PSG Struggles to Find Form Ahead of Clash with Rennes

In a challenging period for Paris Saint-Germain (PSG), the team faces mounting pressure after a series of unsatisfactory performances in the French Ligue 1. The club, managed by Luis Enrique, has struggled notably against Stade de Reims, whom they have now drawn against in four of their last five encounters. This recurring difficulty was highlighted in their latest match, which left PSG looking ineffective for extensive periods.

The absence of a traditional No.9 in the squad has raised questions regarding PSG’s summer recruitment strategy. The situation is further complicated by the injury to Gonçalo Ramos, sustained at the beginning of the season, which has left the team’s attacking options significantly weakened. Marco Asensio‘s potential absence in the upcoming match against Rennes may offer Randal Kolo Muani a critical opportunity to prove his worth. Although Kolo Muani has shown promise at the international level, his performances for PSG have yet to replicate that success.

Meanwhile, PSG’s encounter with Rennes poses additional challenges. Randal Kolo Muani is expected to step up, especially given the fluctuating performances of Bradley Barcola and Ousmane Dembélé, whose finishing has been inconsistent. PSG’s need for a breakthrough is mirrored in Rennes’ own struggles, as they too grapple with persistent issues from the previous season. Despite showing promise with a dominant victory over Olympique Lyonnais at the start of the season, Rennes faltered against Lens, exposing a vulnerability within Julien Stéphan‘s squad.

As PSG prepares to face Rennes, there is an air of uncertainty. Both teams are eager to exploit their opponent’s current weaknesses. With PSG not performing at their typical high standard and Rennes seeking to capitalize on this rare opportunity, the upcoming match promises to be a pivotal moment for both sides.
