Nantes vs Rennes Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in the France Ligue 1 on Sunday, 26 February 2023.
Nantes have not been able to deliver decent performances consistently of late. A pick-up in form was seen in their display of late but have lost the most recent fixture against Lens, ending up a two-game winning streak.
They will have a hard test on Sunday as they faces Rennes sitting at fifth in the league standings. Moreover, Rennes won the reverse fixture with 3-0 ft score.
Rennes can also rely on the recent traditions since they won the previous three encounters against Nantes. In fact, Rennes was unbeaten in 8 of the last 10 head to head encounters.
The past four overall wins at this stadium was evenly split, with two each for both teams. Only one of the last 8 meetings at this venue had goals over 2.5 ft.
Rennes seems capable of sealing a win here despite of their losing streak on the road. We have seen them sealing a win over PSG when they were in need for a win and the current situation also demands a similar performance from them.
However, we don’t expect a one-sided affair here considering the recent home run of Nantes. A highly-competitive match-up with Rennes sealing a win is the result we expect here.
We expect an over 2.5 goal scenario here despite of their low-scoring trend in the h2h tradition. The main reason for that is the current inconsistent form of both teams. Moreover, Rennes have the third most number of over 2.5 goals recordings this season.
Rennes, whom we expect to seal a victory here, have leaked a total of 10 goals in the past four road trips. Knowing that Nantes have scored in four of the last five home matches, we have enough reasons to expect goals from both ends.
Nantes was unbeaten in five of the last six home matches. However, four of those five were draws. We are not going for a draw here because Rennes seem to have the potential we expect to seal a win here.
Rennes to win at 2.30 odds is our main betting pick here considering the reasons mentioned earlier. For the second tip, we like to place the both teams to score option at 1.91 odds.
