Rennes Fall on Thursday

On Ligue 1 Matchday 7, Rennes hosted Nantes and took a four-game draw streak into the match. Rennes won an early penalty, which Benjamin Bourigeaud sent into the back of the net. After a bad giveaway from Rennes center back Warmed Omari, Nantes’ Pedro Chirivella equalized just before the half. Substitute Desire Doue would go on to make a big impact for Rennes in the second half as he scored the winning goal and won a late penalty that Arnaud Kalimuendo scored.

SRFC finally broke their draw streak to improve to an unbeaten 2-5-0 in Ligue 1. However, on Thursday, Rennes lost for the first time all season when they went to Spain to take on Villarreal in the UEFA Europa League. Villarreal won 1-0 as Alexander Sorloth scored from outside of the box, and Villarreal’s Pepe Reina saved Martin Terrier’s stoppage-time penalty.

Here, the Stade Rennes vs Paris St-Germain Odds price hosts Rennes as +250 underdogs. Currently, attacking midfielder Enzo Le Fee and striker Arnaud Kalimuendo are injured. With 13 goals through seven Ligue 1 matches, Rennes are one of the league’s highest-scoring Ligue 1 teams. Ibrahim Salah leads them with three goals, despite only playing 162 minutes so far.

Rough Week for Luis Enrique and PSG

Paris Saint-Germain manager Luis Enrique is now under a bit of pressure following a brutal week. First, PSG couldn’t get on the scoresheet despite putting ten shots on target at Clermont Foot. The match finished in a scoreless draw, and a look at the PSG standings shows that they’re in fifth place in Ligue 1, with a 3-3-1 record.

On Wednesday, PSG went to St. James’ Park to take on Newcastle in the Champions League, and it was an unmitigated disaster. Miguel Almiron put the hosts up within 20 minutes, and Newcastle led 3-0 early in the second half. Lucas Hernandez got a goal back for the Parisiens, but they fell 4-1 to a team playing their first home Champions League match for over 20 years. Looking at past results can be helpful when betting on soccer.

PSG are still in second place in their UCL group, but the lack of goals over the last few matches with a star-studded front four is a concern. Kylian Mbappe, Ousmane Dembele, Randal Kolo Muani, and Goncalo Ramos started at Newcastle but couldn’t get on the scoresheet. Mbappe does lead Ligue 1, with seven goals, but he hasn’t scored in the league since September 15th.

Match Analysis & Odds

After two disappointing results in a row, PSG should be motivated to grab all three points in this one. However, they have struggled a fair bit vs Rennes in recent seasons. The Stade Rennes vs Paris St-Germain odds currently list visitors PSG as +105 favorites, which means they have under a 50 percent implied chance of victory. The four goals PSG conceded to Newcastle were almost as many as the six they’ve allowed in Ligue 1 so far.

Coming off their first loss of the season, in the Europa League, Rennes are +250 underdogs. Rennes pk, +0.5 currently shows +110 odds, while PSG pk, -0.5 sits at -140. Notably, the Parisiens haven’t won a road match at Rennes since 2018. So, Rennes are 4-1-0 in their last five Ligue 1 home games vs. PSG.

Still, shutting down Mbappe and the PSG frontline is not going to be an easy task. Bettors can take a draw at +260 odds for this match, and Ligue 1 stats show that over 2.5 goals come in at -120 odds. So far, all four of Rennes’ home matches in Ligue 1 have finished with four or more goals.
