Rennes vs PSG, which one you bet?

I can't understand when Rennes will play with a full squad, the match attend in their home, PSG was completely beaten by Newcastle, and PSG can't able to win against Clermont Foot. But, why Rennes is the underdog in this match? the odds Rennes to win is @4.00, that's really high.

I have no reason to not bet Rennes.

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.

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.

Rennes vs PSG, which one you bet?

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.

I have no reason to not bet Rennes.

So, did you pick PSG for this match?

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.

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.

[rendravolt]

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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...

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.

[el kaka22]

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.

[Jossque]

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.

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.

[Jossque]

Lens, on the other hand, stopped playing badly after the first 5 weeks and we can say that they are starting to recover. Their opponents this time were Lille and they struggled. After falling behind with a goal at the end of the first half, the hosts managed to draw with a goal in the 70th minute. I think their defeat against Arsenal in the Champions League during the week was a great morale booster for them. I expected them to win this match but we saw that they were tired.
In the last match of the day, PSG defeated Rennes away and got an important 3 points. The Newcastle defeat must not have hit them too hard as they started the game well. Rennes is a team that usually goes against PSG, so it was one of the hardest teams for them to beat so far, but they were relieved to go 2-0 up in the first half.

Before the French Ligue 1 game between Rennes and Paris Saint Germaine had kicked off, I had already predicted that Paris Saint Germaine were gonna win the game comfortably if they play in their full strength. PSG having not been able to win in their last two games surely would want to win the game to boost the club's confidence once again and they got a good result they would've wished for if it was given them before kickoff.
Kylian Mbappe though didn't score in the game but was influential in the game by helping to provide for other of his teammates to score.

After losing to Newcastle United in the Champions League it seemed Enrique realised that the one-striker formation they tried to deploy in the Newcastle game wasn't going to work and switched to a similar scheme with Mbappe and Dembele on the wings and Ramos/Muani as central strikers.
This looks better as Dembele and Mbappe have more freedom to run around and the results are of course very good for them although this will still be regarded as fair when PSG manage to get 3 points in Ligue 1.
But this can't be taken as a complacency for PSG as they are still erratic in form so Enrique will have to do the same in the next few matches.

[Velvet78]

After point losses in the Ligue 1 and Champions League for two games PSG finally won a game. Honestly I didn't expect this game against Rennes to be comfortable at all. I even thought Rennes would get some points from them. However getting 2-0 ahead in the first half made things much easier than expectations.

Mbappe didn't make any goal contribution in this game. This has been the same for four games by the way. I'm curious about whether he has lost his concentration from now on. Especially after the Newcastle game he must be really frustrated.

I did not see the game so I can't say that or this against the players but the win brought them closer to the top four in the past few weeks.
If PSG had been a a much better position and form, this shouldn't be a game we all come back bashing the defending Champions.
I can't day about Mbappe, but if he hasn't made contribution in two matches it does seems like he is not happy within his current environment but has decided to make it secret and professional.
The win is important for the players, the fans and the manager. I want to see the way they approach the Champions League fixtures remaining.

In fact, if you look at the opportunities that exist, of course PSG can score a lot of goals in this match because Mbappe had many opportunities in this match but unfortunately he couldn't score even one goal. PSG played quite well from the first minute by immediately putting pressure on their opponent's players and their attack after attack succeeded in making them score goals in the 32nd and 36th minutes. Until the end of the first half, PSG could easily take the lead in this match. However, in the second half the hosts were able to play better but unfortunately they were only able to score 1 goal and at the end of the match PSG was able to win with a score of 1-3.

PSG finally managed to go stronger in Ligue 1 because this week they continued to stick closely to Monaco and Nice who are in 2nd and 1st place. Mbappe didn't score a goal and didn't provide an assist in this match but his performance was still quite good when compared to his current quality facing Newcastle United.

Rennes vs PSG, which one you bet?

I can't understand when Rennes will play with a full squad, the match attend in their home, PSG was completely beaten by Newcastle, and PSG can't able to win against Clermont Foot. But, why Rennes is the underdog in this match? the odds Rennes to win is @4.00, that's really high.

I have no reason to not bet Rennes.

I chose not to bet on that game, because it was a very unpredictable game, but I see that the final result was favorable for PSG, who up to 58 minutes into the game were already winning and had managed to score 3 goals, while their the opponent managed to score 1 goal in the 56th minute of the game, something interesting that happened again in this game and that mbappe didn't score a goal, if my memory doesn't betray me with this game, mbappe had already played 4 games without scoring a goal, this starts to be interesting because it shows that with this coach and squad, PSG no longer depends 100% on Mbappe, so he can leave the team when his contract ends.

but at the same time that if he is not scoring goals regularly, then he will not be the center of attention on the news channels and with that even the big teams may not have any interest in signing him, this is a situation that is beneficial for PSG is at the same time not beneficial to Mbappe. With today's victory, PSG now has 15 points in third place. Honestly, it's difficult to see and believe that PSG are doing so badly this season that they're even in third place and praying to stay in first place. This season it will be very difficult for PSG to be champions, if they make any more mistakes, then everything will be difficult for them. Monaco is not a very strong team in defense, but they have a strong attack, thanks to which they are at the top of the table

but Nice is strong in defense and weak in attack, but they are in second place, these are PSG's opponents in the fight for this season's title for now, I'm wondering how long we will see this scenario, it would be something funny if that reached the last round of the league
