Nantes vs Rennes tips and predictions

Decent tussle in Ligue 1

With 8 points between them, it's 14th placed Nantes versus tenth placed Rennes in this Ligue 1 clash.

Rennes are picked to pocket a win here.

The hosts will be hoping to put some of their recent moderate displays behind them. Nantes look out of sorts, having lost their last 8 games as hosts and will be desperate to press the reset button. These losses have been characterised by a lack of goals. They've slotted only 4 goals in their latest 11 matches on their own soil and that isn't anything like preparation for the challenge they face. They will also need to shore up their defence. They have conceded two or more goals in all of their last 4 home matches which is a fact that will give fans of the visitors some optimism.

Rennes have produced some commendable results. Notably they've scored three or more goals in 5 of their last 15 away fixtures and if the hosts are ill-prepared, the visitors will be optimistic here. If the away players hit their straps they should be the side celebrating after ninety minutes.

Alternatively there's a pretty low rated side bet in the BTTS No market. As far as the total goals line goes, it's three goals or more picked as the best play given these prices.

Nantes have only won 2 of the last 20 matches between these sides.
