Rennes, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-4 Ligue 1 success over Montpellier.

In that match, Rennes had 55% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 9 of them on target. For Rennes, goals were scored by Seko Fofana (28'), Djaoui Cissé (56'), Lorenz Assignon (69') and Arnaud Kalimuendo (87'). Montpellier had 16 attempts on goal with 5 on target.

An interesting characteristic of more recent Rennes games is the number of results with a nil in them.

From their prior sextet of matches before this one, in as many as 5 of them a bet on "Both Teams to Score" would've been a losing one.

Going into this contest, Rennes have not emerged victorious against Paris Saint-Germain in their previous 3 league matches.

After tasting defeat last time out to Liverpool in Champions League competition, PSG and their travelling supporters will be hoping that they can get a better result in this one.

In that match, Paris Saint-Germain had 71% possession and 27 shots at goal with 10 on target. At the other end, Liverpool had 2 attempts at goal with 1 of them on target. Harvey Elliott (87') was the scorer for Liverpool.

Indicating their involvement in fruitful encounters, the back of the net has been hit 25 times in the prior six games in which Paris Saint-Germain have played, giving a mean average of 4.17 goals for each clash. Their opponents have hit 3 of those goals. That sort of pattern isn’t assured to be carried forward into this next game, of course.

Heading into this contest, Paris Saint-Germain are unbeaten in their last 36 league matches away from home. It's hard to ask more than that.

📰 Team News: Rennes

Doğan Alemdar (Cruciate ligament tear) and Alidu Seidu (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Rennes manager Habib Beye.

We think that Rennes will probably employ a 3-5-2 formation this time featuring Brice Samba, Anthony Rouault, Jeremy Jacquet, Lilian Brassier, Lorenz Assignon, Jordan James, Ismael Kone, Seko Fofana, Adrien Truffert, A. Kalimuendo-Muinga and Ludovic Blas.

📋 Team News: PSG

We believe Les Rouge-et-Bleu could decide to elect for a 4-3-3 formation by sending out Gianluigi Donnarumma, Warren Zaire-Emery, Lucas Beraldo, Willian Pacho, Lucas Hernandez, Desire Doue, Vitinha, Senny Mayulu, Kang-In Lee, Goncalo Ramos and Bradley Barcola.

💡 Prediction

We’re of the view that Rennes will likely be able to score a goal against this Paris Saint-Germain lineup, however a single goal possibly won’t quite be enough to give them the result that they want.

Our tip is for both teams to score in a 1-2 win for Paris Saint-Germain when the referee blows the final whistle. Expecting it to be very competitive.
