Paris SG vs Rennes Prediction & Betting tips
Marketing is everything. Meanwhile, it is already common that matches from European football on other continents go on stage! The French Supercup was held in the last two years in the Wörthersee Stadion Klagenfurt. Instead of Austria, China is now hosting the duel between champions and cup winners! In Shenzhen, the match between PSG and Stade Rennes will kick off on Saturday!
The Trophee of champions is actually the duel of two champions this season. After PSG completely dominated national football in the years before, there was always the clash of champions against runners-up in the Supercup. In the first year under Thomas Tuchel, however, the national triple was missed. The Coupe de France title cheered Stade Rennes – at that time on penalties against PSG. The capital Eleven wants the revenge accordingly and is considered a big favorite. At 12:30 pm Central European Time, the game will kick off on Saturday in Shenzhen, China!
PSG:
Thomas Tuchel is certainly not to be envied in these days and weeks. The former BVB coach is measured exclusively on titles. The championship is a must anyway, and the national cup competitions should also go to Paris. An early stop could only be coped with if the Henkel pot finds its way into the city of love. The question of whether PSG has sufficient quality, however, is quite justified. Tuchel can draw on absolute world-class players, but in the width of the team is significantly weaker than the competitors on the big stage.
In addition, Superstar Neymar keeps worrying. He found his way to Paris two years ago and never got really happy despite many goals and assists. Escapades belong to the exceptional artist. Meanwhile, he has set himself publicly and wants to go back to Barcelona. Sports director Leonardo has now opened the door, but there was not a matching offer for the eccentric so far. PSG is in a bind and so it has no easy preparation in the legs.
In addition to the willing to emigrate Neymar (in addition, the first three league games is blocked), actors like Thiago Silva and Marquinhos missed a lot of preparation. The first friendlies have already shown that PSG currently has a lot of simple ball losses especially in the game structure. The Tuchel team has not been convincing yet. In the first competitive game of the new season has a performance increase ago. The role of favorites is definitely justified, but we see no value between PSG and Rennes at the tip in the three-way market.
Rennes:
For the first time since the 2013/14 season missed the Elf from Brittany again a single-digit place. At the end of the last season only ten came out. After the fifth place in the preseason, the national championship was absolutely disappointing. Thanks to winning the Coupe de France head coach Julien Stephan was able to save the season and thus also the renewed ticket for the UEFA Europa League group stage.
The preparation for the new season, however, was anything but promising. Three official friendlies were contested and not a single victory could be cheered. Rather, there was not even a goal to celebrate. Both against Celtic Glasgow (0: 0) as well as against Stade Brest (0: 1) and RB Leipzig (0: 2) remained the offensive of the Black-Red without scoring. However, the two topstars on the offensive, Ismaila Sarr and Mbaye Niang, also missed much of the preparation due to the Africa Cup. Nonetheless, the recent impressions do not necessarily give cause for hope. Given these results, we advise in the Supercup final between PSG and Rennes of a renewed forecast on the Stephan-Elf.
The team is by the departure of Hatem Ben Arfa (the two games could not agree on a new contract) certainly weaker than in the previous year. The creative mind of the team is missing – and the preparation has shown that his departure can not be compensated.
