In Ligue 1 action on Sunday, PSG takes on Rennes at the Parc des Princes in an effort to extend their league winning streak to five games.
Last weekend, the Parisians defeated Brest with Kylian Mbappe’s extra-time goal, perhaps still reeling from their European defeat.
Bayern Munich eliminated Christophe Galtier’s team from the Champions League in the round of 16 with a 3-0 aggregate victory over the French champions in both legs.
With the league title at stake and PSG having a healthy 10-point lead over archrival Marseille, their focus is now on domestic success.
Since December, Rennes, on the other hand, have played most of their games with wins and losses, but their most recent match was a 0-0 draw against Auxerre.
They have dropped to fifth place in the Ligue 1 standings as a result, with 47 points from 27 games, after once being a contender for Champions League spots.

PSG vs Rennes Head to Head :
Rennes and PSG will meet for the 50th time in this matchup. The Parisians have defeated Rennes 23 times in their last 49 games, losing only 10 times. Rennes, on the other hand, prevailed 1-0 at home over PSG in the previous matchup.
In fact, PSG has lost three of their last six Ligue 1 games against Rennes, more than in their previous 15 games.
In addition to their previous 18 games this season, the Parisians have conceded at least one goal in eight of their last nine games in Ligue 1.
As many as in their previous 43 games, Rennes have failed to score in their last two Ligue 1 contests. Since September 2021, they have not conceded a goal in three straight games in the top division. After allowing just one goal in each of their previous 22 games (37 goals), Rennes has kept two clean sheets in their last two away games in Ligue 1.
PSG vs Rennes Team News :
PSG is almost certain to win their record 11th title with a ten-point lead at the top. Coach Christophe Galtier will almost certainly be fired at the conclusion of the season after the team suffered defeats in the French Cup and the Champions League round of 16 respectively.
But for the time being, he has a job to complete and eleven matches to play. In an effort to remain in contention for a spot in some of Europe’s competitions for the upcoming season, the visiting team maintains its position within the top five of the league ranking.
They wanted to play in the Champions League, but they won’t be able to because they won’t have their best player, Martin Terrier, with them. Jeremy Doku, Desire Doue, Lorenz Assignon, and Xeka are among the injured players who will not travel to Paris.
