In an attempt to recover from a sluggish start to their Ligue 1 campaign and a loss in the midweek Champions League fixture, Paris Saint-Germain is scheduled to journey to face Rennes in the eighth round of league matches on Sunday.

Currently, Les Parisiens occupy the fifth spot in the Ligue 1 standings, having collected 12 points in their first seven games. Meanwhile, their opponents sit just one point and one position behind them after securing a home victory last weekend.

Heading into the weekend, Rennes aims to maintain one of the last two undefeated records in Ligue 1, despite having only gathered 11 points from their seven league encounters. They've managed two wins and five draws in those matches.

Seeking to build upon their fourth-place finish from the previous season, Bruno Genesio's team began the season impressively with a 5-1 victory over Metz. However, they subsequently settled for five consecutive draws in domestic competitions. Initially, they shared points with Lens, Le Havre, and Brest before the international break at the start of the previous month.

Paris Saint-Germain set out for another dominant season in France's top division this season after winning Ligue 1 for the fifth time in the previous six seasons and having Luis Enrique take over as manager over the summer. However, they have had an unusually slow start thus far.

The capital team has just three victories in that time, two of which came against Lens and Lyon in quick succession before the international break in September, giving them eight points from four games, although they have only played seven games.

Achraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappe scored goals as the Parisians defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in their Champions League opener before Hakimi scored once more along with a goal from Randal Kolo Muani, a goal from Goncalo Ramos, and a brace from Ramos in a 4-0 thrashing. Les Parisiens returned to action at home against Nice in the middle of last month, but they were unable to make it three wins in a row

Upon their return to the field, Les Rouge et Noirs faced Lille and, after falling behind 2-0, managed to secure a draw with a 2-2 score, thanks to Ibrahim Salah's equalizer in the 89th minute. Following that, they won their Europa League group-stage opener against Maccabi Haifa and played to a goalless draw against Montpellier in the next league match.

Their second win of the season in the French top flight came in their seventh attempt last weekend when they defeated Nantes 3-1 on their home ground, courtesy of goals from Benjamin Bourigeaud, Desire Doue, and Arnaud Kalimuendo. In their most recent outing, they traveled to Spain to face Villarreal in a challenging Europa League match, but came away empty-handed as Alexander Sorloth's first-half goal proved to be the decisive factor.

Now, shifting their focus back to Ligue 1, Rennes will aim to maintain their unbeaten streak of eight matches this weekend and secure a third victory, although it promises to be a particularly tough challenge against the defending champions.

Achraf Hakimi and Kylian Mbappe scored goals as the Parisians defeated Borussia Dortmund 2-0 in their Champions League opener before Hakimi scored once more along with a goal from Randal Kolo Muani, a goal from Goncalo Ramos, and a brace from Ramos in a 4-0 thrashing. Les Parisiens returned to action at home against Nice in the middle of last month, but they were unable to make it three wins in a row.

Bruno Genesio should return to the same Rennes starting XI from their 3-1 victory over Nantes last week after making several substitutions for the Europa League match with Villarreal, though Desire Doue and Arnaud Kalimuendo both have claims to start after scoring off the bench in that victory.

After scoring his second Ligue 1 goal of the season last time out, Kalimuendo will try to lead the line in their normal 4-2-3-1 formation. Ludovic Blas, Fabian Rieder, and Amine Gouiri should all hold their spots in a supporting trio behind the lone frontman.

Warmed Omari and Arthur Theate will continue to work together in the heart of a defensive four, while the seasoned Nemanja Matic may once more play alongside Benjamin Bourigeaud at the base of the midfield.

In addition to the absence of Lee Kang-In for international service and the anticipated continued absence of Nuno Mendes, Presnel Kimpembe, and Marco Asensio due to injuries, Paris Saint-Germain will have a number of selection issues on Sunday.

Enrique is likely to start Les Parisiens in a 3-4-3 formation this weekend after experimenting with several different formations recently. Kylian Mbappe, who has already scored seven goals in six Ligue 1 games this season, will undoubtedly play a key role in attack, and Ousmane Dembele should keep his spot on the right wing, leaving one spot open for Randal Kolo Muani and Goncalo Ramos to compete for.

In the absence of Kimpembe, Lucas Hernandez, Marquinhos, and Milan Skriniar will probably line up in a back three, though Nordi Mukiele and Danilo Pereira will also be vying for a starting spot at the back. Manuel Ugarte should start in the midfield alongside either Vitinha or Fabian Ruiz.

In an effort to build on their recent performance and secure a winning streak that would see them regain their top position in the league, Enrique's team faced Clermont Foot last weekend but could only manage a disappointing draw, ending in a goalless match. Their most recent encounter was against Newcastle United in England on Wednesday, resulting in a 4-1 defeat. Lucas Hernandez's goal in the 56th minute provided little consolation as Miguel Almiron, Dan Burn, Sean Longstaff, and Fabian Schar all scored for the hosts.

Now, after suffering a heavy defeat and experiencing a lackluster start in Ligue 1, Paris Saint-Germain is determined to recover and get back to winning ways in their upcoming away match. They have their sights set on catching up to the league leaders, Monaco and Brest, both of whom are just two points ahead after seven matches.

Stade Rennais, which is under the ownership of the Pinot family, experienced some significant departures during the summer transfer window. Players like Lovro Majer, who joined Wolfsburg, and Jeremy Doku, who moved to Manchester City, left the team. Despite these losses, the club continued to make substantial investments in their squad, particularly after securing a place in European competition last season. Fans and observers have high expectations for them to build upon their previous top-five finish.

Heading into this match, the home team is coming off a 1-0 defeat against Villarreal at El Madrigal in the UEFA Europa League group stage earlier in the week. Rennes currently finds themselves outside of the top five in the league standings, reflecting a somewhat frustrating start to the season. They have managed to secure two victories but have also drawn five of their first seven matches.
