Paris Saint-Germain are set to face Rennes in the Ligue 1’s upcoming match, and both teams are under pressure to showcase their best form. As we edge closer to this clash, let’s dive deep into the data and performances of these two teams and make some predictions on the outcome.
Form Guide and Team Performances
Paris Saint-Germain, despite their rich history, find themselves in a slightly precarious position at the moment. Having secured a total of 12 points from their opening seven matches, they currently sit fifth in the Ligue 1 table. The previous season champions, under the management of Luis Enrique, were expected to dominate from the outset, but the beginning of their campaign was unexpectedly lethargic.

On the other hand, Rennes are enjoying an unbeaten start and currently find themselves a mere point behind PSG. Their record consists of two victories and five draws, a testament to their resilient defence. A significant boost was their dominant 5-1 victory against Metz. However, they have been held to draws in many games thereafter, including a commendable come-from-behind 2-2 against Lille.
Key Players and Potential Line-ups
For Rennes, several standout performers have emerged. Jérémy Doku, now at Man City, with an impressive BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 7.90, leads the pack. Additionally, Benjamin Bourigeaud and Nemanja Matic are crucial players for them in the middle of the park. Their recent 3-1 win against Nantes has seen Desire Doue and Arnaud Kalimuendo make strong cases to start the next match.
Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, is blessed with a plethora of stars. The talismanic Kylian Mbappé, with an astounding BettingTips4You Expert Rating of 8.05, is undoubtedly their chief threat. Additionally, with players like Achraf Hakimi and Ousmane Dembélé, they have firepower throughout their lineup.
Statistical Overview
Delving into the data, Rennes hold a slightly better possession statistic with 57.4% compared to PSG. However, PSG, ranking 1/18 with an average rating of 7.24, have been slightly more effective in turning possession into results.
Rennes have been more efficient with their shooting, averaging 15.4 shots per game, with a commendable 6.4 on target. Their defence, with two clean sheets, and the ability to recover the ball (averaging 61.9 recoveries per game) has been instrumental in their unbeaten run.
Paris Saint-Germain, meanwhile, have a slightly better goal difference. Having scored 14 goals and conceding 6 in seven matches, their defensive frailties have been minimal. Their attacking flair is evident with players like Mbappé already netting seven goals in six appearances.

- Correct Score Prediction: Based on their attacking prowess and recent defensive form, a 2-2 draw seems plausible.
- Goalscorer Prediction: Kylian Mbappé is the obvious choice. With seven goals in just six Ligue 1 appearances this season, he’s in scintillating form.
