PSG is 24 games unbeaten in the league, so coming up against 11th-placed Rennes, you would expect a straightforward victory

Rennes host league leaders PSG at Roazhon Park in a French Ligue 1 clash on Saturday. A high-scoring contest is expected here but PSG’s superior quality should give them the edge in an exciting encounter.

The hosts enter this clash off the back of a dominant 4-0 league win over Montpellier, marking their fourth victory in five matches. This resurgence follows a dismal start to the year, where they suffered five straight defeats across all competitions.

Despite their turnaround, home form remains a concern, with three defeats in their last five league outings. However, Habib Beye’s men remain solid going forward, scoring nine goals in their last five Ligue 1 matches.

PSG are coming off a 1-0 Champions League defeat to Liverpool, their first loss of 2025 in all competitions. They will consider that result a minor blip and will be keen to make a swift return to winning ways having maintained an unbeaten record so far this season in Ligue 1.

The Parisians have been relentless in attack this season, claiming multiple one-sided wins like the 4-1 victory over Lille last time out in Ligue 1. However, defensive frailties persist, with Luis Enrique’s men failing to keep a clean sheet in nine of their last 10 league matches.

PSG have a 33-21 advantage with 12 draws from 66 previous matches against Rennes. The Parisians have also won the last three meetings and claimed a 3-1 victory in the reverse fixture back in September.

Rennes: Samba, Jacquet, Rouault, Brassier, Assignon, James, Matusiwa, Fofana, Truffert, Blas, Kalimuendo.
PSG: Donnarumma, Hakimi, Marquinhos, Kimpembe, Mendes, Neves, Vetinha, Ruiz, Dembele, Lee, Ramos.
