Amiens vs Rennes Predictions

• The French Cup winners search for a victory here.
• Rennes have won 6 of their last 7 in Ligue 1.
• Amiens have lost 4 of their last 5.
• Rennes have claimed a victory in 4 of the last 5 meetings between these two.

Cup Winners Chase Glory

Can Rennes cap off a brilliant year with a push in the Coupe de la Ligue? The visitors head into this game looking to add to their French Cup victory earlier this year. After that success the squad will be looking for another strong run, especially given that they are one of the form sides in France going into this midweek tie.

Meanwhile, Amiens are facing the possibility of relegation based on their recent struggles, as the hosts are in poor form in Ligue 1 and sitting near the bottom. Will they be on the end of another defeat here?

Rennes the Form Side

The visitors come into this clash in storming form, which has carried them into contention for the top three in Ligue 1. The visitors have won six of their last seven matches in the league, a brilliant record which has pushed them just a point shy of the Champions League places. With their Europa League fate sealed they can focus on domestic affairs, including this competition.

The away side have impressed in the League Cup, along with their silverware in the French Cup. Rennes head into this one having scored twice in five of their last six matches in this competition, while they will look to continue that run when they meet Amiens this week.

Hosts on the Slide

Amiens have major issues to sort out in Ligue 1 before they think of a run in the Coupe de la Ligue. The hosts have failed to win in their last five in the league, picking up just one point during that run. They have lost heavily in the other four, shipping 14 goals in those defeats. That poor return has pushed Amiens towards the drop.

With Rennes on such a fine run, we have faith that they will follow through with a victory in midweek. The visitors have claimed a victory in four of the last five clashes between these two sides, so we are going with them to secure a win in this cup tie. A Rennes victory is our pick for this one, while we’re going with a 2-1 away victory. The visitors have won by a single goal in seven of their nine league wins this season, so we expect them to edge out Amiens.
