Paris Saint Germain - Rennes betting tips and odds

Paris Saint Germain are seen as favourites to win this match against Rennes. The betting odds indicate an easy win and anything but a home victory here would indeed be a big surprise.

Though it may not be particularly attractive to punters, this match is at least easy to predict. Anything but a Home Win is probably wishful thinking for Rennes, whose victory has been priced at a hefty 6.50.

Paris Saint Germain narrowly won their previous Ligue 1 match with a score of 1:2. They were the hard favourites going in but failed to pull ahead for the first 45 minutes. A win is a win, though, and they added 3 points to the tally.

Rennes’s previous away game was quite uneventful, all things considered. Playing at Auxerre, the scores were tied at half time and carried over into a 0:0 draw. Hopefully, we’ll see some more excitement in round 28.

Paris Saint Germain tend to concede quite a lot when playing at home, strangely enough. For example, the ball ended up in their net more than 5 times over the course of their latest 3 home games.

If there’s any consistency to be found in the recent match history of Rennes, it’s that the games tend to be rather uneventful. The latest two ended up with fewer than 2 goals on the score board.

The home team in this match are the table leaders going into round 28. They’ll be looking to solidify their position further with this matchup, though. The season is winding down for a finale, so everyone will be looking to take their place.

Rennes are currently number 5th on the table, which is a somewhat awkward position. A Europa League qualification seems to be within reach, but time is quickly running out at the coming matches are stacked against them.

These two squads already clashed this season, and Paris Saint Germain narrowly lost the bout. With a home-field advantage on their side, however, most bookies believe that they’re more likely to win this time.

Before going for any betting predictions, we need to make note of the overall high number of prior injuries. Both sides have been hit: Achraf Hakimi, Marquinhos, Nordi Mukiele for the hosts, and Jeremy Doku, Desire Doue, Djed Spence for the visitors. Needless to say, this may impact the teams’ performance.

Despite the risks involved, the strongest prediction in terms of value is an HT/FT bet that the hosts will take lead in the second half. It’s as risky as you might expect, though the 4.50 odds offer a decent return.
