Market: Goal to be scored in both halves

Odds: 4/7 @ Pribet

Seeking an immediate Ligue 1 response this weekend, Rennes will welcome Paris FC to Roazhon Park on Sunday night.

Starting with the hosts, while Rennes might have been last seen falling to an action-packed 4-2 loss at the hands of Lyon, Franck Haise’s side should still find the mood in their camp at a continued high. Opening Sunday’s penultimate Ligue 1 showdown sat within touching distance of skyrocketing into the Champions League spots, the Brittany-based outfit have certainly cemented their spot as one of France’s ultimate surprise packages this season. Signing off April with a 2-1 victory at home against Nantes, Les Rennais have won each of their other four top-flight showdowns and they have rightfully received plenty of plaudits from from across the continent. Sat firmly in the driving seat to book some kind of European adventure for next year, Rennes have also lost just a pair of their last 11 Ligue 1 appearances – a run that stems back to the end of January. Marking their return from March’s international break with a frantic 4-3 victory against Brest, Sunday’s hosts will be searching for an immediate response here.

As for the visitors, while Paris FC might have only made their Ligue 1 debut this season, the Parisians have their sights firmly set on booking an iconic top-half finish over the next week. Last seen making an immediate return to winning ways thanks to a dominant display as they stormed their way to a thumping 4-0 win at home against Brest, Antoine Kombouare’s side have won three of their previous four top-flight appearances and they will travel to Brittany this weekend more than capable of asking some serious questions. With their stellar purple patch underlined by a remarkable 4-1 romp against French giants Monaco on April 10th, Sunday’s guests have also impressed with their free-scoring performances in the final third. In fact, heading into March’s international break with a rollercoaster 3-2 victory against Le Havre, Paris FC have notched 11 goals in their last four Ligue 1 showdowns. Likewise, the Parisians have suffered just a sole defeat from their previous 10 straight outings – a run that stems all he way back to a 5-0 drumming against Lens on February 14th.
