The loss saw them relinquish their top spot, and they are now just a point behind current leaders RC Lens. Under coach Luis Enrique, PSG have been dominant at home. A win is vital to regain momentum and put pressure on their title rivals.

Stade Rennais, meanwhile, arrive in Paris as one of the league’s most in-form teams. They are riding a wave of impressive momentum with four consecutive victories across all competitions.

Sitting fifth in the table, a positive result against the reigning champions would solidify their position in the European places and demonstrate their credentials as a force to be reckoned with this season.
