Our prognosis: N2 on Angers – Rennes, Sochaux – St Etienne, Union St Gilloise – Anderlecht and Beerschot – Malines, then victory for Benfica at Estoril and Chelsea at Barnsley (4.78)
Advantage to visitors in this list of cups match!
Rennes have lost only one meeting this season on the road (see the “bet of the day” section). Sochaux (8th in Ligue 2) has won only one meeting at Bonal in three months, against the promoted Dunkirk, which is not very reassuring before facing St Etienne (15th in Ligue 1) who comes from take seven points out of nine in the league, in Nice, against Nantes and against Metz. Anderlecht, for his part, has the weapons to avoid defeat for the leader of the Belgian second division. Mechelen, which has just won four times away in a row in the Jupiler League, logically favorite on the lawn of Beershot which has not won at home since November 22, 2020 (3 draws and 3 defeats). Finally, Benfica and Chelsea should not be surprised in the Cup at Estoril and Barnsley, two lower division clubs. If I’m correct, you will multiply your stake by almost 5.
