Despite only winning two Ligue 1 matches this season, Rennes has shown stability. Although their victories are infrequent, their losses are even rarer. Currently, Rennes has accumulated 11 points from their first seven matches in Ligue 1, with two wins and five draws. However, their unbeaten streak came to an end on Thursday night, as Bruno Genesio’s team suffered a 1-0 loss against Villarreal in the Europa League. Interestingly, when analyzing the statistics, Rennes had a higher expected goals (xG) value of 2.08 compared to Villarreal’s 0.36. Despite having numerous opportunities to score, Rennes failed to capitalize on them. Now, Rennes faces the top team in Ligue 1, and a victory would help mend the wounds created by Villarreal.
Despite being considered the top French team, PSG currently trails behind league leaders Monaco and Brest by two points, having accumulated only 12 points in the first seven league rounds. PSG’s recent performance has been less than stellar, with only two victories in their last five matches across all competitions. Their latest defeat came from a 4-1 loss against Newcastle, where they possessed the ball 69% of the time but struggled to convert their dominance into goals. This loss further highlights PSG’s lackluster away record this season, with only one victory on the road. As a result, their upcoming match against Rennes may see them lacking confidence.
Rennes vs PSG pick: Over 2.5 goals
Rennes have been finding the back of the net frequently at their home ground, Roazhon Park. They have netted a total of 15 goals in five matches played there this season. In contrast, PSG has surpassed the 2.5 goal mark in five out of their last seven games. Considering these statistics, betting on over 2.5 goals seems like the most favorable option for this match.

Rennes team news
Martin Terrier, their star player, made a triumphant comeback to football after a nine-month hiatus due to a cruciate ligament rupture, in the match against Villarreal.
Terrier made his entrance to the match during the 81st minute, therefore we shouldn’t have high expectations from him in the upcoming weeks. However, it is fantastic news for Rennes that he has made a successful recovery.

PSG team news
PSG is facing significant challenges before their match against Rennes.
Presnel Kimpembe, Sergio Rico, Nuno Mendes, and Marco Asensio are out due to injuries.
On Friday, the French Football Association suspended Randal Kolo Muani, Ousmane Dembele, Achraf Hakimi, and Layvin Kurzawa to one game after homophobic chants after one of the games.
The majority of these players are essential members of the starting lineup.
Layvin Kurzawa was likely the only player out of the four who wouldn’t start on Sunday.
Can Luis Enrique lead PSG to Champions League glory?
