The Ligue 1 is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Rennes lock horns with Christophe Galtier's impressive PSG side in a clash at the Roazhon Park on Sunday.
Rennes vs PSG Preview
Rennes are currently in fourth place in the Ligue 1 standings and have been fairly impressive so far this season. The home side slumped to a shock 2-1 defeat at the hands of Clermont Foot last week and will need to bounce back in this fixture.
PSG, on the other hand, are at the top of the league table at the moment and have been in excellent form so far this season. The Parisian giants eased past Angers by a 2-0 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Rennes vs PSG Prediction
PSG have an excellent squad at their disposal and are the favorites to win the Ligue 1 title this season. Lionel Messi scored his first goal since the World Cup last week and will look to replicate his heroics in this fixture.
Rennes can pack a punch on their day and have troubled PSG on several occasions in the past. PSG are the better team on paper, however, and should be able to win this game.
