Will Rennes move into the cup final? Follow up St. Etienne vs Rennes free betting tips – Coupe de France 2020

This odds currently describes the situation with the French record champions from Saint-Etienne. “Les Verts” are in free fall and no longer come out of the crisis. The cushion on the relegation places has now shrunk to two points, which increases the pressure on head coach Claude Puel.

In the Coupe de France, “ASSE” is among the top four teams. In the cup semi-final, St. Etienne is now facing the home game against Stade Rennes. Bookmakers see St. Etienne vs. Rennes as a slight outsider. Odds of 2.90 are currently offered for a tip on the home side. With the current form crisis of “ASSE” certainly not the best choice.

Due to the precarious personnel situation at AS Saint-Etienne, betting odds are currently subject to fluctuations. Up to seven players could miss the cup semi-final against Stade Rennes, including offensive conductor Wahbi Khazri. Depending on which players will be able to play, it is still difficult to predict at St. Etienne vs Rennes in the 1X2 market.

St. Etienne – Statistics & current form

Claude Puel worries about his job. According to the working paper, the 58-year-old Frenchman still has a contract until 2022. If the form crisis persists, a coach change at St. Etienne will be unavoidable. In Ligue 1, “ASSE” is in free fall and keeps approaching the red zone. If there is still no victory next weekend, in the worst scenario there will be a relegation place for St. Etienne.

Relegation battle in the second half of the season

Relegation in Ligue 1 has become the primary goal. “Les Verts” have not yet found a solution to the form crisis and are further restricted by the personnel emergency. In the last eleven league games, there was only one win for St. Etienne. Head coach Claude Puel cannot make nine defeats beautiful.

There was a derby bankruptcy against Olympique Lyon last matchday. “ASSE” did not show a bad offensive performance in the absence of players like Khazri, Nordin, Monnet-Paquet, Hamouma and Youssouf, but was again punished for the vulnerable defense. In Ligue 1, 44 goals conceded by St. Etienne are currently outbid only by Toulouse (56) and Amiens (48).

Home advantage crucial?

In contrast to last season, when St. Etienne was one of the three strongest teams in Ligue 1, the performances at Stade Geoffroy-Guichard were rather poor this season. In 13 home games there was only a home record of 4-5-4 for “ASSE”. In the last six home games, St. Etienne has conceded a total of 11 goals.

In the current constitution, the home advantage at “ASSE” should therefore not be overestimated.

Probable lineup of St. Etienne:

↪ Moulin – Kolodziejczak, Fofana, Saliba, Debuchy – Honorat, M’Vila, Cabaye, Trauco – Diony, Bouanga

Last games from St. Etienne:

⚽️ Ligue 1: 03/01 2020 Lyon 2-0 Saint-Etienne
⚽️ Ligue 1: 02/23 2020 Saint-Etienne 1-1 Reims
⚽️ Ligue 1: 02/16 2020 Brest 3-2 Saint-Etienne
⚽️ Coupe de France: 02/13 2020 Epinal 1-2 Saint-Etienne
⚽️ Ligue 1: 02/09 2020 Montpellier 1-0 Saint-Etienne

Rennes – Statistics & current form

Stade Rennes senses the chance of the cup final. For the black and red, the form crisis of the cup opponent comes in handy. If the hospital at “ASSE” does not shrink, the Rennes defensive bulwark is unlikely to be a major challenge. The final entry and the associated title defense in the Coupe de France is within your grasp.

Second consecutive cup title?

Last season, Stade Rennes was crowned champion of the Coupe de France. On the way to the final of the Coupe de France 2018/19, the black-red teams like Lille, Orleans and Lyon eliminated before the superiority from Paris was forced to its knees. Stade Rennes won the third cup title in the club’s history.

The new edition of the 2018/19 cup final may be available this season. PSG will meet Olympique Lyon in the second pairing of the Coupe de France.

Rennes on the Champions League course

Stade Rennes is in third place in Ligue 1 with 47 points. According to the current status, the right to start for the Champions League qualification in the 2020/21 season will be there. The chasers are closely behind the black and red, especially OSC Lille, who are just one point behind Rennes in fourth place in the table.

So far, Stade Rennes owes the strong season mainly to the solid defensive work. This season, only Stade Reims conceded fewer goals (21) than Rennes. With only 24 goals conceded in 27 league games, the Black-Reds are level with the leaders from Paris.

The hospital at Rennes is manageable compared to St. Etienne. Head coach Julien Stéphan can largely rely on the regular staff. No major changes are expected in the starting XI.

Probable lineups of Rennes:

↪ Mendy – Maouassa, Da Silva, Gnagnon, Traoré – Bourigeaud, Nzonzi, Camavinga, Raphinha – Niang, Del Castillo

Last games from Rennes:

⚽️ Ligue 1: 02/29 2020 Toulouse 0-2 Rennes
⚽️ Ligue 1: 02/23 2020 Rennes 2-1 Nimes
⚽️ Ligue 1: 02/16 2020 Reims 1-0 Rennes
⚽️ Coupe de France: 02/11 2020 ASM Belfort 0-3 Rennes
⚽️ Ligue 1: 02/08 2020 Rennes 0-0 Brest

St. Etienne vs Rennes Direct comparison

It will be the 102nd duel between St. Etienne and Rennes. So far, “ASSE” has led the direct comparison against the black-reds from Rennes with a record of 43-31-27. In the recent past, there was little to cheer for St. Etienne. There has been only one win for “ASSE” in the last 13 duels. This also impressively shows how insignificant the historical comparison can be.

Stade Rennes last won against St. Etienne twice in a row. In both cases, the black-reds prevailed at home. Rennes has been without a win in Saint-Etienne since May 2011. Most recently, both clubs played six times in a row with “ASSE” draws. If this trend continues in the cup game, St. Etienne vs. Rennes paid lucrative odds.
