Rennes vs PSG prediction, preview, team news and more | Ligue 1 2020-21
Rennes host PSG in Ligue 1 on Sunday as Mauricio Pochettino's side try to keep pace with Lille at the top of the table.
PSG know that if they drop any points between now and the end of the season, it could potentially mean ending the campaign without any silverware.
Pochettino's side will be looking to bounce back from their midweek loss against Manchester City in the Champions League. Le Parisians have won their last four league games and will hope to continue that form against Rennes on Sunday.
Meanwhile, Bruno Genesio's Rennes side suffered a shock defeat to Bordeaux last week, ending their six-game unbeaten streak in the league.
The loss put a huge dent in their hopes of finishing in the top five. Rennes are currently seventh in the league, two points off Marseille in fifth.
Genesio will know that any more dropped points could prove costly in the race for his side to qualify for the Europa League.
Both sides have it all to play for when they clash on Sunday and this is sure to make for an exciting match-up
