Build-Up — the pass map

Rennes

The football question
How does Rennes progress possession from defence into attack — and who runs it?

Build-up passes grouped into 5 real categories — not the old zone grid, not raw individual lines: CB (passer is a centre-back), Wide→FB, Central, Long Wide, Long Central.

◆ Vision AI Insight
Rennes build predominantly down the left, with Samba as the fulcrum (27 build-up passes). Only 26% of their build-up passes actually advance a third — the rest is lateral circulation, the hallmark of a possession-controlling side that circulates patiently in midfield before progressing. Their single most-repeated pattern is C def → RHS def (11×).

Chance creation — how the shots come

Rennes

The question
Where do Rennes's chances actually come from?

Every shot sorted twice. First by the kind of attack: an attacking transition (the shot came within 15 seconds of winning the ball), a settled attack (open play after the team had the ball), or a set piece.

On-Ball Value — who moved the game

Every pass, carry, take-on, shot and ball win is worth the change it made to the chance of scoring minus the chance of conceding in the next 10 seconds.

Ball-Loss Map — where attacks die

Rennes

Every turnover has a location and a cause. This is a rate, not a raw count — the share of pass attempts from each zone that end in a turnover, so a zone they simply play through more often doesn't automatically look riskier.

Lost in the defensive third

Their weakest zone is the right wing in the defensive third: 45% of 22 pass attempts there are lost (10 times). Separately, 37% of all losses happen in the attacking third — a fair share happen deeper, which invites transitions.
