Our prediction for this Coupe de France match:
Nancy
Match Time & Date:
02/01/2022
16:00
Prediction: 0-2
Rennes
A spot in the Coupe de France last 16 will be at stake when Nancy and Rennes square off against each other at Stade Marcel Picot. Nancy aim to make amends for a heavy 3-0 loss to Dijon, and they are likely to go all guns blazing at les Rouges et Noirs. A man to watch in the Ligue 2 side will be Senegal international Mamadou Thiam. Anyhow, home win should not be considered as Nancy are stuck at the bottom of the Ligue 2 standings.
Rennes, on the other hand, have big ambitions for the 2021/2022 Coupe de France campaign as they have slim chances of winning the Ligue 1 trophy. Les Rouges et Noirs are more of a team than Nancy, and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field. Keep in mind that all Aguerd, Salin, Doku, Meling, and Gelin have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the Ligue 1 side.
