H2H: PSG vs Rennes – Comparison.

Spanning four goalscoring appearances across two clubs, each of PSG loan signing Moise Kean’s six goals this term have come during matches where his side on the day has won one half by a 2-0 scoreline. Serhou Guirassy has averaged 1.5 goals per match across Rennes’ two L1 away wins attained so far. However, Nayef Aguerd was the man to score both deciding goals. PSG’s average margin of triumph across their six 38-game title-winning seasons over the past decade is 15.5 points.

PSG Insights.

Seven straight Ligue 1 (L1) victories have thrust PSG back to their familiar perch, after a perfect October which saw them win seven of eight halves in the league. They won the second half by a precise three-goal margin on three occasions, thanks to PSG scoring 2+ goals beyond the hour mark alone in every October-held L1 match. Both home league games of October saw the Parisians score exactly two goals beyond the hour mark, and keep a first-half clean sheet. In turn, they have shut out the opposition up to at least HT in 18 of their last 19 L1 home victories, as they have also done in four of their last five L1 home H2Hs vs Rennes.

Rennes Insights.

Rennes, who sit third in the table (W5, D3, L1), won here as recently as May 2018 (2-0) after a goalless first half. Their victory in the last L1 H2H also came after a level HT score, though four (HT: W3, L1) of their five L1 wins this term have produced a HT scoreline separating the teams by a single goal. Spanning back to the close of 2019/20, Rennes are unbeaten in five L1 away games (W3, D2), and those hoping for a draw should note that each half across the draws was specifically won/lost 1-0. One of those draws also brought their win/draw rate as L1 away outsiders since the start of 2019/20 up to 50% (W2, D2, L4).
