The two sides

Paris Saint Germain carry a model rating of 7.13 against 6.81 for Rennes. The scale is anchored so that an average side in one of Europe's big five leagues sits at 6.85, and it is adjusted for the strength of each team's league, so the two numbers are comparable even across borders.

The model expects goals

Under the hood the model expects 2.79 goals for Paris Saint Germain and 1.07 for Rennes. Those two numbers, not the scoreline, are what the model actually estimates; everything else is derived from them.

Paris Saint Germain rate 1.32 in attack and 0.75 in defence, where 1 is league average and a lower defensive number is better; Rennes rate 1.02 and 1.12.

That points to 74% for over two and a half goals and 62% for both teams to score.

The three most likely scorelines are 2-1 (9%), 2-0 (8%), 3-1 (8%).
