PSG vs Rennes prediction: FRANCE: Ligue 1 betting tips on match 2025-12-05 20:05.
[p]PSG are in unfamiliar territory after relinquishing their spot atop the Ligue 1 table last round, and looking to capitalise on any loss in morale will be one of the league’s most in-form teams, Rennes. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]PSG lost just their second game of this Ligue 1 campaign and their third overall this season when going down 1-0 away to Monaco last time out, which was also just the second time they’ve failed to score in their last 34 Ligue 1 outings. The Parisians will be looking for an immediate response when they return home to the Parc des Princes, where they’ve not only won nine of their last 11 home matches (D1, L1), but been victorious in five of their six home league matches without conceding this term (D1). [/p]
[p]Their mettle will be tested against high-flying Rennes, who made it four wins in a row when beating Metz 1-0 away from home last round. Their recent run has come as a complete surprise considering they were winless in their six games prior (D5, L1), but it has propelled them firmly into top-four contention. That clean sheet against Metz was the Red and Blacks’ second in as many games on the road, after they shut out PSG’s neighbours Paris FC to win 1-0, and considering they drew each of their four away games prior to that, they could prove a very tough nut to crack.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]PSG did the double over Rennes last season, which forms the tail-end of a five-game unbeaten streak against their upcoming visitors (W4, D1). [/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]PSG have scored first in a league-high 12 Ligue 1 games this season. [/p]
[p]Four of PSG’s last six home games produced under 3.5 goals.[/p]
[p]Nine of Rennes’ last 12 matches saw both teams score.[/p]
[p]Rennes have picked up exactly two yellow cards in four of their last six away matches.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]Bradley Barcola will be fighting for a spot in PSG’s starting XI, not only because his last four goals have all come at home, but also because he has registered six goal contributions in his last four Ligue 1 matches against Rennes (G4, A2). Rennes captain Valentin Rongier guided them to victory with a goal against Metz, and could prove the hero once again with that being the third of his last four goals to come on the road.[/p]
[p]With Achraf Hakimi and Désiré Doué already on the sidelines, Nuno Mendes missed PSG’s game against Monaco and will be monitored further. Rennes seem to have no new injury concerns in their squad.[/p]
