Bordeaux will welcome Rennes for a Coupe de France round of 64 tie. The winner will progress to the sixth round of the competition. Below is our prediction for this match. Bordeaux are four-time French Cup champions and will hope to use their pedigree to progress from this round. Bruno Irles’ men, who are playing in the fourth tier, are putting a 12-match unbeaten run on the line here. They have won seven times in this rich spell with two of their wins coming in the Cup. Bordeaux, who are third in the National 2 league, haven’t lost in three of their last five meetings with Rennes. Two of those games have ended in victory.

Rennes eliminated Bordeaux from the Cup the last time they faced off. This was in this very round in the 2022/23 season. The three times Coupe champions, though struggling with their form, will be confident of another such success. Rennes, who do not have any continental engagements, have managed just five wins this season. This disappointing form has led to a coaching change but to very little effect. Rennes, who made the Cup semis last year, have lost four times in their last six games. Les Rouge et Noirs are coming off a 2-0 victory over Angers that saw them put a bit of daylight between them and the relegation zone in Ligue 1.
