Prediction published on 25/02/2024, 02:42  by Kennedy Kechula in Ligue 1 Predictions

PSG will seek to extend their lead atop the French Ligue 1 standings when they host Rennes on Sunday. After 22 rounds of play, they sit 19 points clear of seventh-placed Rennes. PSG are runaway league leaders and at the moment have a 13-point advantage on their closest challengers. Luis Enrique’s men have accumulated 53 points and have won 16 times while drawing a further five games. One of their wins was an emphatic 3-1 success over Rennes in the reverse game back in October. With their current host streak, they will be confident of securing the season spoils over their visitors. PSG haven’t lost any of their last 18 matches across all competitions. They have won 14 times in this stretch and are currently on a five-match winning run. The capital club defeated Nantes 2-0 last time out away from home.

Rennes are also in superb form at the moment and will arrive for this match confident of a win. Julien Stephan’s men have won 10 of their last 11 matches. They are coming off an exciting 3-2 victory over AC Milan in the Europa League. Despite the midweek victory, Les Rouge et Noirs have exited Europe as they had lost the first leg 3-0. They will seek to bounce back from the disappointment and secure another ticket for Europe next season. Rennes haven’t lost in the league since December and are currently on a six-match winning run in the division. They were 3-1 winners over Clermont last weekend with their ninth win of the season moving them to 34 points. A win here could move them into the European places as they are only two points adrift of the top six.
