Rennes vs PSG Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1

Prediction published on 08/05/2021, 03:55  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

PSG are coming from a disappointing result in the Champions League and their league title race isn’t going too well either. They will be playing away to Rennes in the 36th round of matches looking to close in on league leaders Lille, who won on Friday. Rennes are eyeing Europa League for next season and go to this game placed seventh with 54 points. PSG are second on 75 points, four behind leaders Lille. Rennes are coming from a 1-0 loss to Bordeaux, their first defeat in seven matches. They have five wins in the seven matches and scored failed to score in just one. In four of the last six, Rennes have scored two or more goals and four have produced over 2.5 goals. At home, they have three straight wins in the league but they’ve scored more than a goal in just one of the last seven. In 17 home league matches this season, they have eight wins and six losses.

PSG’s main concern going to this game will be their defensive frailty. They have one clean sheet only in the last five matches across all competitions. In the league they haven’t managed a clean sheet in the last seven, but with four straight wins in the league, they will hope to put behind them the Champions League disappointment. They’ve failed to score in just one of their last seven league matches – the 1-0 loss to Lille. The reigning champions have scored two or more goals in four straight league matches and they have done better away from home. They have six straight away wins in Ligue 1, but without a clean sheet in the last three.
