PSG welcome Rennes to their home ground in the Ligue 1 match on Friday. While the hosts are looking for a comfortable title, the visitors would like to take advantage of the poor long-term form of Lille or Lyon to qualify for the Champions League.

PSG have won their last three Ligue 1 matches and have built up a comfortable cushion at the top of the table. Marseille, on the other hand, currently have a thirteen point lead and can fully focus on the Champions League play-offs.

Rennes are also doing well, winning two of the last three rounds and jumping up to fifth in the table. They are only a point behind fourth-placed Strasbourg, while Lyon, on the other hand, are only three points ahead of eighth-placed Lyon. A loss could mean a significant drop down the table.

In the last round, Lionel Messi scored a goal and an assist and has a 2+7 record in the league.

Winger Martin Terrier is doing well for the visitors, the former U21 international has already scored eleven times. Forward Gaëtan Laborde has scored sixteen goals. He scored eleven goals and assisted five others.

The Parisians are the best offensively and defensively. In Ligue 1, they have already scored fifty-one goals (the 2nd best, Strasbourg, has scored forty-five), while conceding only nineteen.

Rennes are not bad in this respect either, their goal difference (+22) is the best in the league except for PSG, they have scored nine goals in the last three rounds.

Considering Messi’s improving form, I think Paris will win and score two goals at most.
