Thanks to the bad games after the World Cup, Rennes dropped the third position in the table and are currently in the 4th place with only two points more than Lorient, which is the first team below the place that guarantees participation in Europe next season. Last season, Rennes played very beautiful and attractive football and they attracted many neutral football fans with this style of play. But lately, certain flaws in this team's game have become more and more evident. In three league games after the break, they have only one victory, against Nice, but even that came with a lot of problems in the last minutes of the match. In the last round, they experienced a somewhat unexpected defeat against Clermont and ended that match with two players less due to red cards. This information is one of the key factors that can be decisive for today's game. Rennes is already weakened by the absence of Xeka, Santamaria and most recently Terrier, who is their team's best scorer and will not be available to the team until the end of the season due to a serious injury he suffered in the match against Nice. All three are very important players for Rennes, and the red cards were given to two really important players from the first team. The absence of the standard defender Omari and the team's best assistant, Bourigeaud, will be a huge blow for the team. With too many absentees, it is really hard to expect that Rennes can resist PSG, which has a much larger squad, barely suffering from the absences of Verratti, Kimpembe, Mendes and Sanches.

As in most cases in the domestic championship, PSG is a huge favorite in this match as well. After losing on the first day of the new year against Lens, they recorded two victories in the next two games. Although at first glance the PSG team seems as if they can score as many goals as they want in each match, in the domestic league it seems as if they play just as much as is enough for them to win 3 points. In this match, PSG will be stronger for two very important players because Mbappe and Hakimi are returning to the team. The guests will definitely have more motivation in this match, because they have not won in the last three league games at this stadium, and with Rennes weakened like this, today's match seems like an ideal opportunity to end that bad series. After a well-deserved rest and winning the World Cup, Messi returned to the team as well and this match will be the first since mid-November in which he will play together with Neymar and Mbappe. Despite various stories about the disagreement of the three biggest stars of this team, it is not noticed on the field. On the contrary, when this trio is on the field, almost all of the goals scored by PSG in those games are the result of some of their actions and mutual assists. PSG has a very good defense and has not conceded a goal in 10 out of 18 matches so far, and without Terrier and Bourigeaud, Rennes proved to be in great difficulty in the attacking sector at Clermont.

由于世界杯后的糟糕比赛，雷恩在积分榜上的排名下降到第三，目前仅比洛里昂多2分，这是第一支低于保证下赛季参加欧洲比赛的球队。上个赛季，雷恩踢出了非常漂亮和吸引人的足球，他们用这种风格吸引了许多中立的球迷。但最近，这支球队比赛中的某些缺陷变得越来越明显。在中场休息后的三场联赛中，他们只取得了一场胜利，那就是对阵尼斯，但即便如此，在比赛的最后几分钟也出现了很多问题。在上一轮比赛中，他们在对阵克莱蒙特的比赛中意外失利，由于红牌，他们少了两名球员。这些信息是决定今天比赛的关键因素之一。雷恩已经因为西卡、圣玛利亚和最近的特里尔的缺席而变得虚弱，特里尔是球队最好的射手，由于在与尼斯的比赛中严重受伤，他将在赛季结束前无法参加球队的比赛。这三个人都是雷恩非常重要的球员，红牌给了两名来自一线队的非常重要的球员。标准后卫奥马里和球队最好的助手布里格奥德的缺阵对球队来说将是一个巨大的打击。由于有太多的缺阵球员，我们很难指望雷恩能够抵挡住阵容庞大得多的巴黎圣日耳曼，他们几乎没有受到维拉蒂、金彭贝、门德斯和桑切斯缺阵的影响。

和大多数国内联赛一样，PSG在这场比赛中也是大热门。在新年第一天输给朗斯之后，他们在接下来的两场比赛中取得了两场胜利。虽然乍一看，巴黎圣日耳曼队似乎可以在每场比赛中取得随心所欲的进球，但在国内联赛中，他们的比赛似乎足以让他们赢得3分。在这场比赛中，由于姆巴佩和哈基米将回归球队，巴黎圣日耳曼将拥有两名非常重要的球员。客人们在这场比赛中肯定会有更大的动力，因为他们在这个球场的最近三场联赛都没有赢过，雷恩如此虚弱，今天的比赛似乎是一个结束糟糕系列赛的理想机会。在得到应得的休息并赢得世界杯冠军后，梅西也回到了球队，这场比赛将是自11月中旬以来他第一次与内马尔和姆巴佩一起比赛。尽管关于这支球队三位巨星之间的分歧有各种各样的故事，但在球场上并没有引起注意。相反，当这三人在场上时，巴黎圣日耳曼在这些比赛中几乎所有的进球都是他们的一些动作和相互助攻的结果。巴黎圣日耳曼的防守非常好，到目前为止，18场比赛中有10场没有丢球，没有特里尔和布里戈德，雷恩在克莱蒙特的进攻区表现得非常困难。
