It's probably best for opponents not to look too closely at the statistics for PSG. That includes the one that says their goal difference is +52 which is 15 goals more than any other team in the league have scored this season. PSG lead the table by 13 points and even have two games in hand on their rivals. Last week they beat Guingamp 9-0 at home to avenge a recent French League Cup defeat. It's now 20 games unbeaten for PSG in Ligue 1 and the last team to beat them? It just happens to be Rennes who won 2-0 away here last May at a time when PSG had already clinched the title. Home league form this season is incredible with ten straight wins, 37 goals scored and just three conceded and 32 of their last 35 home league games have been won.

Rennes come into this game in ninth place and just six points adrift of the fourth position that would get them into the Europa League. They ended the year in good form and had a run of four straight league wins but have just one point from their last two matches. That includes a 2-1 loss at bottom ot fhe table Guingamp and that was their fourth away league defeat of the season but ended a run of five on the road without defeat. They may have won at PSG last season but their previous two league visits both ended in 4-0 defeats. The tip here is for over 2.5 goals in the game.
