Paris SG vs Rennes Prediction & Betting tips
Although defending champion Paris Saint-Germain still has two catch-up games in the hindquarters, the Tuchel eleven is sovereign leader in the French Ligue 1. 13 points ahead of the first “pursuer” from Lille. The successful title defense is only a matter of time for PSG. On Matchday 22, the duel between PSG and Rennes takes place in the Prinzenpark in Paris.
The industry leader from the city of love is the absolute non-plus ultra in French football and dominates the league at will. In 19 games 17 wins were celebrated and only two times had the league leaders with a draw. In the Prinzenpark, PSG also has a bright white vest. This should not change in any way against Stade Rennes. The club from Brittany still has ambitions towards Europe as the current table ninth. A point win in the capital would definitely be a “bonus point” for Rennes. The game starts on Sunday evening at 20 pm.
PSG:
In recent years, Paris Saint-Germain in the league had a subscription to the national triple. This will not succeed Thomas Tuchel in his first year as head coach in France. In the Coupe de la Ligue PSG had to beat surprisingly with 1: 2 the Ligue 1 rear light EA Guingamp. Above all, the defensive birds presented. The Guingamp victory was favored by three penalties (!). The two goals from the ominous point were the only goals for the Tuchel protégés in the last six games. After PSG received at least one goal in five competitive matches in December in December, the defensive could now be stabilized sustainably.
Last weekend, PSG provided an impressive revenge for the Cup against Guingamp. In the home game against the completely overtaxed tail light, the league leaders played into a frenzy and made Guingamp 9-0 from. Eight of the nine goals were scored by the outstanding offensive trio around Neymar (2x), Kylian Mbappe and Edinson Cavani (3x each).
PSG is unstoppable in the league and an absolute power at home. Paris Saint-Germain has not only won all ten home games, but also an impressive goal difference of 37: 3. In seven of the ten matches, the champions were already halfway into the lead. In the game between PSG and Rennes odds of 1.67 are offered for the tip at halftime / final. These are far more interesting than the “regular” home win.
Tuchel has to give up superstar Neymar. In the 2-0 Cup victory over Racing Strasbourg, the Brazilian injured again on the right midfoot. Now the Champions League match against Manchester United will be a race against time for Neymar. Nevertheless, PSG still has an enormous amount of quality on offense. Thinner is the staffing in the central midfield. Marco Verratti is injured and Adrien Rabiot has put himself on the sidelines (and successfully sued for the training). A real alternative is the “Wuschelkopf” currently not dar.
Rennes:
In the Europa League, Rennes is in the KO phase, in the Coupe de France Rennes has secured the round of 16 and in the league are the international starting positions in sight. Actually, the situation at Stade Rennes should be absolutely satisfactory. However, not the entire season so far went according to desire. Due to poor results, Sabri Lamouchi had to vacate his chair in early December and Julien Stephan, only 38, was promoted. Julien Stephan is the son of Guy Stephan, who currently serves as co-coach of Didier Deschamps in the French national team. His son Julien is as successful as the father. In ten competitive games at Rennes Julien Stephan looks back on an excellent 7-1-2 balance. The only disappointment was the absence on penalties against AS Monaco in the League Cup. The second defeat put it in the catch-up game against bottoming light EA Guingamp in the past week.
This defeat against Guingamp stopped a little catching up in the table. As table ninth Rennes has only two points behind the fifth place in the table. Depending on the outcome of the two cup competitions in France, the fifth and sixth in the table will also play internationally. In the Coupe de France Rennes completed during the week the compulsory task at the amateur club Saint-Pryve FC and will meet in the second round now on the OSC Lille.
In the duel between David and Goliath Stephan has to give up on Sunday night on five players. However, these losses are relativized a little, because four players are missing almost the entire season. The only really painful loss is that of the Swedish international Jakob Johansson. Due to the good performance since the Stephan takeover, Rennes has gained some air and can actually view the game in Paris as a kind of bonus game. The Elf from Brittany has a proud series to defend. Rennes has scored at least one goal in each of the last eleven away games in the league.
