Paris FC vs Rennes: Match preview

Paris FC secured their return to France's top flight last season and immediately established themselves in the division. The team have continued to produce fairly solid results this campaign. In their opening six matches, they recorded three wins and two draws, suffering just one defeat, which came in their most recent outing against Lorient, a 1-0 loss. Despite that setback, Paris FC currently have 11 points from six rounds and sit fifth in the table. The standings are extremely tight at the moment, but if Paris FC can maintain this level of performance, they will have a strong chance of competing for European qualification.

Rennes have also made a strong start to the Ligue 1 season and currently sit third in the French top flight. They have collected 13 points from six matches. Their only defeat came against Lyon, while they also drew with PSG and have won all their other games. As mentioned above, the table is incredibly congested, so Rennes will need to work hard to establish themselves in the UEFA Champions League places or secure another European qualification spot. However, they have been playing very good football so far, which gives them a solid chance of achieving that goal. They will nevertheless need to maintain their current level of performance.
