Rennes – Nantes, French Ligue 1 Prediction

Rennes was without some major players in defense in last year’s Ligue 1 match against Nice, but still managed to draw. Rennes this season is in the role of Lille from the past with the difference that they do not have as prominent stars as Les Dogues. If Rennes fails to win a few more games, however, they may lose their third position because Lyon does not stop winning and Montpellier is also very close.

Nantes has only 2 draws this campaign. In every match this team goes out for everything or nothing. In the previous round, they did it also at home in the match against Bordeaux, but in the end Nantes lost 0-1. The canaries rely mostly on left flank breakouts and long shots. They are able to control the ball in half of the opponent, because they have some pretty good players in the midfield.

 Expert view : We think the match will be pretty even, but these teams rarely make a draw this season. In total, they only have 6 draws after a total of 42 games behind their backs. From this point of view, it is logical to see a win for some of the 2 teams. We think it’s much more likely to be Rennes. This is where Rennes bet to win either half at 1.66 makes so much sense.

Nantes have 4 losses in their last 6 games
