Owner of one of the most expensive cast of world football, PSG makes its debut in the French Cup on Sunday, January 7, which even has the participation of amateur teams. From 18h (Brasília time) will face Rennes. The game is part of the schedule of the third phase of the 2017/2018 season of the competition. It will be held at the Stade de la Route de Lorient in Rennes.
The recent performance of Rennes

Rennes welcomed the stoppage of the French Championship for the celebrations of Christmas and New Year, as it faced a phase of fall. In the last three departures of Ligue 1 only added a point of the nine disputed. In this way, it fell to the eighth position in the standings. He has 25 points (seven wins, four draws and eight losses).
The chances of getting something better than a position in the first half of the table are remote. Olympique Marseille, which closes the European tournament qualifying zone in the fourth position, has 13 points higher. Although there are 19 rounds to be played, the possibility of Rennes getting a reaction of this size is negligible.
However, as their situation in the fight against relegation is relatively comfortable, the team can concentrate its efforts on the cup contests. In the League Cup of France achieved an expressive result. Eliminated Olympique Marseille. After a 2-2 draw in regular time, he got the better of the penalty shootout.
To try an even bigger feat in the French Cup, coach Sabri Lamouchi has doubts about the use of three players who undergo a process of recovery from bruises. They are defender Namakoro Diallo (with no French season), midfielder Sanjin Prcic (four games without a goal) and striker Ismaila Sarr (seven matches, one goal).

The current form of PSG

For Paris Saint-Germain, the conquest of the French Cup would serve to put another trophy of little meaning in his gallery. The club’s main goal is to reach the Champions League title in Europe.
The athletes of the Parisian club millionaire, however, have to deal with the pressure placed under their shoulders imposing as an almost mandatory goal the guarantee of the triple crown local. The chance of failure in competitions of running points such as the French Championship is minimal. With 50 points (16 wins, two draws and a loss), the team is leading the tournament with nine points ahead of Monaco, placed second.
Thus, the danger of a zebra is reserved only for the contests of hearts. In the League Cup of France, the PSG continues without giving much ball to his opponents. He reached the quarterfinals and will have Amiens as the rival in the fight for a place in the semifinals.
In the French Cup, it has the advantage of having had two weeks for the physical recovery of its players after fulfilling an intense calendar in the first half of the season. His most recent game was on December 20th. At home, he scored 3-1 in Caen.
The period served to empty the medical department. Only midfielder Adrien Rabiot (17 matches in the French Championship 2017/2018, one goal) is still in injury treatment. But he was not officially vetoed for Sunday’s match.

History of the bouts between Rennes and PSG
PSG won the last seven games in which Rennes had to lead. The most recent in the first round of the 2017/2018 edition of Ligue 1. At the rival’s home, he thrashed 4-1. The Rennes goal was the first goal the team managed to score in Paris after going scoreless in the previous six games.

Paris Saint-Germain allowed himself two trips in December. He was beaten by Strasbourg, away from home, by 2 to 1, in Ligue 1 and then took Bayern 3-1 to the Champions League. However, with the team rested and able to count on its main players, it is difficult to imagine that a surprise can happen in the premiere of the French Cup.
Thus, the Parisian team, which has a price of 1.17 in Rivalo, is the best option for guess. Rennes’s success pays 12.00 for 1 and tie yields 7.00.
