The 22nd day of Ligue 1 opens on Friday, February 13, with a fascinating challenge at Roazhon Park: Rennes hosts Paris Saint-Germain at 7 p.m. in a match that promises spectacle.

The Breton club arrives at the appointment at a particularly delicate moment. After Beye’s dismissal, it will be the coach of the reserve team, Sébastien Tambouret, who will lead the team on an interim basis. A temporary solution while waiting for the arrival of Franck Haise, called to raise the European ambitions of Rennes. Currently sixth in the standings, Rennes is coming off three consecutive defeats in Ligue 1, with nine goals conceded: 0-2 against Lorient, 0-4 against Monaco and 1-3 against Lens. Numbers that tell of a fragile defensive phase and a group that needs to regain confidence and compactness. In front of their own public, however, the Bretons will try to react and surprise the leader.

The Paris Saint-Germain comes to Brittany with morale sky high after a resounding 5-0 thrashing of the Olympique Marseille in the last round. The lineup led by Luis Enrique commands the standings with a two-point lead over Lens and has not lost in Rennes in the league since January 15, 2023. For the Parisians, it will also be an important test ahead of their next European engagement: in fact, this away match represents the last game before the first leg of the playoffs against Monaco scheduled for Wednesday. All the more reason to seek continuity and consolidate the lead.

The likely lineups

Rennes (3-5-2): Silistrie; Rouault, Brassier, Seidu; Tamari, Camara, Rongier, Szymanski, Nordin; Embolo, Lepaul. All. Tambouret.
