Juventus vs Stade Rennais
Our model puts a Juventus win at 59.7% in this UEFA Europa League fixture — a moderate lean. Expected goals run 1.81 to 0.85.
What this probability has been worth
A number is worth what it has been worth. Across 1,941 predictions published before kick-off and scored against the result afterwards, the calls we priced between 55% and 65% came in 50.7% of the time — 355 fixtures in that band. That is 8.8 points below what the model claimed, so read this figure as optimistic: in this range it has been saying more than it could support. We publish the gap rather than quietly shading the number, because a record that only shows its good bands is not a record.
The ratings gap
Juventus carry a rating of 1826 against 1732 for Stade Rennais, a gap of 94 points. On our scale that is the difference between a side that controls most of its fixtures and one that has to earn each of them. It is also the single largest input into the probabilities above.
Attack against defence
The single rating hides where the mismatch actually sits. Splitting it, Juventus's attack should find room against Stade Rennais's defence, by 173 points. That is the mechanism behind the expected-goals line rather than a separate opinion about it.
How often they shoot
Juventus take 18.4 shots a match against an average of 11.9. Volume like that usually means territory rather than precision, and it is why a side can dominate a match and still not win it.
