History remains firmly on their side, however. PSG are chasing a tenth victory in their last 12 opening Ligue 1 matches<\/strong>, having posted nine wins, one draw and one defeat across the previous 11.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The venue change could complicate matters. Rather than playing at the Parc des Princes, PSG must effectively face Rennes on their opponent’s home turf.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rennes finished last season strongly enough to secure European football, providing plenty of optimism ahead of Franck Haise’s first full campaign in charge.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Haise oversaw Rennes’ final 12 league matches last season, with only one Ligue 1 team collecting more points during that period. Rennes have also strengthened their attack with Eliezer Mayenda<\/strong>, partly using funds generated by J\u00e9r\u00e9my Jacquet’s move to Liverpool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The hosts are now targeting a fourth consecutive opening-day Ligue 1 victory<\/strong> and a fourth straight league win at Roazhon Park.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That combination of form and genuine home advantage makes this a considerably tougher assignment for PSG than the fixture designation suggests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rennes have repeatedly proved troublesome for PSG. Their 17 Ligue 1 victories against PSG in the 21st century are more than any other club has managed<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n More importantly, Rennes defeated PSG 3-1 at Roazhon Park last season<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n That record provides a strong warning against assuming PSG’s status as defending champions automatically makes them comfortable favorites.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Several trends point towards a competitive and potentially high-scoring encounter:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These numbers make Both Teams to Score<\/strong> and Rennes\/Draw Double Chance<\/strong> interesting markets to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n New PSG signing Maghnes Akliouche<\/strong> could make an immediate impact. He has already scored three career goals against Rennes, while each of his last 13 Ligue 1 goals has come in a victory.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rennes will look towards Esteban Lepaul<\/strong>, who scored against PSG at Roazhon Park last season on his way to claiming the league’s Golden Boot with 21 goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Both teams will also miss key players. PSG defender Nuno Mendes is suspended<\/strong> following his red card against Lens, while Rennes midfielder Mahdi Camara<\/strong> will also miss the fixture through suspension.<\/p>\n\n\n\n PSG possesses superior individual quality, but this is far from an ideal opening fixture for the champions. They are coming off a disappointing defeat, their squad has experienced substantial summer turnover, and the switch to Roazhon Park removes their expected home advantage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Rennes, meanwhile, finished last season strongly and has an excellent recent record against PSG.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Prediction: Rennes 2-2 PSG<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Best betting angle: Rennes or Draw (Double Chance)<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Alternative picks:<\/strong> Both Teams to Score \u2013 Yes and Over 2.5 Goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Tanzanian football fans looking to follow the new Ligue 1 season can visit Bangbet<\/strong><\/a> to explore available football betting markets, including match winner, double chance, total goals and both teams to score.
