Game Prediction
This weekend in France, they decided to showcase originality by hosting a round of the country's cup. So far, only the 1/16 finals have been reached, and, understandably, there are plenty of weak participants. However, there are also strong matchups, such as Rennes and Marseille. A free forecast for their match on January 21, 2024, has been provided for the readers of the website.
Rennes is currently having a tough season.
The "Red and Blacks" displayed their best results in recent years, including winning the country's cup in 2019 – the first such success in almost half a century. A year later, they achieved their highest, third-place finish. This even allowed them to debut in the Champions League. In the previous season, they secured a quite high fourth position. However, currently, their performance is decent only in the Europa League. Still, their first opponent in the playoffs will be the tournament favorite, Milan. Moreover, in the domestic league, even after a change in the coach (Julien Stephan took over in November), they have fewer victories than defeats, and they are placed in the bottom half of the top 10, despite a 3-1 win against Clermont and a 2-0 victory against Nice.
Marseille is going through a challenging season.
The "Provencals" finished the previous season in third place. Nevertheless, in the summer, they changed the coach again, with Marcelino taking over instead of Tudor. However, the fans categorically rejected the Spaniard, and in September, Gattuso became the new coach. The decision to bet on Gennaro was controversial, especially considering his failure last season with Valencia. However, in France, he is doing reasonably well, although matches often result in draws. As a result, "Olympique" has reached the playoffs of the Europa League, where they will face Shakhtar Donetsk in February. In the league, they manage to stay in the European competition zone with 7 wins, 4 draws, and 4 losses.
Previous matches:
In 2022, the "Red and Blacks" managed to secure 4 points in two matches against "Provencals." However, in the past calendar year, "Olympique" won three times, consistently with clean sheets, 1-0 or 2-0.
