They may not face a constant threat from opponents, but when it is asked of him, the Brazilian steps up and plays a captain’s role. "There's a tough match waiting for us in Rennes, " the Brazil international told the club's official website. He continued:I think that if we want to have a good match in Madrid, we'll need have a good match on Friday too.
PSG v RennesLineupBuilder. comPSG (4-3-3): Kevin Trapp; Gregory Van der Wiel, Serge Aurier, Thiago Silva, Layvin Kurzawa; Benjamin Stambouli, Blaise Matuidi, Marco Verratti; Angel Di Maria, Lucas, Zlatan Ibrahimovic. Player to WatchChristophe Ena/Associated PressSo much is made of PSG’s attacking talent, but at the back, the form of Thiago Silva has been excellent this season.
It's a kind of preparation. If we play well in Rennes, I'm sure that we'll have an incredible match on Tuesday. We'll do our best to come back to Paris with three points. We're going there looking to play our own game. Rennes play a very fluid attacking style. Even Sio, the recognised centre-forward, drifts and plays out in the channels. Silva will have to be vigilant to track the movement of the forward line. Key BattlePASCAL POCHARD-CASABIANCA/Getty ImagesRennes' strongest area this season has been the centre of midfield. No one expected much of Yacouba Sylla after his move from a failed spell at Aston Villa, but the former Clermont man has done an excellent job so far in Ligue 1. Beside him is the vital experience of Gelson Fernandes.
Blanc has a decision to make. Benjamin Stambouli can play at centre-back, as can Thiago Motta. PSG could also play Serge Aurier there with Gregory van der Wiel coming in at right-back. Predicted FormationsRennes v PSGLineupBuilder. comRennes (4-2-3-1): Abdoulaye Diallo; Romain Danze, Pedro Mendes, Fallou Diagne, Ludovic Baal; Yacouba Sylla, Gelson Fernandes; Juan Quintero, Abdoulaye Doucoure, Kamil Grosicki; Giovanni Sio.
Next up is Stade Rennais at Roazhon Park. It won’t be easy, but the Breton side will need to be at their best to provide anything close to a contest. Philippe Montanier’s team enter off the back of a 1-0 win over Bastia in the Coupe de la Ligue but are without a league victory since the middle of September. They have only lost once in that run—five games ending 1-1. PSG have won two of the last three meetings in Brittany and will be very confident of extending their good form with three points, building confidence ahead of Tuesday's Champions League tie against Real Madrid. Only two teams have taken league points off the Parisians this season.

Rennes vs. PSG: Team News, Predicted Lineups, Live Stream, TV InfoJean Catuffe/Getty ImagesAfter Paris Saint-Germain’s 4-1 win over Saint-Etienne on Sunday, it feels like there is no one in Ligue 1 that can challenge the champions this season. It's that realisation in itself that will provide a test for Laurent Blanc’s side as they travel to Brittany on Friday.
He is someone with the potential to be a threat. Montanier needs to find a way to get the best out of the young Colombian. Giovanni Sio missed the Bastia cup match through suspension, but will be allowed to make his return against PSG, giving Montanier the option of playing a true centre-forward upfront. During Thursday's pregame press conference, Blanc confirmed David Luiz will to miss the game because of his knee injury, and he also revealed that Javier Pastore is out with conjunctivitis, relayed by Canal Supporters. Edinson Cavani will be rested for Friday's game, and Marquinhos is out with a thigh injury, via PSG's official website, leaving Thiago Silva as the only fit centre-back in the squad.

As Montanier tried to find a solution to the drop in form, he moved back to a back four against Lorient. His 3-4-3 had worked in an attacking sense, but the defence looked exposed, especially with former PSG defender and veteran Sylvain Armand a little off the pace. Juan Quintero made his first league start last time out.
