PSG vs Rennes Prediction 27 Sep 2024

⚽ Ligue 1 - Round 6 Preview

📅 27 Sep 2024

⏰ 20:00 GMT +1

🏟 Parc des Princes (Paris)

Paris Saint-Germain’s perfect start to the season came to an end with a 1-1 draw against Reims, leaving them at the top of the Ligue 1 table only on goal difference (W4, D1). PSG’s +13 goal difference is still impressive, with Luis Enrique’s squad adjusting well without Kylian Mbappé, averaging 3.4 goals per game. However, off-field distractions related to Mbappé’s €55 million wage dispute could affect the team. Rennes will pose a challenge, as PSG has scored only once in each of their last four home meetings against them (W2, D1, L1), potentially making this a tough encounter.

Rennes arrive in Paris after conceding a frustrating injury-time equalizer to Lens (1-1). Manager Julien Stéphan called for more maturity, though he remains optimistic as Rennes' current points tally matches their start in the last two seasons (W2, D1, L2). However, Rennes are struggling on the road, with three consecutive away losses despite scoring in each. They’ll look to avoid a fourth straight defeat, though their tendency to concede multiple goals (at least two in their last four away games) could hurt them against PSG’s attack.
