Paris Saint Germain vs Stade Rennes Prediction: Roller Coaster ride for the Parisians

Paris Saint Germain are now miles away and beyond reach in the Ligue 1 as they now have 13 points between them and 2nd place Stade Brest. Paris Saint Germain will hope to carry on their ruthless league form against Stade Rennes. At the moment, there's just no one that can stop them and this game looks like another 3 points for the league leaders.

Stade Rennes have been in fine form lately and for that they are now in contention for European competition next season. Rennes now have a difficult task in their hands and their quality is going to be tested. No one really expects Rennes to win against Paris Saint Germain, but they are the sort of team that would love to take down the Ligue 1 giants. 

Paris Saint Germain

Paris Saint Germain have put the league title beyond reach quite early and it's now becoming a rollercoaster ride for the Parisians. Paris Saint Germain are unbeaten in their last 17 matches in the Ligue 1 and are now 13 points clear on the Ligue 1 table. They are also on course to progress to the quarter final of the champions league after beating Real Sociedad 2-0 in the first leg of the knockout match. All things considered, life's good for the Parisians and a happy team is always unstoppable.

PSG captain Kylian Mbappe has been in explosive form this season and he is on course for the highest goal scorer award at the end of the season. Kylian Mbappe has already scored 21 goals in Ligue 1. He scored the second goal in the game against Nantes last weekend and he's most likely going to find the back of the net in this fixture.

Stade Rennes

Stade Rennes are at that point in the season when they have to face the ultimate test of their quality. They have been quite commendable in the last few weeks and their results have been quite enviable. It was quite unfortunate that they fell short on the aggregate in their Europa League game against AC Milan. They lost the first leg by 3-0 and played 3-2 in the return leg. Now they turn their attention to the Ligue 1 as they continue to chase a spot in the top 6. 

Stade Rennes have won their last 6 matches in the Ligue 1 and they are unbeaten in their last 7. 

In their last Ligue 1 match, they defeated Clermont Foot 3-1 at home. Warmed Omari scored once and Martin Terrier scored a brace in that game. Stade Rennes will have to setup in a different way to cope with the attacking talents in the PSG squad. 

Head to Head

In the last 20 meetings, Paris Saint Germain have won 13 meetings and Stade Rennes won 6 matches and 1 match ended in a draw.

Analysis and Predictions

It seems like a straightforward victory for Paris Saint Germain. They are playing at their very best at the moment and there's so much confidence in the squad. Stade Rennes deserve some credit for their form in the Ligue 1 and there's a chance they might turn up against the Parisians.

According to h2h, Paris Saint Germain are without a clean sheet in the last 3 meetings. 5 of their last 6 matches ended with less than 2.5 goals and 4 of their last 5 matches ended with less than 4.5 cards. In their last 5 matches they played less than 10.5 corners.
