In the eighth gameweek of the French Ligue 1, Rennes will play host to PSG. This enthralling encounter is set to take place on Sunday, October 8, at the Roazhon Park. The curtain will rise on the match at 20:45 Central European Time.
Rennes
Rennes, a consistent flag-bearer for France on the European stage, boasts a unique model of cultivating talent for lucrative transfers, all the while maintaining commendable results at the pinnacle of French football. Just this summer, they brokered the transfer of Ugochukwu to Chelsea for a sum of €27 million, and Jeremy Doku's departure to Manchester City fetched them a staggering €60 million.
In Ligue 1, the team currently occupies the sixth spot after seven rounds and has also made a promising start in European competition. In the Europa League, Rennes secured a win against Maccabi Haifa but faced a setback against Spain's Villarreal.
PSG
Post the high-profile departures of Messi and Neymar, and amidst the transition of managerial helm, the Parisians are seemingly grappling to find their stride under the directives of Luis Enrique. While their season's onset hasn't been calamitous, some of PSG's outcomes are eyebrow-raising. A solitary defeat came against Nice, and surprisingly, they were held to a draw by Ligue 1 minnows, Clermont. This, despite confidently dispatching Marseille in a previous fixture. In the Ligue 1 standings, PSG trails the pole position by a mere two points and remains the odds-on favourite for the title. On the Champions League front, Enrique's men clinically dispatched Borussia Dortmund (2:0) but were humbled by Newcastle (1:4).
