Paris Saint-Germain vs Rennes Prediction and Betting Tips

Paris Saint-Germain face off with Rennes in a Ligue 1 match at the Parc des Princes this Saturday. Champions Paris Saint-Germain were surprisingly knocked off their perch by Lens last weekend and now sit in second, one point off the top.

Rennes, meanwhile, have seen a strong run of form move them up the table, and they are now fifth.

So, can Paris Saint-Germain return to form this weekend, or will Rennes' impressive streak continue?

Paris Saint-Germain vs Rennes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Paris Saint-Germain have won four of their last six games with Rennes, most recently hammering them 1-4 in March. However, it is worth noting that the last time Rennes beat PSG - in 2023 - the win came at the Parc des Princes.
Paris Saint-Germain's last game was a huge shocker, as they fell to a 1-0 defeat against Monaco despite their opponents being reduced to ten men late in the game. PSG have now lost two games this season, the same number they lost in the entirety of last season, despite only 14 games being played this time.
Rennes picked up a 1-0 win over Metz last weekend and have now won their last four games in a row, also beating Strasbourg, Paris FC and Monaco. Moreover, they are unbeaten in their last five, last falling to defeat on October 26th.
PSG's loss to Monaco was only the second time they have failed to score a goal in a match this season, with their only other blank coming in their loss to Marseille in September. Remarkably, it was also only the second time they have failed to score in the second half of a game this season.
Only four other Ligue 1 sides have scored more than Rennes' total of 24 this season, but remarkably, exactly half of their goals have come in their last five games since they hit a run of form.

Paris Saint-Germain vs Rennes Prediction

Rennes are on a really good run of form right now, meaning they might have a better shot against PSG than they might've had earlier in the season.

However, it's still hard to pick them to secure a result here. Paris Saint-Germain's loss to Monaco was a frustrating one, but it's hard to imagine them losing back-to-back games, particularly as they've had a full week's rest since that match.

Essentially, this is a free hit for Rennes, but it's not likely to be one they'll take, even if they can manage to score.

Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Rennes
