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 1.38 points a game from 8 matches, while their performances have been worth 0.82. That is 4.4 points more than the football deserved, which our model calls lucky. Their opponents this season have averaged a rating of 1457, about the league average.

For context, the next club above them in the Ligue 1 is Auxerre, rated 1448, and the next one below is Angers SCO, rated 1410. The gap to the strongest side in the division, PSG, is 403 rating points.

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 90th to 270th is where the club's true world rank sits four times in five. Results to 25 Oct 2026.
