Stade Rennais vs. Paris Saint-Germain 10/3/21 Ligue 1 Soccer Pick, Odds, and Prediction

Stade Rennais is hosting Paris Saint-Germain at Roazhon Park in round 9 of the French Ligue 1. Rennais is a decent team, they are on a 3-game streak without a loss, but they are nowhere close to the team they were last season. PSG has won every game in Ligue 1 so far this season, and they have beaten PSG in the Champions League earlier this week.

Rennes hasn’t had a good start to the season, they have only 2 wins, and they are in 14^th place with 9 points. Neither their offense nor defense have been clicking, and they will need to fix that as soon as possible if they want to compete for the Europa League. In their last Ligue 1 game against Bordeaux on the road, Rennes was the better team, but that is not hard when you play against Bordeaux. Rennais has had 54% of ball possession, 8 shots on goal, 6 corner kicks, 1 big chance created, and 79% of the correct passes. Rennais has gotten ahead, but as the game was coming to an end, Bordeaux has scored a goal, and the final score was 1-1. Gelin, Doku, and Majer are injured, but some of them might be ready for this game. Sulemana is the leading goalscorer for Rennais with 3 goals. Rennais is a decent team, they have some great players, but as I’ve said, they are not even a shadow of a team they were last season.

PSG is on fire this season, they are scoring a ton of goals, and after beating Manchester City in the Champions League, they are filled with confidence. With 46% of ball possession, 3 shots on goal, 2 corner kicks, 0 big chances created, and 86% of the correct passes, PSG was solid in this game. With 1 scored goal in each half and a great performance from Donnarumma on goal, PSG has won this game 2-0. This was the game where Messi has scored his first goal for PSG, and now I think the flood gates will open, and goals will just keep coming. Mbappe has scored 5 goals and added 4 assists for PSG in Ligue 1 so far this season, and he will be in the lineup here as well. Ramos is now the only injured player for PSG, but his recovery is coming to an end soon. PSG is the best team in Ligue 1, and there is no way anyone else can take over the top this season, but the Champions League is their main goal, and with Messi in the lineup, that has become very real.

PSG hasn’t lost any of their last 9 games on the road, and they haven’t lost any of their last 10 games overall. PSG is the better and deeper team here, and despite them playing in the Champions League earlier this week, they are going to win here.
