PSG vs. Rennes: My Detailed Analysis

Score Prediction: PSG 1-0 Rennes

Goalscorer Prediction: PSG: Ousmane Dembele

PSG’s recent 1-0 defeat to Monaco revealed a vulnerability, despite their prior scoring spree. That loss likely stings. Rennes, by comparison, ride a wave of momentum with four consecutive wins, including impressive goal tallies against Strasbourg and Monaco. Their confidence is understandably high heading into this Parc des Princes showdown.

Likely Lineups:

PSG (Expected): Chevalier, Zaire-Emery, Zabarnyi, Pacho, Hernandez, Neves, Vitinha, Mayulu, Kang-in, Dembele, Kvaratskhelia Rennes (Expected): Samba, Ait Boudlal, Jacquet, Brassier, Frankowski, Camara, Rongier, Cisse, Merlin, Lepaul, Embolo

PSG Aims to Reassert Dominance

Injuries plague PSG, with Doue, Hakimi, and potentially Mendes sidelined. The potential return of Ousmane Dembele to the starting lineup provides a spark of hope.

Rennes, although missing Fofana, adapted effectively. Still, the odds favor a home victory. But Rennes is not to be taken lightly.

Luis Enrique undoubtedly emphasizes a return to basics, particularly against a team performing as well as Rennes. Many recent PSG games devolved into high-scoring affairs, but the Monaco match suggests a shift in approach. Expect a more controlled, tighter game plan.

Bet 1: Under 3.5 goals at odds of 1.84 on 1xBet

Clean Sheet Crucial for PSG

PSG’s Ligue 1 record reflects a tendency for one-sided scoring, with a league-leading low number of matches seeing both teams find the net. That said, at home, this trend is even more pronounced. That said, only a small percentage of their league matches featuring goals from both sides, along with their remarkable number of clean sheets.

However, PSG’s defensive resilience has waned lately, conceding in four of their last five games. Improved defense is essential, which is a tall order against Rennes. Rennes has scored in eight straight matches, a fact Habib Beye will surely emphasize to his squad.

I’m wagering on PSG to regain their footing. They haven’t suffered consecutive losses since May 2024, and I anticipate them avoiding a repeat here. Chevalier and the PSG defense likely feel the pressure to solidify their backline.

Bet 2: Both teams to score – no – at odds of 2.05 on 1xBet

Dembele’s Return: A Potential Game-Changer

Ousmane Dembele’s recent injury struggles, including hamstring and calf issues, interrupted his momentum. His second-half appearance against Monaco hints at a potential start this weekend. He’s hungry for a goal, having not scored since October.

Dembele’s track record against Rennes is impressive, boasting four wins in five games, along with four goals and assists. More importantly, he has never lost to them. PSG will look to him as a significant threat. This could be the match where the French international breaks his Ligue 1 scoring drought.

Bet 3: Ousmane Dembele as anytime goalscorer at odds of 1.80 on 1xBet
