Paris Saint-Germain can take advantage of Rennes' fatigue.
Paris Saint-Germain FC currently leads Ligue 1 with an absolute advantage of 13 points and is at the top of the table. They will be expected to comfortably beat visitors Rennes on Sunday to at least maintain that lead.
In their last three matches, Les Rennais have won two. They may pose some tests for the pacesetters, although they only started after a tough race on Thursday night.
In the Europa League, Rennes won 3-2 against AC Milan but were unable to progress due to a 3-0 defeat in the first leg. The red team showed a brave performance against Italy but were ultimately unsuccessful, so they may struggle to get a chance to play in this game in the capital.
Paris Saint-Germain FC have won 10 of their last 11 matches and drawn one. Their last five home wins have all come by two goals or more. With that in mind, we're backing the hosts to get a -1 win against a potentially tired Rennes side, which is a great option in our main bet.
Paris Saint-Germain FC managed to turn the game around and win 3-1. It is reasonable to proceed according to this score line. Rennes have scored in 10 of their last 11 matches, which can give them some consolation. Because Paris Saint-Germain have conceded in 7 of the last 9 matches that have been played at the Parc des Princes. While in their last 6 matches, they have scored 3 goals in 3 of them.
Following Kylian Mbappe's decision to join Real Madrid, it remains to be seen whether Paris Saint-Germain will start him on Sunday, so Bradley Barcola could be a player ready to score. Barcelona have scored just two goals in their last six matches and the 21-year-old may think he has something to prove after failing in his most recent game against Nantes.
