PSG vs Rennes Prediction & Betting Tips (3 April)

At the start of April, PSG is still playing on all fronts. The Ile-de-France club already has a strong card to play in this Coupe de France where it hopes to be crowned for the first time in 3 years. For this, Luis Enrique's men have already quite easily dismissed Revel 0-9, Orléans 1-3, Brest 3-1 and Nice 3-1 to reach this last square. At the same time, the French Champions are very well on their way to retaining their title since they still have a large lead at the top of Ligue 1 before the Classic against OM on Sunday. Before the break, they were largely able to overcome Montpellier 2-6. Finally, the Parisians are preparing their Champions League quarter-final scheduled for next week against FC Barcelona.

In the previous round, they already dismissed a Spanish team, Real Sociedad, by winning the first leg 2-1 and the return 0-2. For its part, Stade Rennais is a team used to performing in the Cup and her last title dates back to 2019 when she beat PSG in the final. This year, the Bretons were able to defeat Guingamp 0-2, Marseille 2-2, TAB, Sochaux 1-6 and Puy 1-3 to reach these semi-finals where they can clearly have ambitions. Because in the championship, the Rouge et Noir have looked very good since the start of 2024 after having experienced a complicated first part of the season. Winners of Marseille 2-0 before the international break, the Rennais will travel to Strasbourg next weekend to try to get closer to the top 6.

PSG is still facing some absences. Indeed, the long-term injured goalkeeper Rico and the defenders Skriniar and Kimpembe are still missing. To this we add that the young winger Barcola returned injured from his call-up with the French Espoirs team and he should also withdraw. Spanish attacking midfielder Asensio is uncertain. Up front, Kylian Mbappé remains by far the top Parisian scorer this season with 38 goals scored in all competitions including 7 in the Coupe de France alone. The attackers Kolo-Muani and Gonçalo Ramos as well as the midfielder Vitinha have each scored 6 goals this season in Ligue 1. Injured since January, the Swiss midfielder Rieder and The excellent starting midfielder Le Fée could have returned to the field last weekend in Strasbourg.

If this were not the case, they could instead join the group this week. On the other hand, the young Nagida will not play again this year while the Belgian defender Theate will be present. This should also be the case for striker Blas and left side Truffert who will return after being suspended last week. Julien Stéphan should be able to field the excellent Bourigeaud (7 goals, 2 assists) and striker Martin Terrier (6 goals in 2024). Center forward Kalimuendo (6 goals), and Algerian Gouiri (5 goals) are also operational.
