PSG face RB Leipzig in an attempt to take the advantage in the race for 2nd place in Group H on Wednesday evening, on the 3rd day of the Champions League.
For its part, Rennes, in search of its first victory in the competition, moves on the lawn of Chelsea.
LIVE
It is a pivotal match that PSG plays on Wednesday evening, during the third day of the Champions League.
After an inaugural defeat against Manchester United, then a reassuring victory against Basaksehir, Thomas Tuchel's men face the Germans of RB Leipzig, who have the same number of points in this group H. A victory for the Parisians is therefore essential to get closer to the second qualifying place for the round of 16, while the first seems promised in Manchester.
But on the side of the capital club, a real avalanche of injuries has disrupted the preparation of the meeting, and the Parisians will have to do without their trio of stars: Neymar, Icardi, Mbappé.

For its part, Rennes will try to win its first success in the Champions League. But the Bretons will have a lot to do, outside, against the English Chelsea.
Leipzig-PSG: kick off at 9 p.m.
The meeting can also be followed on the antenna of Europe 1 until 11:30 p.m.
Update on the opponent
For its part, RB Leipzig, one of the revelations of the last European campaign, will try to take revenge after its clear defeat in the semi-final against PSG, last August (0-3).
But the Saxony club is not in Olympic form either.
Crushed 5-0 by Manchester last Wednesday, the Germans coached by Julian Nagelsmann also gave up first place in the Bundesliga after a loss on Saturday against Mönchengladbach.
In attack, in particular, the team have not yet qualitatively replaced Timo Werner, the home scorer transferred to Chelsea for 53 million euros.
Update on PSG
While the first qualifying place for the round of 16 seems promised to Manchester United, undefeated after two meetings, PSG must win in Leipzig, where at least take the point of the draw, so as not to be left behind in the race to 2nd place.
Problem, the PSG is not in the most positive of spirals.
If his victory in Istanbul against Basaksehir (2-0), then that in Nantes, calmed a little the doubts born of the initial setback against Manchester, his season is for the moment far from flamboyant, and is accompanied by tensions between Thomas Tuchel and his sports director Leonardo.
Above all, the Parisian club must face a real avalanche of injuries.
Tonight, Marquinhos' teammates will have to do without Bernat, Draxler, Verrati, but especially without his trio of stars in attack, Neymar, Icardi and Mbappé.
Author of 7 goals in the championship, the French world champion feels hamstring discomfort.
#Tuchel: “@KMbappe's injury is very slight but it's in a risk zone, he shouldn't play against Leipzig, it's a shame for us.
We have to find solutions without Kylian.

In their absence, all eyes will be on the experienced Di Maria, flamboyant in the semi-final won this summer against Leipzig, and on the young Kean, who arrived this summer from Everton and double scorer on the lawn of Basaksehir Istanbul.
The competition point
In Group H, Manchester United have six points after two games, and occupy first place, after their victories against PSG and Leipzig.
Behind, the two opponents tonight have the same number of points (3), while the Turks of Basaksehir Istanbul have not yet pocketed a point.
