Goals and home upset on the cards at Roazhon Park
Rennes' approach
Franck Haise has done a wonderful job since taking the Stade Rennes FC helm on 18 February 2026 and his side are a front-foot, high-pressing unit that can make the Roazhon Park atmosphere feel like a full-court press. His side will attempt to win second balls and break fast, an approach that should get Rennes into plenty of transition moments and space behind the lines of Luis Enrique's Paris Saint-Germain FC.
PSG's pressing response
But Luis Enrique's PSG use rapid rotations and smother opponents with their own press, so the midfield chess match should be spicy.
PSG are no longer ruthless
The hosts have won two, drawn one and lost two of their last five games, so they have been in mixed form. But Rennes are still landing punches with their attack and that should be enough to ensure an entertaining contest on Sunday.
Paris St-Germain are in similar mixed rhythm with two wins, one draw and two defeats in their last five matches, although they could have made a stronger mark on the game if they were ruthless enough.
Les Rouge et Noir take on Les Parisiens with a good chance of grabbing an upset and both teams to score looks the most likely outcome. Over 2.5 goals is also priced very short at 1.41, so we take the 'Both teams to get on the board – Yes' odds at 1.53 as being a match that both attacks should be landing, even if it is a close affair.
Back the home team to pounce on any loose balls
Paris St-Germain's away record has been disappointing, but they have enough of a cushion to think they can still claim the three points.
However, the last meeting, Rennes' 3-1 home win in Ligue 1 2025/2026, should be fresh in the minds of Luis' squad and keep them honest.
Rennes will win if they can keep the tempo frantic and PSG are still susceptible to getting caught out when their players are caught in possession. If Haise gets some early service through to Lepaul, PSG will be tested early and often by a team capable of keeping them under pressure.
- PSG have conceded seven goals in five away matches across all competitions and Rennes have conceded ten in six at home, so it would be foolish to think the away team will be able to shut the home side out.
- The head-to-head record is 4-1 in PSG's favor over the last five meetings, so the edge still remains with the visitors.
- Home wins can be backed at 5.95, a massive number that should be taken with a grain of salt and a pinch of salt because this could be live.
- Esteban Lepaul has been Rennes' main threat lately with six of their 11 goals coming in the past five games, so he is the danger man in red and black.
