Prediction: 2-1
Rennes
PSG will be looking to build on a 2-1 win over Brest when they take on Rennes in the Ligue 1 round 28. Les Parisiens are eyeing their fifth consecutive league win, and they are likely to stick to their attacking style of play. A man to watch in the home team will be Kylian Mbappe, who sealed the victory at the weekend, while Neymar is out for the rest of the season. All Achraf Hakimi, Nordi Mukiele, Marquinhos, and Presnel Kimpembe are out of contention through injuries.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, and seeing that they will go for a win as well, we are tempted to put our money on over 2.5 goals. Defender Warmed Omari is back from suspension, while all Jeremy Doku, Lorenz Assignon, and Xeka remain in the recovery room. Desire Doue misses out through illness.
Highlighted Player (Lionel Messi):
Lionel Messi is regarded as one of the best players in the history of football. He was born on 24 June, 1987 in Rosario and he began his football career at Newell’s Old Boys. At age 10 he was diagnosed with a growth hormone deficiency, but having realized his potential at a young age, Barcelona decided to pay for his treatment.
Messi joined Barca in 2001 and he has been playing for the Camp Nou outfit ever since. The Argentine magician has won eight La Liga trophies with Barca and he helped the Catalan giants lift no less than four Champions League titles (2005/2006, 2008/2009, 2010/2011, 2014/2015).
In the 2011/2012 La Liga campaign Messi scored 50 goals for Barca, while netting 14 goals in the 2011/2012 Champions League campaign. The five-time Golden Ball award winner has established himself as Barcelona’s all-time top scorer, but he has yet to win a trophy with Argentina national team at major tournaments. Leo Messi, though, has won Olympic Gold Medal (2008) and FIFA World Youth Championship (2005), with la Albiceleste.
Highlighted Team (Rennes):
Stade Rennais Football Club or simply Rennes is a French football club which was founded on March 10, 1901.
