For the quarter-finals of the Coupe de France, there’s only one all-Ligue 1 matchup. Stade Rennais will host LOSC at the Stade de la Route de Lorient this Thursday. Despite facing difficulties in the league, Rennes sees this competition as a potential season-saving opportunity. Their recent 1-0 victory against Marseille has provided a much-needed morale boost, and now they aim to advance further in the cup.
Cameroonian central defender for Stade Rennais, Jean-Armel Kana-Biyik, acknowledges that Lille is considered the superior team, but emphasizes that in a cup match, anything can happen. Rennes approaches the game as underdogs, but they are determined to give their all. Reflecting on their performance against top teams in the league, Kana-Biyik believes that their desire to win should remain consistent regardless of the opponent, as a league is contested against all 19 clubs, not just the top few.
