ASM Belfortaine vs Rennes
ASM Belfort managed to make a surprise in the Coupe de France competition by penetrating the semifinal phase. However, they will face a tough test against Rennes in this round. Ligue 1 deputy division is scheduled to be received at Auguste Bonal.
The host’s moral condition is worsening following successive defeats to Haguenau (1-0) and Sedan (0-2). These two streaks also kicked them to 9th place in League 2 National League Group A in the 18th week. Luckily, the visitors also experienced a similar problem after falling from Lille (1-0), then held to a draw by Brest (0-0). As a result, the top 3 positions occupied were threatened by a coup d’état underneath by a single point difference.
Therefore, Rennes was asked to be vigilant, especially if ASM Belfort had also passed Nancy’s obstacles (3-1), as a Ligue 2 representative, in the last 32 round, then defeated the Ligue 1 representative, Montpellier (0-0), in the round next on penalties. Meanwhile, Rennes must pass exams from Amiens (0-0), Marseille Consolat (0-2), and Angers (4-5) to get to this phase.
However, all that struggle will be wasted if they lose the match tomorrow, although this will be the first appearance at Auguste Bonal. As a representative of the highest caste of the French league, there is a prestige that must be maintained by M’Baye Niang et al.
Our Prediction: 2
Odds: 1.30
