ASM Belfort vs Rennes Prediction & Betting tips
The first quarter final of the Coupe de France goes surprisingly between fourth-division team ASM Belfort and Stade Rennais, the number three in the Ligue 1. Does ASM Belfort also stunt in the quarter-finals?
ASM Belfort:
In the sixteenth finals of the Coupe de France, ASM Belfort already managed to stunt with a 3-1 win over second-class AS Nancy, but the biggest stunt of the fourth division in the cup tournament was yet to come. In the eighth finals, the four-division team Montpellier managed to keep 0-0 in both the regular playing time and the extension, after which ASM Belfort won the penalty shootout series. Since then, however, Maurice Goldmann’s team has made little impression, as the last two games in the Championnat National 2 were both lost.
Stade Rennais:
Stade Rennais has a busy program at the moment and that seems to be taking its toll. At the end of January, Angers won in the eighth finals of the Coupe de France only after an extension, after which a few days later in the competition, Nantes won in the injury time. Last week, however, the team of Julien Stéphan suffered two loss of points: first, a visit to Lille, the number four in the Ligue 1, was lost 1-0 due to an early goal and last weekend Les Rouges et Noirs did not advance in their own home then a 0-0 draw against PhD student Stade Brestois.
At the end of January, scoring did not seem to be the biggest problem for the Stéphan team with eight hits in more than two hundred minutes, but in the meantime his team was unable to score two games in a row. Both against Lille and Stade Brestois, les Rouges et Noirs came up with the necessary chances, but it was mainly due to sloppiness that they did not score. The lack of the injured Brazilian Raphinha, who was injured against Lille after more than half an hour, will also play a role, because his replacement Romain del Castillo simply has a lot less scoring ability.
