Ligue 1 frontrunners Paris Saint-Germain are scheduled to face Rennes at the Parc des Princes on Friday evening, looking to uphold their unbeaten streak in the 2024-25 season.
The home side have recorded four victories and one draw in their first five league encounters, whereas the visitors currently sit in eighth place with seven points from their initial matches.
Following the exit of star player, Kylian Mbappe, to Real Madrid on a free transfer this summer, many expected PSG to face tougher challenges this season. However, Luis Enrique's side have continued to perform well, remaining unbeaten in their first six matches across all competitions.
They began the season strongly, winning their first four games with an impressive aggregate score of 16-3, though their performance has slightly dipped in the last two outings.
Meanwhile, the visitors have had a steady start to the season, sitting mid-table with seven points from five games. After a strong 3-0 win over Lyon in their opener, Julian Stephan's side suffered consecutive losses to Strasbourg and Reims, dampening their early momentum.

The hosts may be missing up to six players for Friday's clash due to a range of injury concerns, many of which have arisen recently.
