On Friday evening, two mid-table teams, Paris FC and Rennes, will face off against each other at Stade Jean Bouin in Paris. Both teams are coming to this match after great wins, as Paris FC won 1:0 against Monaco, and Rennes 4:1 vs Stasbourg.
Let's break down the match and find the best possible bet for this Ligue 1 tie.
Paris FC team overview
Paris FC have secured a historic promotion to Ligue 1 last year after a 46-year wait! While their only goal this season is to survive, the Parisians are doing a really good job and could even get involved in the battle for Europe. Right now, they are in 11th place with 14 points from 11 rounds. Six points away from both European spots and the relegation spots.
After a 1:0 win over Monaco, coach Stéphane Gilli spoke to the media. He was very happy with a win, saying winning against Monaco is no small thing. "It was a victory built on collective effort and focus, not on style. We stayed united and managed the game well until the final whistle," the coach added.

Rennes team overview
Rennes had really good results between 2019/2020 and 2022/23, constantly finishing between 3rd and 6th place in those four years. However, last season was a failure as they finished 10th and missed out on Europe. Now, they are surely eager to return to the upper half of the league's table and Europe. Unfortunately, the Red and Blacks aren't doing much better than last season. They are now in 10th place with 15 points from 11 rounds - 1.4 per game. Compared to the last season, that is only around 0.2 points per game more.
According to the club website, Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal is suspended for a game against Paris FC after receiving a yellow card on Wednesday in Toulouse. It is an unfortunate moment for the 19-year-old central defender, considering he just started two games in a row before the Paris FC game.

Prediction
Paris FC went over 2.5 goals in three out of the last four games and are generally a team that often plays high-scoring games. In 11 games this season, they were over 2.5 goals on seven occasions - 64%. And Rennes are even better for this bet - the best in the league. Eight out of 11 games ended with three or more goals - 73%. Lately, they have played only high-scoring games as they have gone over the mentioned line in the past five matches and over 3.5 in four out of those five matches.
On the road, Rennes really struggled defensively, allowing two or more goals in four out of five games, and have yet to face the top teams like PSG, Marseille, Lille, Lens, Lyon, or Monaco. So, it is fair to expect them to continue with such performances.
Meanwhile, Paris FC haven't been good defensively at home either. They also allowed two or more goals in four out of five games at Stade Jean Bouin.
Considering all the above, but especially the mentioned poor defensive performances from those teams, we expect a high-scoring game, most likely with both teams scoring.
4 Reasons why we should see three or more goals
- Paris FC went over 2.5 goals in four out of five home games
- Rennes went over 2.5 goals in four out of five road matches
- Rennes allowed 11 goals in five road games - 2.2 per game
- Paris FC allowed two or more goals in four out of five home games
