The final Ligue 1 match of the weekend in France is the pick of the bunch as Stade Rennais welcome Paris Saint-Germain to Roazhon Park.
The game will take place on the 15th of January and the hosts begin this round of fixtures in 4th place on 34 points while the visitors are top of the table on 47 points.
Stade Rennais come into the game having previously lost 2-1 at Clermont in Ligue 1 on Wednesday night.
Having fallen a goal behind in the 31st minute, Stade Rennais equalised in the 74th minute but things quickly went downhill from that point in the game. Stade Rennais had two players sent off in the final 13 minutes and conceded a late goal to lose the match.
That result means Stade Rennais have won 2 and lost 2 of their 4 fixtures following the World Cup. The wins have come over Nice at home in Ligue 1 and Bordeaux away in the Coupe de France. There have been defeats at Reims and Clermont in Ligue 1.
Stade Rennais have been in excellent home form and trends they show have not been beaten in 21 of their 25 most recent home matches in Ligue 1.
Stade Rennais have won 8 consecutive home games in Ligue 1 and have scored 2 or more goals in each of those 8 victories. Both teams have scored in 3 of Stade Rennais’ 4 most recent home league matches.
Paris Saint-Germain travel to Roazhon Park on the back of a 2-0 home win over Angers in Ligue 1 on Wednesday. Paris Saint-Germain opened the scoring in only the 5th minute of the game and Lionel Messi marked his return from the World Cup with a goal 18 minutes from time.
Paris Saint-Germain have won 3 of their 4 matches following the World Cup break, with the wins coming over RC Strasbourg and Angers in the league plus Châteauroux away in the Coupe de France.
Trends show Paris Saint Germain have not lost a match in 26 of their last 27 matches in Ligue 1, which is a great record. They have won 7 of their last 8 Ligue 1 fixtures and 8 of their last 10 league games on the road.
In Paris Saint Germain's last 3 away matches in Ligue 1, there have been over 2.5 goals scored.
Team news and Stade Rennais will be without the suspended duo of Benjamin Bourigeaud and Warmed Omari. Xeka, Martin Terrier, and Baptiste Santamaria are injured.
Paris Saint-Germain are without the injured quartet of Marco Verratti, Renato Sanches, Nuno Mendes, and Presnel Kimpembe. Kylian Mbappe and Achraf Hakimi have been on vacation following the World Cup.
This is the perfect way to finish the weekend in France and we should see plenty of goals in this game. We expect both teams to find the back of the net and over 2.5 goals, with Paris Saint Germain winning the match by a one goal margin.
