11th February 2022 – 21:00, Parc des Princes, Paris
PSG and Rennes open the Ligue 1 24th round with a Friday evening clash. The home side leads the title race, and they will likely win it. On the other hand, the visitors are in variable form, and they challenge the continental qualification.
PSG Preview & Team News
PSG will want to continue from where they left off last time with the 5:1 Ligue 1 victory versus Lille. They comfortably sit in the first place, being 13 points ahead of Marseille. The hosts celebrated three times in a row and trashed the defending champions last weekend. Their latest results show that much respect should be given to the Paris Saint-Germain rearguard. Paris Saint-Germain has been mean at the back, with the number of goals that have gone past their goalkeeper during their past six games standing at two. On the other hand, Kylian Mbappe and the lads are the most efficient team in Ligue 1, finding the back of the net 51 times. Nathan Bitumazala (Corona virus), Edouard Michut (Corona virus) and Alexandre Letellier (Corona virus) are unavailable for PSG manager Mauricio Pochettino.
Rennes Preview & Team News
Rennes enters this match after a 2:0 victory over Brest in Ligue 1 last time out. They are currently fifth and just one point behind Strasbourg. However, the Europa League race will be very exciting, as many teams will challenge for these spots. In the course of their six latest matches, Bruno Génésio’s Rennes have found the back of the net a total of 11 times, therefore, giving them a goals scored per game average of 1.83. Martin Terrier is the best scorer of the team, as he netted 11 times and is waiting for an invitation to the French national team. Rennes manager Bruno Génésio has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Jérémy Gélin (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Romain Salin (Calf Injury), Jérémy Doku (Hamstring Injury) and Lesley Ugochukwu (Injury to the ankle) miss out here .
Full-Time Winner Odds & Prediction
The home side is a firm favorite, not only in this game but in the entire Ligue 1. Although Rennes is a tricky opponent, we believe the home side will meet the expectations, even without some important players.
Goals Market Prediction
Five of their last six encounters at Parc des Princes went over a 2.5 margin, while PSG has been lethal for the oppositions’ goalkeepers. Rennes has also been involved in some efficient matches lately, and we expect to see at least three goals in total here.
