Rennes come into this with a decent run of league results, but the 2-4 defeat at Olympique Lyonnais showed they can still be opened up when the game gets stretched. Paris have been more mixed, though the 4-0 win over Brest suggests they can still produce a strong attacking performance at home or away. With Rennes at Roazhon Park and both sides showing goals in their recent league matches, this has the feel of a game where chances should come at both ends.
Rennes have already beaten Paris 1-0 in the head-to-head record supplied, so they will know they can make this awkward. Paris, though, have scored four against Brest and Monaco in their recent league run, which points to a side capable of punishing any lapses. Match Prediction: Rennes 1-2 Paris
Form Guide & Team Overview
Rennes
Rennes arrive with four wins from their last five league matches, which is a strong enough sequence to suggest they are carrying confidence into this fixture. The only setback in that run was the 2-4 loss away to Olympique Lyonnais, a match that underlined both their attacking threat and their vulnerability at the back.
Before that defeat, Rennes beat Nantes 2-1, won 3-0 at Strasbourg, saw off Angers SCO 2-1 and edged Brest 4-3. That is a useful scoring pattern, but it also shows they have been involved in a number of open games.

Paris
Paris have also taken four wins from their last five league matches, so their recent results are solid even if not flawless. The 0-1 home loss to LOSC Lille is the outlier, but they responded well with a 4-0 win over Brest in their most recent league outing.
Earlier in that run, Paris beat Metz 3-1 away and Monaco 4-1 at home, with a 1-1 draw at Lorient in between. Those results point to a side that can score freely when things click, even if they are not completely watertight.

Lineups & Tactical Setup
Rennes (4-4-2)
Predicted lineup: Brice Samba (Goalkeeper), Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal (Defender), Alidu Seidu (Defender), Lilian Brassier (Defender), Quentin Merlin (Defender), Mahdi Camara (Midfielder), Mousa Tamari (Midfielder), Sebastian Szymanski (Midfielder), Valentin Rongier (Midfielder), Breel Embolo (Attacker), Estéban Lepaul (Attacker)
Rennes’ 4-4-2 should give them a compact shape in midfield, with Mahdi Camara helping to keep the centre balanced and support both phases of play. Breel Embolo and Estéban Lepaul give them a straightforward front pairing, so they can look to press early and attack quickly when possession turns over.
Paris (4-2-3-1)
Predicted lineup: Kevin Trapp (Goalkeeper), Diego Coppola (Defender), Hamari Traoré (Defender), Moustapha Mbow (Defender), Nhoa Sangui (Defender), Ilan Kebbal (Midfielder), Jonathan Ikoné (Midfielder), Marshall Munetsi (Midfielder), Moses Simon (Midfielder), Rudy Matondo (Midfielder), Willem Geubbels (Attacker)
Paris’ 4-2-3-1 gives them a clear central reference point, with Willem Geubbels leading the line and the three behind him able to support from different angles. The double pivot should help them stay organised without the ball, while also giving the attacking midfielders room to link play and break into the box.
Key Battles & Players to Watch
| Rennes | Paris | Text |
|---|---|---|
| Rennes | Paris | Breel Embolo will test Diego Coppola physically and Rennes will want him to pin the defence back. |
| Rennes | Paris | Mahdi Camara against Ilan Kebbal could shape the midfield battle, especially in second balls and transitions. |
| Rennes | Paris | Breel Embolo is key for Rennes because his movement and finishing give them a direct route to goal. |
| Rennes | Paris | Willem Geubbels is key for Paris because he is the main attacking outlet in the 4-2-3-1 and the focal point up front. |
