Parisians have long lacked consistent competition on the domestic stage. Yes, sometimes there are teams that shine, like Monaco or Lille, but the current season has not been an exception. PSG confidently leads in Ligue 1, ahead of the closest competitor, Brest, by 12 points. In their last match, PSG visited Marseille, where they defeated the local club 2-0. The last time Parisians lost was at the beginning of November when they were defeated by Milan in the Champions League. However, in the league, their unbeaten streak has been since mid-September when the capital club lost at home to Nice.
As for Rennes, they are far from PSG’s level. Nevertheless, Rennes won the French Cup in 2019 and finished third in 2020, earning the right to play in the Champions League. However, this season has not been as successful for Rennes, and the team risks missing out on European competitions. Last weekend, Rennes lost 0-2 away to Strasbourg. This defeat was their second in the last four matches. Currently, Rennes occupies only eighth place in the Ligue 1 table, trailing teams in the European competition zone by three points.
