I believe Rennes must lay down their lives in the home match to take the crucial three points. Lille, whom Rennes must knock out of the Champions League spot, has a tough game today against Monaco, who are hot on Rennes' heels. Then Rennes will have to settle the score with Marseille, which will be very difficult. If you look at the whole situation, there will be some terrifying battles in this round of the French championship. There are two rounds left, and four teams are battling for the Conference League, Europa League, and Champions League, with some of them facing each other in these two rounds. Rennes absolutely cannot afford to lose points today against a completely unmotivated Paris, especially in a home match. I'm betting on a clear Rennes victory.
Surprisingly, at this stage of the season, PSG has yet to resolve any of its remaining tournament objectives. However, this week, Luis Enrique's team reached their second consecutive Champions League final and can now calmly focus on winning the title, which is literally within reach.
But to do that, they need to win this round so as not to postpone the task until the head-to-head meeting with their main rival โ no one needs unnecessary stress. Undoubtedly, the favorites will once again be at their best in this game, and given the emotional week, their mood is questionable.
But Brest is no longer a contender; they have defensive weaknesses and a far from stellar away record. In recent years, the Pirates have also been merciless against the Parisians in head-to-head matches. There's no reason to seriously expect anything this time either. The hosts have enough resources to cope with the task even without several of their key players โ they've demonstrated this on numerous occasions. Therefore, it is unlikely that the result will even be mutual, but PSG will achieve its goal by a margin.
