While Rennes continue the search for a replacement for the recently sacked Habib Beye, they welcome league leaders Paris Saint-Germain to Roazhon Park on Friday for matchday 22 of Ligue 1.
A run of poor results saw the Brittany side part ways with Beye on Monday, with the 48-year-old leaving the club sixth in the table, just one point above Strasbourg. Les Parisiens, meanwhile, arrive two points clear at the summit following a blistering spell of form.
Our Rennes vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction offers a clear outlook on the contest, alongside additional Ligue 1 betting tips.

Rennes vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction: Les Parisiens to reign supreme?
Key stats:
- PSG have scored before half-time in six of their last seven Ligue 1 matches.
- Rennes have both scored and conceded in six of their last seven home league games.
- PSG have won each of their last seven Ligue 1 fixtures.
- Rennes have lost their last four matches in all competitions.
Correct score prediction: Rennes 1–3 PSG
Rennes appear to be in turmoil both on and off the pitch, with last weekend’s 3–1 defeat at Lens stretching their losing run to four games and signalling the end of Beye’s one-year spell in charge.
With no permanent successor confirmed, the Red and Blacks could head into this clash under temporary guidance, which is far from ideal against a PSG side in ruthless form.
Les Parisiens come into this match off the back of a 5–0 thrashing of Marseille, and another strong attacking display looks likely against opponents who have conceded at least three goals in three of their last four outings.
