Rennes vs PSG Prediction 13 February 2026
🔊 Can Rennes halt their losing streak and challenge the reigning champions? In the 22nd round of Ligue 1, the Bretons will host PSG at Roazhon Park. The hosts approach the match following a coaching change and a string of poor results, while the Parisians are in fine form with seven consecutive league victories. Read our prediction for this matchup in our article.
Head-to-Head
📊 In their last six head-to-head encounters, Rennes have failed to defeat PSG: with the Parisians securing five wins and one draw. The goal difference during this period stands at 14-3 in favor of the capital club. In the first round of the current season, PSG thrashed their opponents 5-0. The Parisians consistently break through the Breton defense by pressuring the initial phase of their build-up play and launching swift counterattacks after turnovers.
Head-to-head statistics Rennes - PSG
Stade Rennes Team Overview
🔴 Rennes are currently 6th in the table with 31 points, but they're heading into this match amidst significant turbulence. Following a string of poor results, the club parted ways with Habib Beye, and Sébastien Tambouré is temporarily taking over as head coach. In the league, the Bretons have suffered three consecutive defeats, conceding 12 goals in their last four official matches.
⚫ The main issue lies in the gaps between the lines and errors during transitional phases, which consistently put their defense under pressure. In the last round, Rennes fell to Lens with a 3-1 scoreline, once again struggling to cope with the opponent's intensity. Additional personnel concerns in the defensive line only complicate matters ahead of a clash with Ligue 1's most prolific attack.

Paris Saint-Germain Team Overview
🔵 PSG currently sit at the top of the table with 51 points and a goal difference of 48:16, having won seven consecutive matches in Ligue 1. Under Luis Enrique, the team showcases a balance between attacking prowess and tempo control, with over 2.5 goals scored in six of their last seven league games.
🔴 In their last outing, the capital club demolished Marseille 5-0, dominating both the midfield and the flanks. Ousmane Dembélé registered a brace and an assist. However, PSG tend to concede more goals on the road than at home, which gives the hosts a chance to find the back of the net.

Latest news
Stade Rennes
🎙Record-breaking transfer: Rennes defender Jeremy Jacquet is set to join Liverpool for £60 million (£55 million plus £5 million in bonuses). The 20-year-old will finish the season in France and officially join the English club on July 1, 2026.
❌ Injury woes complicate matters: Djawi Cisse, Przemyslaw Frankowski, and Zabiri are sidelined. Jeremy Jacquet is a doubt and might face a lengthy absence, while Abdelhamid Ait-Boudial is out for several weeks. These defensive losses are particularly concerning ahead of the clash against Ligue 1's most prolific attack.
Paris Saint-Germain
🎙 Luis Enrique emphasized the importance of Khvicha Kvaratskhelia for the team: "He's a key player for us. We wanted to carefully plan his return because he needs to play a crucial role in the second half of the season." The winger has fully recovered and is getting back into shape, enhancing the Parisians' attacking potential.
❌ The Parisians are relatively calm regarding player absences. Currently, three players are sidelined: Senny Meyulu (calf muscle), Fabian Ruiz (knee bruise), and Quentin N'Djantu, who underwent hip surgery and is out for an extended period. PSG's squad depth allows them to compensate for these losses without significantly impacting their quality of play.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The referee for this match, Benoit Bastien, averages 3.1 yellow cards per game and has only exceeded four yellow cards in two matches this season. He is one of the more restrained referees in Ligue 1 regarding disciplinary actions.
Looking at the head-to-head encounters, in 3 out of the last 5 matches between Rennes and PSG, there were more than three yellow cards shown. The clashes are often intense, especially as the hosts try to bridge the quality gap with aggression in midfield. Considering Bastien's moderate officiating style but the emotional nature of these encounters, a total of over 3 yellow cards seems like a reasonable prediction.
⚽️ Goals Prediction
PSG are currently stable in attack: 6 out of their last 7 league matches have ended with over 2.5 goals. Meanwhile, Rennes have conceded 12 goals in their last four official games. The Parisians tend to start games aggressively and often score first. However, given their tendency to concede on the road, a goal exchange is quite possible. Therefore, we expect an open match with high intensity and opt for a total of over 3 goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
PSG consistently apply pressure down the wings and regularly rack up corners: they have taken more than 4.5 corners in five consecutive matches. On the road, this trend continues with 6 against Strasbourg, 7 against Auxerre, and 10 against Sporting. There is a clear pattern in head-to-head matches: Rennes have taken fewer than 4.5 corners in 8 of their last 9 matches against PSG, and at home, in 6 of the last 7. The overall total has been under 9.5 in 9 of the last 10 encounters.
Indeed, Rennes often exceed 3.5 corners at home, but against PSG, the game structure changes - the hosts tend to concede possession and standard situations. The optimal choice for this match is an individual total of PSG over 4.5 corners.
Editor's Prediction
Rennes are navigating a challenging period with a coaching change, a string of defeats, and defensive issues. In contrast, PSG are riding high on a seven-match winning streak in the league, showcasing a much more organized game structure. Considering the current form, head-to-head statistics, and the attacking prowess of the Parisians, a PSG victory with a -1 handicap appears to be a reasonable prediction. The expected scoreline is 4-1.
