Percentiles from 0 to 100: 90 means better than 90% of clubs in the league, or in the world. Higher means more of that quality. The profile describes the club. It is not part of the score. Missing bars mean there is not enough data yet. How the profile works.
This season they are taking 0.86 points a game from 7 matches, while their performances have been worth 1.04. That is 1.3 points fewer than the football deserved, which our model calls fair. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1490, a tougher schedule than the Ligue 1 average.
For context, the next club above them in the Ligue 1 is Le Havre, rated 1399, and the next one below is Troyes, rated 1311. The gap to the strongest side in the division, PSG, is 490 rating points.
Compared with the rest of their league, their style stands out for very low dribbling.
The Ligue 1 itself is 4th in our world league ranking, where its average club is 0.18 goals per 90 worse than the top-five average.
How sure are we? Confidence in this rating is high: the range of 162nd to 489th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
