PSG will be looking to climb up the 2023-34 Ligue 1 standings with a win over Rennes when the teams meet at the Roazhon Stadium on Sunday.
The Parisians' season has not gone according to plan so far. The team has only won three out of their seven league games so far and are currently fifth in the standings, already five points behind league leaders Monaco. Moreover, they are heading into this fixture on the back of a shocking 4-1 defeat at the hands of Newcastle United.
Rennes are only one of two teams who are yet to lose a Ligue 1 game this season. However, they are currently eighth as five out of their seven league games have ended as draws. They will fancy an upset against PSG due to the visitors' woeful form.
