Rennes are set to host Paris Saint-Germain at Roazhon Park on Friday, February 13th, 2026, with kick-off scheduled for 7.00 PM CET (8.00 PM WAT / 6.00 PM GMT). PSG are cruising at the top of Ligue 1 under Luis Enrique, and they come into this fixture on a pretty unbeatable seven-game winning streak, including a whopping 5-0 thrashing of Rennes back in December last year. Unfortunately for Rennes, they’re not exactly flying high at the moment – they’re 6th in the table, having had a recent change of management, and are due for a real test against the reigning champions.
Match Summary
PSG are looking almost unbeatable, currently sitting pretty at the top of the table thanks to their goal-scoring machine (they’ve managed 48 in their last games) and a incredibly solid defence. To top it all off, they’ve won their last 7 Ligue 1 matches – a 5-0 thrashing of Marseille in the Classique being one of their most recent victories. Rennes, meanwhile, are on a run of no wins in their last four, and a change of management hasn’t quite clicked yet, making a tough home game against PSG all the more daunting. In their earlier meeting, PSG absolutely pounded Rennes 5-0, and it’s clear they’re the team in the driving seat.
At Roazhon Park, though, Rennes are known to put up a good fight, and their home form might just be good enough to cause a bit of trouble for PSG’s attacking line. But truth is, PSG’s depth and current form make them a real heavy favourite for this match – and it’s likely to be a goal-filled affair in any case, especially as Rennes’ defence is likely to struggle to keep PSG’s attack at bay.
This is, after all, a top-of-the-table clash with top team looking to maximum points – and Rennes are unlikely to be able to stop them in their tracks.
Head-to-head: PSG have definitely got the upper hand over the last few games, pretty much dominating (and winning convincingly for that matter).
Possible Line Ups
Rennes (3-5-2): Samba/Silistrie – Seidu, Rouault, Brassier – Nordin, Camara, Rongier, Merlin/Szymanski, Tamari – Lepaul, Breel Embolo
Injuries are mounting up for Rennes – we’re talking Glen Kamara, Jérémy Jacquet, Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal, Przemyslaw Frankowski, and a few others all out due to knocks. Breel Embolo leads the attack, and his size, power, and threat up front should be a handful for the opposition defence.
Paris Saint-Germain (4-3-3): Safonov – Hakimi, Marquinhos, Pacho, Mendes – Zaire-Emery, Vitinha, Neves – Ousmane Dembélé, Barcola, Kvaratskhelia
Luis Enrique’s experimenting with a few different options ahead of a busy schedule, which means that Senny Mayulu and Fabián Ruiz are both out injured, along with Quentin Ndjantou. Ousmane Dembélé brings creativity and skill out wide, while Khvicha Kvaratskhelia adds a bit of flair and some real pace with Bradley Barcola.
Prediction
The odds are stacked against Rennes at the moment, and it’s likely going to be a long night for the home side. Ousmane Dembélé and Khvicha Kvaratskhelia are both likely to cause some problems – and PSG’s midfield are pretty dominant, which should keep Rennes’ counter-attacks to a minimum. Rennes might just manage to get on the board through Breel Embolo‘s physical presence – but all things considered, a PSG win looks like the way to go.
Final score prediction: Rennes 1-3 Paris Saint-Germain
