Bordeaux vs Stade Rennais Prediction and Betting Tips | December 22nd 2024

Stade Rennais begin their journey in the 2024-25 Coupe de France when they go head-to-head with Bordeaux at the Nouveau Stade de Bordeaux on Sunday. Jorge Sampaoli’s men have failed to win their seven away matches this season and will be looking to end this dry spell.

Bordeaux continued their surge to the top of the French National 2 Group B table last Saturday when they secured a 1-0 victory over La Roche Vendée. Bruno Irles’ men have picked up five wins and six draws from their 12 National 2 games so far to sit fourth in the table, 11 points off first-placed Saint-Malo.

Bordeaux now turn their sights to the Coupe de France, where they have brushed aside Bressuire and Les Herbiers, scoring four goals and keeping two clean sheets en route to the round of 64.

Stade Rennais, on the other hand, returned to winning ways last time out when they edged out Angers 2-0 in the Ligue 1 clash at Roazhon Park. Sampaoli’s men have picked up two wins from their most recent three matches, with a 1-0 loss against Nantes on December 8 sandwiched between the two victories.

Rennes, who are 12th in the Ligue 1 table, now turn their focus to the Coupe de France, where they will be looking to surpass their run from last season, where they reached the semi-finals before losing 1-0 against Paris Saint-Germain.
