Stade Rennes vs Paris Saint-Germain Preview

Rennes host PSG in the French Cup semifinal first leg with hopes of getting a good advantage ahead of the return leg in Paris.

Rennes come into this match with some inconsistencies in their form.

They have 3 wins and 3 losses from their last 6 games and managed to net just 9 goals in that run, averaging 1.5 goals per game.

They also engaged in high scoring games as 5 of those 6 matches ended in over 2.5 goals being scored and both teams scored in 4 of those 6 games making this one also looking like it could be a high scoring encounter.

PSG will be happy to know that Rennes have kept only 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games as they look to retain the French Cup they won last season.

The Parisians bounced back from a 2-1 loss to Lyon by winning their last league match and they now turn their attention to the French Cup.

PSG have scored 20 goals in their last 6 games and kept 4 clean sheets in those matches.

They also won five of those matches, scoring an average of 3.33 goals in each of those matches.

Rennes must bring a lead with them to Paris as winning at Parc des Princes may be too big of a feat.
