PSG news
PSG drew 1-1 in their last match against Stade de Reims, leaving the Parisians level on points with Marseille and AS Monaco. Currently, the Parisians are struggling with injuries, with Vitinha, Désiré Doué, and Marco Asensio missing from the last training session. These three potential absences add to the long-term injuries of Lucas Hernandez, Presnel Kimpembe, and Gonçalo Ramos.
The last match did not go well with the experiment of using three centre-backs, so Luis Enrique is expected to revert to his usual 4-3-3 formation. Gianluigi Donnarumma will also return after missing a couple of games due to muscle discomfort.
Predicted PSG lineup vs Rennais: Donnarumma; Hakimi, Skriniar, Pacho, Mendes; Lee, Neves, Ruiz; Dembele, Kolo Muani, Barcola.
Stade Rennais news
Rennes come into this match with a respectable start to the season, currently mid-table with seven points from five matches, including two wins and one draw.

They then bounced back with another 3-0 win against Montpellier and a 1-1 draw with Lens, remaining unbeaten at home. However, they are yet to earn a point on the road this season, a situation Julien Stéphan will be keen to change with a positive result on Friday.
