Paris Saint-Germain

LWWWLW

PSG head into this fixture coming off the back of a 0-0 Ligue 1 draw against Rennes.

Matches featuring Paris Saint-Germain have usually been lively ones of late with high scoring expected. Over their past 6 games, a total of 22 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 13 of them accredited to Paris Saint-Germain. That kind of trend might not follow through here, of course.

Ahead of this meeting, Paris Saint-Germain have not been beaten in their last 35 league matches at home. So impressive.

Rennes

LWWWLD

A run of very capable performances by the Rennes defensive players has resulted in the number of goals they’ve conceded standing at 4 from their past 6 outings combined. In that time, their own attack force has managed to score 6.

A look at their previous results shows us that Rennes:

• haven't won against Paris Saint-Germain when they've played them away from home in the last 3 matches in the league.
• are undefeated in their previous 2 away league matches.

ℹ️ Team News: PSG

Presnel Kimpembe (Achilles tendon rupture) and Neymar (Ankle Surgery) won’t be playing for PSG manager Christophe Galtier.

In our view, Les Rouge-et-Bleu will probably line up in a 3-4-1-2 system, handing starts to Gianluigi Donnarumma, E. C. Bitshiabu, Danilo Pereira, Juan Bernat, Timothee Pembele, Nuno Mendes, Fabian Ruiz, Marco Verratti, Vitinha, Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe.

📰 Team News: Rennes

Rennes manager Bruno Génésio has a number of players out of action. Xeka (Injury to the ankle), Lorenz Assignon (Cruciate Ligament Injury) and Martin Terrier (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) are those who can’t be considered.

We are inclined to think that Rennes might play in a 5-3-2 lineup using Steve Mandanda, Warmed Omari, Christopher Wooh, Arthur Theate, Djed Spence, Adrien Truffert, Lesley Ugochukwu, Benjamin Bourigeaud, Desire Doue, Karl Toko Ekambi and A. Kalimuendo-Muinga.

💭 Prediction

In this game, Rennes will do really well to break down a Paris Saint-Germain lineup who will more than likely get a big win and also probable clean sheet.

Our selection here is for a very comfortable 3-0 margin for Paris Saint-Germain after 90 minutes.
