Stade Rennais host Evian TG at the Stade de la Route de Lorient in the Coupe de France last-eight and  coach wants his side to eliminate the newly-promoted Ligue 1 side that have done well in their debut campaign
The meeting between Rennais and Evian is one of the four big-games between the Ligue 1 teams in the last eight of the Coupe de http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899. Due to the intense cold conditions that have occurred all across Europe, many Ligue 1 and Ligue 2 stadiums became impassable terrains.
However, the Route de Lorient has escaped nature’s fury somehow which means that Rennais Vs Evian would be the only cup game to be played on Tuesday.
The other two games, Bourge-Peronnas (L4) Vs Marseille and Dijon Vs PSG have been postponed to February 15.
The game between Evian and Rennais is a crucial game for both sides as the duo failed to reach the final of the Coupe de France.
Furthermore, both sides have had disappointing last few games in the league. Rennais drew against Nancy Lorraine at the weekend while Evian lost 3-1 to leaders Paris Saint-Germain.
For Rennais, a victory is even more important as they are in sixth place in the Ligue 1 standings which means that reaching a cup final could be their only hope of playing in Europe next season.
While talking to reporters, coach Frederic Antonetti said that the win for his side was crucial.
“We must go for it, that’s all. We have already received Evian in the Championnat but it never looks like another match. There are always different parameters. And particularly in the Coupe de France where the luck factor is very important. Club needs to win a trophy. The Coupe de France can be a way to get it. We want to make a good run in this competition.”
Certainly, Stade Rennais must do everything they can in order to reach the final and possibly try to win it. Currently, the likes of Paris Saint-Germain, Montpellier Herault, LOSC Lille, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Olympique-de-Marseille-c40127 have set the tone for the race to European positions which means that Rennais will have to find out another alternative to play in Europe next season.
