Angers SCO hosts Rennes in the Coupe de France 1/32 finals. The match will be played on Thursday, February 11th at Stade Raymond-Kopa (Angers)
Relatively recently, Angers SCO alternated between the 2nd and 3rd divisions. Having risen to the elite league of France in 2015, the club took 9th place in its first season. But then it turned into the middle peasant of the standings, finishing between 14th and 11th positions. And the Black and Whites were in the last line at the moment when the last draw was stopped. But now Stephane Moulin's charges look no worse than a range of other middle clubs that go over the equator of the Ligue 1 standings and lay claims to the European Cups. Angers SCO managed to end January with a home victory over Nimes, and February started with a goalless draw with Reims. But on Sunday, the Black and Whites suffered a 0-3 defeat in Nice.

Rennes was one of the triumphers of the last season in France. The Red-Blacks were able to win the argument against Lille for 3rd place and got the opportunity to debut in the Champions League (albeit unsuccessfully - only 4th place, even lower than Krasnodar). Obviously, Julien Stefan and his men were expected to repeat this result. But there have been very few victories lately. More precisely, Rennes won only once in the last month and a half (it beat Brest on January 17). The Red-Blacks lost to their direct competitor Lille, and four more games ended in draws, including with Lyon. Last Saturday Rennes and Lens didn’t score goals and shared points. And the game with Marseille was postponed for an unusual reason: fans attacked the base of Marseille, and the federation decided not to hold the meeting on time. In any case, now the Red-Blacks are at least 10 points behind the top three. Does Stefan himself believe that his players can defend their bronze medals?
Rennes mostly played successfully against Angers SCO. But in the current season, the Black and Whites managed to gain a 2-1 victory on the opponent's field. It seems that these teams are thinking more about how to play better in the decisive matches of League 1. So, it is unlikely that the cup game will be spectacular – we will bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
