Paris FC - Rennes

Paris FC aim to rediscover their attacking rhythm after a narrow defeat to Lorient as they prepare for matchday 7 of the Ligue 1 season on 18 October 2026. Hosting at Stade Jean Bouin, the home side will look to their expected XI, featuring the creative midfield trio of Ilan Kebbal, Maxime Lopez, and Pierre Lees-Melou, to break down a visiting side currently riding a wave of momentum. Kevin Trapp remains the anchor in goal for a Paris outfit that previously impressed by putting three goals past Marseille earlier this season.

Rennes arrive in fine fettle, buoyed by a convincing 4-1 victory over Auxerre and a midweek Europa League win against OFI Crete. With Mousa Tamari and Esteban Lepaul leading the line, the visitors have demonstrated significant goal-scoring threat in recent weeks. While Rennes secured a 2-1 win in their most recent meeting on 10 May 2026, Paris FC will be determined to reverse that trend in this latest encounter.
