PSG vs Rennes Soccer Prediction Today
Paris Saint-Germain
The game will be a party. On Tuesday, May 8, PSG secured the “triple crown” by winning the French Cup by defeating, in the final, 2: 0, Les Herbiers, team of the Third Division. The trophy will divide space in the gallery of cups of the club with the Ligue 1 and also the prize of the League Cup, which were also won this season.
With 92 points (29 wins, five draws and two losses), Paris Saint-Germain still holds the lead in the best attack rankings with 108 goals scored and a less-leveled defense with 27 goals conceded. He will close his participation in the 2017/2018 Ligue 1 season against Caen outside the home on May 19.
For the game that marks the farewell homecoming, coach Unai Emery, who will leave the club at the end of the season, will not be able to count on right-back Daniel Alves (25 games in the 2017/2018 French Championship, one goal). He suffered a series concussion in the Ligue 1 decision and is even threatened to stay out of the 2018 World Cup in Russia. Early evaluations indicate he will have to move away from the grass for at least three weeks.
Who is close to making his return to the team is Neymar (20 games, 19 goals). Recovered from surgery, he has returned to training. However, he still should not be released to perform this Saturday. The expectation is that he is on the field against Caen, on the eve of the Brazilian national team’s call for the World Cup.
Another absence in the game this Saturday, also by injury, is midfielder Marco Verratti (22 games, no goal).
Rennes
For Rennes, the game is very important. With a great reaction in the last ten rounds, when he got five wins and four draws, the team moved up to fifth. He reached 54 points (15 wins, nine equals and five losses) entering the qualifying zone for the Europa League.
Classification, however, is not guaranteed. St. Etienne, sixth with 52 points, and Nice, seventh with 51, are still struggling to claim the right to compete in the continental competition.
Having the opportunity to define his situation in the last round at home against Montpellier, Rennes need to score in Paris to not need other results than his victory. The club’s performance as a Ligue 1 visitor is encouraging in that regard. Of the 18 games he played away from his dominions, the club scored in 13 (seven wins and six draws). It is the fifth best in this area.
For the match against PSG, coach Sabri Lamouchi has only one problem of injury. Brandon Llamas (11 matches in the French Championship 2017/2018, one goal) is undergoing treatment for injury recovery.
Soccer Prediction of the Day PSG vs Rennes
The lack of goals to be won in the two games that are lacking and the laziness shown by PSG in recent matches indicates the draw as a good choice for Saturday’s game.
