Sochaux vs Rennes Prediction: Betting on the guests

Prediction for the Coupe de France match which will take place on February 6. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Sochaux is a club from the third league of France. Last season, they played in Ligue 2, but they were sent to the third league due to financial difficulties. The team looks good and occupies fourth place in the standings with 29 points after 18 rounds. In the French Cup, Sochaux has already passed four opponents. In the previous stages, it was clubs from Ligue 1. First, they beat Lorient 2:1, then even Reims in a penalty shootout (2:2, 5:4 penalties).

Rennes is having a good season. The team fights on three fronts simultaneously so they maximize their resources. So far, things are not going well, except in Ligue 1, where the Red-Blacks are only ninth in the table. But in the Europa League, they took second place in the group and are now waiting for the playoffs; as well, in the last stage of the French Cup, they beat a tough Marseille. Rennes managed to outplay the opponent only in a penalty shootout (1:1, 9:8 penalties).

Analysts of bookmaker companies, for a reason, consider Rennes to be the favorite of the upcoming match. Sensations happen in the French Cup, but we think this is not the case. After all, the Red-Blacks are a head above the club from the third league. Moreover, they are in excellent condition - six victories speak for themselves. And the guests also have an important attitude to the cup. We believe that modest Sochaux will not be able to create a sensation - they will fight but will concede more. Let's take Rennes' goals.
