LiontipsPSG vs Rennes Prediction (Odds 3.80) and Bets for the French Championship Match on September 27, 2024
Command Analysis
Current Form
PSG has kicked off their French league campaign in impressive fashion. The reigning champions currently sit at the top of the table, having initially led the standings on their own. A recent draw against Reims (1-1) allowed Marseille and Monaco to catch up on points with the Red and Blues, but thanks to their goal difference, Luis Enrique's side remains in first place.
This season, the French team continues without Kylian Mbappe, but it seems that his potential departure to Real Madrid has benefited the club. With 17 goals scored in the first five matches, the evidence speaks volumes. Both Dembélé and Barcola have also contributed with four goals each and currently sit in second and third place respectively in the scoring race.
It’s worth highlighting the efforts of the head coach, who is consistently seeking to add a unique flair to his team's play. It could be that the effective strategies employed by Luis Enrique allow the squad to showcase impressive results even without their star players.
Injuries and Suspensions
Donnarumma, Kimpembe, Hernandez, Mendes, Ramos, and Asensio are currently sidelined due to injuries and will not take to the field.
Interesting Betting Trends
PSG is unbeaten in their last 11 matches
The hosts have scored in 12 consecutive matches
Provisional Lineup
Safonov – Zaire-Emery, Marquinhos, Pacho, Beraldo – Li, Neves, Ruiz – Dembélé, Koulibaly, Barcola.
Current Form
Rennes is considered one of the leading teams in the French league, consistently competing for European spots. A setback last season prevented them from participating in European competitions for the first time in five years, allowing them to focus entirely on the domestic league, although their performance has not been up to par so far. After five matches, the club has secured just two wins, suffered two losses, and registered one draw, resulting in an eighth-place position in the standings.
Thanks to the sales of Doige, Le Fee, and Terrier, the club earned a substantial sum of nearly 100 million euros, but they have opted not to make expensive signings. This decision has reflected in their early results in the French league, highlighting the impact of their financial choices.
Injuries and Suspensions
Gomez and Almda are injured and will not be available for the match.
