Saint Etienne vs Rennes Free Betting Tips
What if Saint-Etienne revived thanks to the Coupe de France?
This Thursday in Geoffroy-Guichard, ASSE will host Stade Rennais as part of the CDF semi-finals. Stuck at the gates of relegation with a 16th place and only 2 points ahead of the roadblocker, Nîmes, the Greens have had a relegation course since the start of 2020 and only Toulouse are worse. With 4 points taken since January, ASSE is tough and the mission is simple: save the club. For this, should we ignore this French cup match, 4 days after the defeat in the derby in Lyon (0-2) or on the contrary take the opportunity to offer a final, try to save a season and regain a positive dynamic?
His opponent, Rennes, turns quite well on the contrary and confirms a particularly successful 2018-2019 financial year with a knockout round of the Europa League and a success in CDF precisely. 3rd in Ligue 1 and followed by Lille, 4th, in this race for the podium and in 3rd place, will the SRFC play its chance thoroughly or will it favor the reception of Montpellier this Sunday at 5pm?
Key stats for the match Saint Etienne vs Rennes
Saint-Etienne can offer itself a cup final in the middle of a very disappointing season and thus relaunch the machine: this semi-final is crucial!
Conversely, Rennes is on a very good dynamic and elimination in the cup will not disturb the balance of the team.
The Rennais will receive Montpellier, 6th with 40 points and therefore a potential competitor in the race for Europe in the event of defeat.
Despite the defeat (0-2) in Lyon, the second goal having been scored only in the 94th minute on penalty, ASSE did not make such a bad copy as that and at home, with a public in merger, the team could transcend.
Rennes is not all risk insurance outside: Dijon, 17th, Amiens, 19th (in CDF), Reims, 8th, and Lille, 4th are the last to have beaten the Rennais on their lawn.
Free Betting Tips Saint Etienne vs Rennes
In terms of dynamics, level of play and classification in Ligue 1, everything indicates that Rennes should win this meeting. However, the Coupe de France is a completely different competition and the DNA of Saint-Etienne means that the Greens and their supporters can sublimate themselves for this type of event, a final of the Coupe de France at the Stade de France being at the key. The people of Rennes do not make this CDF a priority, we start with a qualification and a possible Saint-Etienne renewal!
