The Matchday 12 clash in Ligue 1 between Paris and Rennes will take place on November 7 at the Charlety Stadium. Paris vs. Rennes: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Paris
The capital club surprised everyone in the last round by sensationally defeating Monaco 1-0 away from home. Before that, Stefan Gilli's side drew 3-3 with Lyon at home. These successful results against top-tier opponents have lifted Paris to 11th place, five points clear of the relegation zone. It's also worth noting that matches involving Paris average 3.5 goals, which is one of the highest in the league.
- In their last 7 Ligue 1 matches, the team has secured only 2 wins (2 draws and 3 losses).
- At least 3 goals have been scored in 7 of Paris's last 10 league games.
- Both teams have scored in 8 of Paris's last 10 Ligue 1 matches.
Predicted lineup for Paris (4-4-2)
Kevin Trapp – Samir Chergui, Mustafa Mbou, Otavio, Tuomas Ollila – Adama Camara, Maxime Lopez, Pierre Le-Melu, Ilan Kebbal – Moses Simon, Jean-Philippe Krasso.
Injuries rule out forward Jonathan Ikone and defender Noah Sangi.
Rennes
In the last round, Habib Beye's side hosted Strasbourg and thrashed them 4-1. It was the first time the club had won by such a margin in the league since April this year. They also ended a six-match winless streak in Ligue 1 (5 draws and 1 loss). The team has slightly improved its position in the standings, climbing to 10th place, just one point ahead of Paris.
- Both teams have scored in Rennes's last five Ligue 1 matches.
- Three or more goals have been scored in Rennes's last 5 league games.
- The team has suffered only 1 defeat in their last 9 Ligue 1 matches (2 wins and 6 draws).

Paris vs. Rennes: Match Prediction
I expect a highly entertaining football match in the upcoming clash. Both teams are close neighbors in the standings and have recently defeated opponents vying for Champions League spots. Predicting the outcome is difficult as both teams favor attacking football and tend to concede goals.
Both teams to score seems to be the optimal betting choice for this encounter. This outcome has occurred in 4 of Paris's last 5 home Ligue 1 matches. Rennes has struggled on the road, failing to win in their last 8 away league games, but this hasn't affected their scoring ability, with both teams scoring in 8 of Rennes's last 9 away Ligue 1 matches.
My prediction – Both teams to score – yes
* Each team's lineup reflects their starting XI from their previous match in this tournament.
