Rennes have won both of their meetings with Paris FC, and they arrive at Stade Jean Bouin third in Ligue 1, two places and two points above the hosts. Kick-off is Sunday 18 October, 6:15pm Kenya time.
Paris FC come in off a 0-1 defeat at Lorient on 10 October, and a win would lift them above Rennes on points. The hosts have the tighter defence in this competition, while Rennes have the sharper attack.

Paris FC's absences

Rennes have the head-to-head
Rennes won 1-0 at Paris FC in November 2025, and they won the return 2-1 at home in May 2026. Both results came in Ligue 1, so Rennes have won both meetings between the clubs.
What the numbers say
Paris FC have kept three clean sheets to Rennes' one, but they have also failed to score three times, against one for Rennes. Rennes' leading scorer is E. Lepaul with four goals and no assists, level with Paris FC's L. Sinayoko, who has four goals and one assist. A. Thomasson adds two goals and two assists for Rennes.
The betting market's view at the time of writing is 41% home, 29% draw and 30% away. That comes from Pinnacle's odds with the margin removed, so it reflects the market rather than our opinion. On the numbers, the market leans to Paris FC, while Rennes' scoring gives the visitors their strongest case.
