Rennes vs Paris Saint-Germain prediction 13.02.2026 | Ligue 1

Rennes’ Ligue 1 season has been marked by periods of promise and turbulence. As of Round 22, they have recorded eight wins, seven draws, and six losses, reflecting the profile of a stable mid-table side. The last few weeks, however, have been particularly challenging: Rennes have failed to secure a single victory in five matches, including three consecutive Ligue 1 defeats. Maintaining defensive solidity has also proved difficult, as they have conceded nine goals across their last three league fixtures.

Off the pitch, Rennes have recently sacked manager Habib Beye following a run of poor results, including a home defeat to Lens and elimination from the Coupe de France, leaving the club in transition under interim coaching staff. Key defensive signing and young centre-back Jérémy Jacquet has suffered a serious shoulder injury, further compounding defensive concerns ahead of a tough matchup.

PSG’s campaign has been overwhelmingly positive. With 48 league goals in 21 games, they sit top of the table, boasting the most potent attack in France, powered by scorers such as Bradley Barcola (7 goals) and Ousmane Dembélé (12 goals). The reigning Ligue 1 champions have responded well to a 2-1 Champions League defeat to Sporting Lisbon, putting together a run of four unbeaten matches, including back-to-back league victories over Strasbourg and Marseille. Their latest 5-0 thrashing of arch-rivals Marseille, in particular, served as a statement of intent ahead of the clash with Rennes.

On the injury front, PSG have dealt with some notable absences - Désiré Doué, Achraf Hakimi, and Nuno Mendes have missed time through various issues earlier in the season - but PSG have largely maintained depth to cope, and recent reports suggest attackers are returning to fitness ahead of key fixtures.
