Rennes, meanwhile, are unbeaten in two league outings and drew 1-1 at home with Lens last week. Arnaud Kalimuendo broke the deadlock from the spot in the first half before M'Bala Nzola equalised in the sixth minute of stoppage time for Lens.

PSG vs Rennes Prediction

PSG have a 100% home record this season, scoring 10 goals and conceding once.

Desire Doue, Marco Asensio and Vitinha are confirmed absentees for the hosts alongside Presnel Kimpembe, who's expected to return after the October international break. Goncalo Ramos and Lucas Hernandez are long-term absentees. They play Arsenal next week in the UEFA Champions League, so manager Luis Enrique is likely to rotate his squad.

Rennes, meanwhile, are unbeaten in two games after the international break. Interestingly, they have suffered defeats in two Ligue 1 away games this term. Glen Kamara and Carlos Andres Gomez should be back in the squad for the trip to Paris, while Jota will sit this one out due to a muscle injury.

Considering the reigning champions' unbeaten record this term and home advantage, the Parisians are expected to eke out a narrow win.
