Monaco vs Rennes Prediction & Betting tips
AS Monaco and Stade Rennais did not have easy in their 1 / 32th-finals of the Coupe de France last weekend, but managed to qualify for the 1 / 16th-finals. Both teams therefore won their first game of 2019 and will want to give that success on Wednesday evening to reach the semi-finals of the Coupe de la Ligue.
AS Monaco:
The Monegasken were able to qualify for the 1 / 16th finals of the Coupe de France on Sunday evening at Canet Roussillon. A goal by Moussa Sylla in the second minute turned out to be the only goal of the match that was especially noticeable due to the dullness. A red card for Canet Roussillon within twenty minutes took all the tension out of the game, so the team of Thierry Henry did not have to bother with the first win of 2019. The victory on the fifth division was only the fourth victory in fifteen games of AS Monaco under Thierry Henry which in 2019 will have to make a big effort to stay in Ligue 1.
In addition to the victory in the South of France, there was more good news for the Monegasks as Rony Lopes made for the first time since September. The Portuguese attacker was injured in an international match against Croatia at the beginning of September, and therefore only four league games were in action for the Monegasken this season. With fifteen goals in 38 games, the Portuguese last season had a large share in the second place of his team and he is a scourge for almost every defense.
Stade Rennais:
Where AS Monaco hardly had to make an effort in the Coupe de France, Stade Rennais can not be said. Within forty minutes Julien Stéphan’s team was trailing 2-0 against Stade Brestois, the number two of the Ligue 2, but within ten minutes the team, who is still undefeated under Stéphan, managed to draw the score again. In the regular playing time and extension no goals were scored after that, after which penalties had to make the decision. After three penalties for both teams, the 3-1 score was advantageous for Stade Brestois, but Les Rouges et Noires took the longest with 5-4.
Stéphan, despite the difficult victory, was very pleased with the character of his team: “This was a spectacular match, and given our game, it was a shame that we needed an extension to decide the game, but I would like the mental strength of my team. team that came back from a 2-0 deficit. ” Also goalkeeper Thomas Koubek, who this season is not always sure of a base, got the compliments of his trainer by keeping his team despite the early arrears in the race and in the penalties range to excel.
