Prediction: 2-1
Rennes
Buoyed by a 2-0 win over Olympique Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain will look to give fans yet another reason to celebrate when they take on Rennes in the Coupe de France semis. Les Parisiens are eager to go all the way in the French Cup, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for Kylian Mbappe and Co. Defender Lucas Beraldo is banned for the semis, while all Barcola, Kimpembe, Kurzawa, and Sergio Rico remain in the recovery room.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, were not at their sharpest in a 2-0 defeat to Strasbourg, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the big-spending capital club this time out. As for the visitors, talented forward Arnaud Kalimuendo is widely expected to return to the starting XI, while midfielder Ludovic Blas is back from the Ligue 1 ban.
