PSG have a big task on their hands as they look to bounce back when Rennes visits Parc des Princes this weekend. The visitors’ recent surge has lifted them to fifth in the standings, six points behind second-placed PSG. Let’s have a look at the match prediction.
This will pass as one of PSG’s toughest starts to Ligue 1. They have failed to win five of their opening 14 league games. Two of those five matches were defeats, and the latest was just last week, away to Monaco.
The champions fell 1-0 courtesy of Takumi Minamino’s lone strike. None of their defeats has come at home, though, and PSG will be defending that good record.
Rennes are on a hot streak, posting four straight wins, all in Ligue 1. This has seen the visitors rise into the European football slots.
They will be keen on downing a giant here. Rennes are coming off a 1-0 win against Metz, marking only their second clean sheet. There could be a need to improve defensively, but Rennes have been outscoring more of their opponents.
Twice in the last four matches, Rennes scored four goals, and in six of the last 10 games, they scored at least two goals. Only Nice have managed to beat Rennes in their last 10 outings.
