Match Preview
PSG will be looking to maintain or increase their 10-point advantage at the top of the Ligue 1 table when they host Rennes at the Parc des Princes on Sunday afternoon. Christophe Galtier’s side managed a dramatic 2-1 win over Brest last week, while the visitors could only manage a goalless draw with Auxerre.
PSG still can’t get over their failure in the Champions League, but they have at least managed to increase their lead in the Ligue 1 standings to double digits, having faced threats from Marseille and Lens.
The league title may be the only consolation for Galtier in his maiden season, as the former Lille coach is in danger of being sacked next summer. However, maintaining PSG’s excellent home record is the main focus for the pressured coach at the moment.
In fact, Galtier was the last coach to beat PSG at the Parc des Princes in Ligue 1 – winning 1-0 with Lille in April 2021 – but since then, the reigning champions have not lost in 35 consecutive league home games, scoring in all matches barring a goalless draw with Nice which Galtier also manages in December 2021.
Rennes are also unable to relax after failing to score in two successive games against Marseille and Auxerre. A top three finish has been made even more difficult for Bruno Genesio’s side, who are also still reeling from their Europa League exit by Shakhtar Donetsk.
Winning just two of their last six league games, Les Rouges et Noir have dropped to sixth in the table – four points behind Monaco and 10 clear of Lens in third – while Lille are just two points away and could move Rennes out of the final European places. this week.
One of the positives of the draw with Auxerre was a third clean sheet in four league games for Rennes, but only three of their last 15 away league games have ended in wins – hardly a performance worthy of a team dreaming of a return to the Champions League.
