I thought that Rennes would make it difficult for PSG to win away from home this time, but PSG didn't stop scoring goals. Vitinha, Hakimi and Kolo Muani were PSG's goal scorers in this match and even though Mbappe didn't score, at least his team-mates could help win this time. PSG rose to 3rd place and they have the same points as Brest. Next week PSG will definitely win again and it looks like we will see the defending champions will soon occupy their throne again.

Marseille won after 4 weeks in the league and stopped their bad run. Of course Le havre is not a team that will challenge them but we know that Marseille has a hard time to win both in Europe and in the league. This time Marseille had no difficulty in beating their opponent and managed to get 3 points with 3 goals.
Lyon, on the other hand, are still without a win. They are having a really bad season and no matter what they do, they have not been able to fix it. Despite falling behind in the first half against their opponent, Lyon, who closed the first half 3-1 ahead with consecutive goals, could not keep the score. It was not a strong opponent, but a team that has given the quality and title contenders in the league a hard time. We are talking about a team that drew with PSG and Monaco and lost points.

It's really an easy game for PSG, to be fair I feel like PSG is still not going to do all that badly in the league, people are overreacting and they should not be overreacting to this season. I get that they had some issues at the start and may end up having more issues later on and right now they are trying a lot harder and not winning that easily etc etc, these are all valid opinions.

But, I also believe that they are still by far the best team right now and not really thinking that they will change it anytime soon. If you ask me it is going to end up with something that would be a lot harder for them to keep on losing, and should be something that will result with their championship in the end. There are some other good teams now, and they are doing fine, but that doesn't mean that they are going to end up with a title, all those teams are trying to be in the top four if you ask me and nothing more. This is not bad, being second is still a ton of money.

Another tough Ligue One R8 matchday live at Roazhon Park. I'm not surprised watching the home side losing, what surprised is me the frontline of Paris Saint-Germain having zero attempts to score goals, instead midfielders are the ones scoring for PSG. It's high time Luis Enrique make some changes because these frontlines are probably not working hard enough to mount pressure on Rennes inother to scored, a team where there's Kylian Mbappe, Goncalo Ramos and Ousmane Dembele in the frontline, none have goals, it's shocking.
Rennes losing 2 nil presently and its 55th minutes in the second half.

Rennes 0 - 2 PSG in the first half. That's a good result for the moment and PSG should keep pushing and win this game.
Brest were able to pick a point in the last moments of the game vs Toulouse after being down with a goal. Lille couldn't win vs Lens and Lyon had a draw with Lorient. Poor results for all of them and there wasn't much change in the bottom of the table.
Meanwhile, Montpellier risk to be sanctioned after one of their supporters throw a small game explosive near Clermont goalkeeper at the end of the game while they were leading 4 - 2. Such stupid and silly attitude...

I bet for PSG against Rennes. 25 minutes of the game is already over, in these 25 minutes PSG is showing me coming to win this match. In the 25 minutes that have been played so far, PSG have been able to keep more of the ball to themselves as well as trying to attack PSG although their attacks have not been able to find a single target. I haven't bet much money on PSG but I'm still waiting for PSG to win. In addition to keeping the ball in their possession, PSG will have to be more focused on the counter. Don't just keep the ball to yourself, try to score as well. If PSG can score a goal before half time, PSG will go a long way in this match.

Lyon and Lorient match ended in a draw even though the initial match was very exciting, it looked like Lorient would dominate the match but that was only the beginning and it turns out that Lyon was able to compete well today, making comeback after knowing strategy used by Lorient and one side it seems that Lyon has started to improve it performance for immediately rise to avoid the relegation zone.
Because at this time if Lyon not immediately improve quality of its performance, I'm sure it not be able to escape the relegation zone, but if it want to remain in League 1, Fabio Grosso must immediately find a way to find strategy to leave the relegation zone and Lyon should compete at home to be able to get the opportunity to steal it. 3 points from Lorient but unfortunately failed.
Actually, if you are successful in getting 3 points in next match, you can also get 3 points against Clermont. I believe Lyon position will be better and after seeing Lyon current performance, I have little doubt that Lyon will not be able to beat Clermont in next match.

Well, what I feared actually happened and in the second half Lyon's defense started to falter which made them concede 2 goals and at the same time made the score end in a 3-3 draw. Lyon failed to maintain their lead in the first half and as I said before they had to strengthen their defense so as not to concede but it seemed like Lyon couldn't do it and Lorient managed to take advantage of the gap in Lyon's defense to score a goal. This result meant that Lyon had to return to the red zone this week and they failed to achieve their first win after being held to a draw by Lorient.

I get lucky with Fulltime Draw results lately. It's my best pick for this game tonight. Same goes with Napoli!

I double doubt League 1 defending Champions would want to lose this game tonight, so I picked the safest and that would be if both sides shared the points. So far, we've seen the game ongoing without a single goal.

I'll go see how.good they have been at home, I would back them up to win if they are impressive at home.

both teams will be playing after midweek european matches. so a lot depends on their bench. Rennes at home looks very good and PSG this year is far away from its last year conditions.

Neither from both of clubs.
I would prefer to take btts instead of PSG to win the game. PSG was rarely able winning the game against rennes when it was playing away. Rennes was also consistent on its performance. It can be seen from so many draws acquired by this tea

The odds providers might have special reason they put rennes's odds very high. I can't even believe it rennes got 4 for this match. Betting on rennes is not that bad for someone who was willing to take the risk.
PSG was never winning against rennes when it was playing away since a few years ago. I think this trend will still continue.

I hope PSG will have same performance like when it was facing clermoont.

So, did you pick PSG for this match?

It's hard to predict who will be the winner in this match, given that both clubs are not in good form. But I still put Paris Saint Germain as the club that has a greater chance than its opponent, Rennes.
Both Paris Saint Germain and Rennes have a chance to win, and it is possible that both clubs will share points in this match. Rennes will be the host, that may be their advantage in this match to put pressure on Paris Saint Germain.
In less than 3 hours this match will take place, let's see. But I will avoid this match to be included in my betting list.

Quite surprised indeed, because at this moment PSG really experienced a decline in quality and decreased performance, but in fact PSG was still the favorite. Despite the fact, last season Rennes also managed to beat PSG for home and away matches. So, if I consider Rennes head to head against PSG last season and also, PSG condition at this moment which not entirely good. So yes, I think Rennes also still has a chance to win in this home match against PSG although indeed, it will certainly not be easy for Rennes but still, it looks like Rennes will have a good chance for final result in this match.

Though Paris Saint Germaine has been inconsistent with their results since the start of the season but against Rennes today, I think PSG are going to win the game.
They've not been able to win in their last two matches in all competitions, the last one was a heavy defeat in the UEFA Champions League away at Newcastle last midweek, so I think they're gonna try and make up for their shortcomings by playing in their full strength today and winning against Rennes.

Brest has disappointed their fans today with a poor performance against Toulouse, they were the  favorites to win the games based on their performances and position in the league their odds was even very favorable but they conceded in the 1st half and failed to get a reply, I'm suprised to see that a team that were in the 2nd position and are playing carelessly against a team that were in the 11th position on the table.

  Suprisenly they scored an equalizer at the extra time of the game and atleast secured a point to get about 15 points just a point behind Nice, and if they has won they would've remained in the 2nd position, however Toulouse would be more disappointed at themselves for conceding a goal at the late minutes of the game, they would've moved up to 7th position if they had won the game.

Considering that PSG's performance is very unstable, both on the front line and in defense, it is natural that there are many doubts about this team when it comes to their match. We know that PSG were previously beaten by Newcastle and drew against Clermont the previous week. In this match, I tried to refer to several sources for predictions of Luis Enqieu's squad line-up. There are several differences that Enrique will use in this match, I'm not even sure what pattern Enrique will use. but if Enrique experiments with a 4-2-3-1 system again, like when they played against Newcastle, I really doubt they will win this match. except, Enrique continues to play Mbappe on the wing. Apart from that, ideally Kolo Muani should be the center forward rather than Gamcalo Ramos.

As for other predictions, Enrique will apply his flagship system with a 4-3-3 pattern. However, it seems that there is a rotation being carried out. referring to this prediction, Mbappe will play as a center forward, Barcola and Dembele will continue to play on the wings.  the rest, no change. From several predictions that I refer to, this 4-3-3 pattern is ideal for me.

Now we are talking from Rennes side, their performance is not that good. However, in their 7 matches they are unbeaten. 2 wins, 5 matches ended in a draw. in other competitions, they have just been defeated by Villarreal in the Europa League. Apart from that, it seems that Rennes has a pretty good defense, they only conceded 7 goals in 7 Ligue 1 matches. In this match, Rennes acts as the home team, they will provide resistance when hosting PSG.
Now we refer to betting options, even though Paris Saint-Germain's performance is unstable, they are still favourites. they have odds @1.94, while Rennes @3.70. The question is, will this match end in a draw, I don't think so. For me personally, there is nothing wrong with betting on PSG. After all, the odds offered are quite attractive.

It is not over until the game ends, Lorient has gotten a second goal through Eli Junior Kroupi. The French International's brace has rekindled the hope for his club to at least get a draw in this game. In terms of ball possession, Lorient has the upper hand but Lyon has created more chances than the visitors. This game has created fewer chances but both teams have maximized the little opportunities they had. Lyon needs to win this game to leave the bottom of Ligue 1, while Lorient will remain in 16th position if they lose or draw. But a win will take the visitors to 13th position.  Winning this game will be a big boost to Lyon, while Lorient needs this win to move out of the relegation zone.

This match very interesting and Lorient actually led by one score, but Lyon was able to make a good comeback in the first half. That's right, Fabio Grosso seems really understand and now Lyon performance in this match was very satisfying, but we will see in the second half which has now started again. Lyon should be able to secure the three points very well and can maintain their advantage in the second half. As you said, a difference of 2 goals is enough for Lyon to win.

After having poor performances in the previous matches and losing about 5 games out of eight,  they've finally secured  their 1st winning and though the 3-1 win they secured today couldn't take them away from the relegation zone but it would help boost the confidence level of the players to do better in their next match and I hope they bounce back into a good form soon and leave the relegation zone.

 Anyways they were definitely the favorites to win cause they were playing with a team that's currently in the same level as them this season, the 2nd half have just kicked off and lyon ar still dominating the game with a good percentage and I doubt that Lorient would be able to get a comeback, Lyon's star player Lacazette is at his best today and have secured a brace and I feel he'll score another goal to make it a hat-trick.

The first half has ended and what a surprise Lyon managed to take the lead with a convincing score of 3-1. This is a home match for Lyon and finally they have a chance to win through this match. Lorient couldn't do much and they were only able to score 1 goal so far and Lyon managed to take the lead with braces scored by Lacazette and Nuamah. Fabio Grosso seems to be starting to really understand what the team needs and he is able to provide a breath of fresh air for Lyon who are currently slumped at the bottom of the table. Lyon must maintain this advantage because I think the 2 goal difference is enough and they just need to strengthen their defense so they don't concede easily in the second half.
