Game Prediction
On Thursday, the number of exciting events in the football world can be literally counted on one’s fingers. These will mainly be the cup confrontations, and France will be no exception. There, the round of 1/8 finals will be closed by the duel between Rouen and Monaco. The expert department of the website has made a prediction for the match on February 8, 2024.
Rouen has just returned to the Ligue 3
“The Red Devils”, on the one hand, even reached the championship title twice during the Second World War, but those successes are perceived with reservations. The rest of the time, which accounts 125 years of existence, there were only 2 appearances in the cup finals, both unsuccessful. Moreover, the team played in the fourth, semi-amateur division of the country a year ago. However, it looks more than confident in the Legue 3 and definitely won’t be relegated. As a result, it’s not surprising that attention was paid to the cup tournament. The club has already knocked out 4 opponents, including Toulouse, there. The regular time of the battle against the higher mentioned rival brought a 3-3 draw, after which the team eliminated the favourite by means of the twelfth penalty kick.
Monaco is trying to improve its performance in the current season
“The Monegasques” are memorable because they were the first to interrupt the dominance of PSG by winning the Ligue 1 in 2017. There were no new such successes, but they managed to close the top 3 in 2021 and 2022. The fall to 6th place in the previous season was naturally perceived as a failure, especially since the team was left without the European tournaments. Adi Hütter was called in to change the higher mentioned state of things, but it cannot be said that he definitely succeeded. There is some progress, but there are also plenty of misfires. As for the cup confrontation with Lens, the opponent was overcome only on penalties. After that there was a modest opponent, Rodez, and, as expected, it turned out much easier with it – the away match ended with a 3-1 score.
