PSG wants to secure the league title
The French football season faces its final stretch and on Sunday March 19 will have a meeting that will be transcendental.
The Parisians will be local against Rennes in the middle of a match that can define the championship, practically.
It is that a new victory for Paris Saint Germain would mean taking a new step towards the objective that this team has, and it would also be saving a season where the performance and results were below what the sports forecasts and the general public expected.
This match, which could be decisive, will have all eyes on whether Galtier's team can finally secure the title with several days to go.
This is how Paris Saint Germain arrives
The Parc des Princes complex is already a global issue. Everyone talks about a resounding failure in the French Cup and also in the UEFA Champions League, of course, since that was the main objective of the club.
In the forecasts of the French League it can even be seen as an obvious question that they are the candidates for the title, and it is something that the Parisians will surely achieve again.
The truth is that if they manage to lift the trophy it will be seen as something inconsequential because their sights were set elsewhere. And if they don't, it would be practically a football scandal.
Therefore, PSG is forced to win and keep the championship to close the season in the best possible way.
This is how Rennes arrives
This team was not one of the favorites to win the title according to the forecasts of the French League , but it was to fight in the top positions in search of qualifying for European competitions.
At the moment they are achieving that goal and things are going well, but of course, now they will have to face the most powerful team in the competition.
The plan to add at least one point is prepared, and if the footballers manage to meet that objective, they will be able to be satisfied.
In this way, they will take an important step towards the desire to even be in the next UEFA Champions League. Therefore, they know that they are facing a transcendental encounter.
Background between both
These teams have a brief history with each other, with only 20 matches for which there are records.
PSG leads the history convincingly with a total of 12 victories out of 6 for Stade Rennes. In addition, only 2 draws are known, this being the result that occurred the fewest times.
With these previous numbers, sports forecasts are in favor of a possible triumph for PSG, but these statistics are set aside once the ball starts rolling because in this sport anything can happen.
The magnifying glass on...
Lionel Messi, the Argentine who is the best player in the world today and probably in history.
PSG's '30' has been decisive in several games, with goals and assists, and shows why he is considered number 1.
The truth is that, after a new elimination, the criticism also fell on him. Therefore, all eyes will rest on him to see if he can reverse this situation that not only Messi himself has to go through, but the entire Paris Saint Germain squad. And if he manages to do his thing, he will be a decisive piece, once again, within the scheme of his team
The magnifying glass on...
The renowned goalkeeper Steve Mandanda, who at 37 is still in force and is one of the figures of Rennes.
The native of the Democratic Republic of the Congo, but who has defended the shirt of the French National Team, is the reference that this team has.
After his steps through Le Havre, Olympique de Marseille and Crystal Palace, in 2022 he landed in this team and since then he has earned his place with good performances and showing everything he can contribute to the squad.
The fans adore him and he, with his good performances, repays them for the love they show him. And if you have an influential performance, they will surely chant your name.
Sports bets
The people who usually play their chips, and also the fans of these teams, already analyze the sports bets that they will be able to place.
The present of both teams makes sports betting platforms position PSG as a favorite and that is why their victory is listed at 1.55. The tie rises to 4.85, but what is surprising is that an eventual victory for Rennes rises to 6.65 and is the best option for those who are dedicated to this type of activity.
To all this we must add the possibility of choosing the result with which the first half will end, the exact score at the end of the game, which team will score first and other issues that will allow one to choose different plays that give good returns in case of hit.
That is why those who usually play their chips on these occasions will have a difficult task because what one can analyze in the previous one will be of little use once the ball starts rolling.
