Paris FC Strong Enough at Home to Avoid Loss
Paris FC sit fifth after six games and have kept three clean sheets while conceding just 0.3 goals a game at Stade Jean Bouin. Rennes sit third yet concede 2.5 goals a game on their travels and have lost two of their last five league matches. The hosts average 1.7 goals a game in front of their own fans and have recorded three wins in their last five outings overall. Rennes have scored just 1.0 goal a game away from home this season. Although Rennes won both previous meetings, those results came without the current home advantage for Paris FC. Several Paris players are missing through injury which may limit their forward options. The game may hinge on whether Rennes can break down a compact Paris defence that has looked solid on home soil.
