The biggest question for the upcoming Ligue 1 season is whether anyone can challenge PSG for the most important trophy in domestic football. The opening match was planned to be at the Parc des Princes, but extreme summer heatwaves ruined the grass, so the teams agreed to play in Rennes. Let's find the best betting option for the upcoming tie.

PSG have won four of the last five H2H matches against their next opponent. However, in the previous meeting, Rennes triumphed 3-1. Also, it is worth noting that we saw at least four goals in the last H2H games.
Rennes team overview
Rennes are almost regularly among the best teams in France. Last season, they were in contention for a Champions League spot, but eventually Franck Haise's team finished one point short of the desired position. They have similar expectations for the upcoming campaign. However, Rennes didn't play well recently, with three consecutive defeats in friendlies. In the most recent outing, Haise's team lost 2-1 against Sunderland.
Jeremy Jacquet, who left Rennes for Liverpool, is the only significant departure this summer. On the other hand, Franck Haise's team signed a few players who could be crucial for Rennes success this season, like Eliezer Mayenda (from Sunderland) and Charlie Cresswell (Toulouse).
Rennes should have almost a full squad on Sunday. The only absence should be Mahdi Camara.

PSG team overview
PSG are by far the best team in France. They won five consecutive Ligue 1 titles and will aim for another in the upcoming campaign. Also, PSG have the highest hopes in the Champions League, too, where they won the previous two trophies. Although the expectations are as high as possible, PSG didn't impress in the previous period. They had four matches this summer, including preseason, and won only once. The only victory was in the UEFA Super Cup, where Luis Enrique's team beat Aston Villa 2-1. A few days later, PSG surprisingly lost 1-0 against Lens in the national Super Cup.
PSG are probably stronger than they were last season. The team left Goncalo Ramos, Randal Kolo Muani, and Kang-in Lee. On the other hand, the most significant addition is Maghnes Akliouche, who had seven goals and ten assists for Monaco last season. Other important signings are Ferran Torres (from Barcelona), Mika Godts (Ajax), and Lucas Digne (Aston Villa).
After Bradley Barcola refused to extend his contract with PSG this summer, the player could leave the club. According to reports, Arsenal, Liverpool, Bayern Munich, and Chelsea are interested in signing the player.
PSG will be without Nuno Mendes, Bradley Barcola, and Ibrahim Mbaye on Sunday against Rennes.

Prediction
Both teams struggled in recent weeks. PSG won only once in four matches this summer, while Rennes lost the previous three games. Also, it is important to repeat that the upcoming clash will be played in Rennes, not at the Parc des Princes. We should expect Rennes to have a solid chance to cover the AH +1 spread on Sunday, as PSG seems far from their best form at the moment.
3 Reasons why Rennes should cover AH +1 spread
- PSG won only once in four matches this summer
- PSG conceded at least one goal in each of the previous four games
- Rennes won 3-1 in the last H2H match with PSG
