Paris Saint-Germain vs Rennes prediction: Rennes to nick at least a point off Paris
Key stats
- PSG have lost two of their last five competitive fixtures (W3).
- Les Parisiens have failed to score just once in their last 10 games.
- Rennes are on a four-match winning streak in the top-flight.
- Les Rennais have lost just once across their last 12 matches.
Correct score prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 2-2 Rennes
A shock 1-0 defeat Monaco toppled PSG off their high horse, with Luis Enrique’s men now trailing league leaders Lens by a single point. In addition to that being their second loss of the season, it also marked just the second occasion in 34 league games where the Parisians have failed to find the back of the net.
Rennes’ arrival Parc des Princes is barely a welcome sight – the visitors now aiming to extend their impressive four-match winning streak. Habib Beye’s side are in an upward spiral, with only Lorient inflicting an away defeat on the visitors so far, as they remain undefeated in six consecutive trips.
Expect a hard-fought encounter to take place in Paris, with both sides needing a victory to fuel their respective objectives this season.
