Troyes-Rennes, the probable formations

Rennes will face Troyes in the French Cup with the aim of continuing its run in the tournament after an up-and-down season in Ligue 1. Sampaoli’s team will start favored, but will have to watch out for Troyes, which, although playing in Ligue 2, has shown signs of recovery in recent weeks, with a solid defense and an attack that has started to work. Rennes will take the field with Matusiwa and Truffert in midfield who will manage the game, while in attack Gouiri and Kalimuendo will try to make the difference.

Troyes is having a difficult season in Ligue 2, where it occupies a position at the bottom of the standings, but has found some momentum recently with a string of victories. In the French Cup, however, the team has shown good resilience, managing to overcome several obstacles and coming into this match against Rennes with hopes of pulling off another surprise. Dumont&#39s team will try to defend compactly and take advantage of counterattack opportunities, with players such as M'Changama and Boura ready to make themselves dangerous in attack
