PSG vs Rennes Prediction

PSG Form

PSG have been a little inconsistent recently, as they beat Nantes by 4-2. Following that up proved too difficult, as they lost 2-0 against Bayern Munich, before claiming three points in a 1-2 win against Brest. PSG have been in potent form at Parc des Princes, winning no less than five of the past six Ligue 1 matches here. They remained without defeat, as they drew once, hammered in 15 goals while letting in eight.

Rennes Form

In their previous three matches, Rennes beat Nantes 0-1, lost 0-1 against Marseille and drew 0-0 with Auxerre. Rennes managed to win just once in their past six away games in the Ligue 1. On top of winning once they also drew one as well as losing four, while scoring ten time and letting in five.

A home win for PSG is the obvious choice at Parc des Princes. With the attacking qualities on display here, it has the makings of a high scoring affair when Rennes come visiting.

PSG have taken 24 points from their last 13 games against teams from the top half of the Ligue 1 table. They won seven of these matches with a scoreline of 24 goals to 15. In the last seven games against teams in the top six, Rennes claimed one wins and six points. They scored six and conceded nine goals. PSG are looking at a record of 21 wins, three draws and three defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Rennes are looking at 14 wins, five draws and eight defeats in the Ligue 1.
