Paris FC vs Rennes prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-11-06 19:45.
[p]Mid-table sides Paris FC and Rennes are separated by just one point as they gear up for a first meeting since 1981 to kick off the Ligue 1 weekend.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Paris FC put extra breathing space between themselves and the Ligue 1 relegation zone with their most impressive result since promotion, winning 1-0 away at Monaco to end a three-match run without a victory (D1, L2). On the back of just their second clean sheet of the campaign, boss Stéphane Gilli will be eyeing defensive improvements if his side are to climb the table as only two sides have conceded more than their 20 goals in the league this season. Stade Jean Bouin appears the perfect venue on that front as Paris have lost just three games on their own turf this calendar year (W11, D1).[/p]
[p]Visitors Rennes have grown into the season and have now lost just one of their last nine games (W2, D6) after thrashing Strasbourg 4-1 last week, albeit too many draws have held them back somewhat. Their latest result continued a curious trend that’s seen them collect all three wins this term against sides currently in the top seven, going winless in their five games against sides sitting below them in the table (D4, L1). Improving on that looks tricky on the road given that Rennes have failed to win a Ligue 1 away game since April (D4, L4), drawing the last four despite scoring first each time.[/p]
