Perhaps a welcome break from league football as these teams face off to decide who makes it to next stage of the Coupe de la Ligue. All the pre-match information is available here!
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Amiens SC form and stats
Amiens SC participated in Coupe de la Ligue the last season, where they reached the 8th finals.Amiens SC have played 8 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 3-2-3 (wins-draws-losses).
Amiens SC drew their last game, also a home match. Dijon was the opponent, 1-1 the score. Prior to that, an away loss at Monaco in the Ligue 1.
The manager L. Elsner will start preparations for the next game as soon this is finished, as the hosts are going to Paris Saint Germain in only three days.
Amiens SC are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 10 goals in 8 games. Amiens SC have conceded 13 from these games.
Rennes form and stats
Rennes's mission in Coupe de la Ligue last season failed in the quarter-finals.The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 4 wins, 2 draws and 3 defeats. The visitors have performed well in their home games as well, building a total win streak of four games home and away. Rennes hope to make it five in this match. Winning streaks in away matches are not that common, but Rennes are close to a proper streak after winning their two previous away games.
It's the second away game in a row for Rennes, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Olympique Lyonnais in the Ligue 1 last time out. Before that, Rennes secured a home win against Lazio with the score 2-0.
A quick return to home after this game, as Rennes are hosting Bordeaux in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
Rennes have scored 9 goals on their travels this season, from 9 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Rennes as they have only conceded 7 goals from these away games.
