PSG vs Rennes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain 3-1 Rennes
PSG are showing no signs of faltering domestically as they tumble towards the Ligue 1 title, and we are expecting Les Parisiens to advance into the final of Coupe de France on Wednesday. Rennes are the side hoping to topple the competition favourites, but we cannot envisage anything other than a success for Enrique's team in the French capital.
