.

Where we differ from the bookmakers, they have usually been right: in our backtests, backing the outcomes our model rated higher lost money. Treat a difference as something to look into, not a bet.
