Rennes vs. PSG: Match Prediction
The Parisians are racing towards another championship. The team's attacking prowess is impressive: in the current Ligue 1 season, Luis Enrique's side has scored in 23 out of 24 matches. In the last five games of this stretch, PSG has only once scored fewer than three goals. It is hard to imagine that Rennes' defense will withstand the onslaught of the capital club.
However, PSG's defense is not flawless: the team has conceded in 9 of their last 10 league matches. Rennes, on the other hand, has only failed to score in 2 of their last 23 home Ligue 1 matches. Additionally, head-to-head encounters between these upcoming opponents at Rennes' home ground have generally been high-scoring, with both teams scoring in 5 of the last 7 league games.
Considering all these factors, my prediction is: Both teams to score – yes
