Does Rachel's wrestling with Leah have any bearing on Jacob's wrestling with God?

Genesis 30:8
Then Rachel said, “With mighty wrestlings I have wrestled with my sister and have prevailed.” So she called his name Naphtali.

Genesis 32:28
The man said, "From now on, your name will no longer be Jacob. You will be called Israel, because you have wrestled with God and with men, and you have won."

Is there any parallel significance between these two wrestling incidents?
