Comparative Team Statistics: Paris FC vs Rennes

Home advantage held last time out

The two clubs have met twice recently, and the home side won on both occasions. Paris FC won 1-0 at home in November, then Rennes returned the favour with a 2-1 win on their own patch in May.

It's only two matches, so it doesn't tell us much about current form, but it's a reminder that neither side has dominated this fixture regardless of venue.

A tight top half

Paris FC sit third with 11 points from five matches, one place and one point above Rennes in fifth. Both have three wins each, but Paris FC have picked up two draws to Rennes's one, and haven't lost yet this season.

The gap is thin enough that neither side can claim a clear edge from the table alone.

League position alone doesn't strongly separate these two.

Attacking threats to watch

Sinayoko has been Paris FC's main source of goals, with four in five matches this season. For Rennes, Lepaul has three in the same span, with Thomasson chipping in two assists to help create chances.

There's no fresh injury or suspension information to factor in here, so this is about who's been getting on the scoresheet rather than who might be missing.
