Nantes vs Rennes Prediction and Expert Tips

Nantes vs Rennes Match Preview

The round 4 of Ligue 1 match-ups concluded with some surprises and one such was a 3-1 win by Rennes against Lyon. Rennes did so against the best looking Ligue 1 team in the first three rounds, who boasted a three-match winning streak in the back. Now, Rennes have succeeded in ending their two-match winless streak and will be looking to make this victory count.

This is a wonderful opportunity for them to realize their expectations as they visit Nantes on Saturday. Nantes is one of six disappointing clubs, who have lost three matches in their first four rounds in the Ligue 1. They are maintaining a trend strictly as well. All of the four games of Nantes involved a 1-0 score. One of it was a win and the remaining three were a loss.

This shape won’t assist them against Rennes for certain. The past also reflects a decisive advantage for the Rennes side because they achieved seven victories in the previous eight meetings alone against Nantes. Even at Stade de la Beaujoire, Rennes achieved four victories in the last five against Nantes. So Nantes have nothing to lay as a competitive showing against this Rennes team and this is another possible letdown for the home faithful at Stade de la Beaujoire on Saturday.

Nantes vs Rennes Prediction

Nantes beat Auxerre 1-0 in the second Ligue 1 home match. They were on a four-match losing streak before clinching that victory. And the aspect that counts here is Auxerre is one among those six Ligue 1 sides who have lost three of their first four games at home.

Rennes’ case isn’t impressive too as they draw and lost one each of their two initial matches. It would have been a close match if Nantes had a good record. But Rennes side dominates unanimously when this encounter’s history is considered. And the recent morale booster winning over Lyon is yet another solid reason to anticipate Rennes victory here.

Thus, we anticipate Rennes to score another 1-0 victory on Saturday which doesn’t influence Nantes’ trend of conceding a 1-0 score. Rennes already possess a 1-0 winning score for the season with their win over Marseille as well. Furthermore, Rennes haven’t scored more than 1 goal in three of their four Ligue 1 matches at the beginning.
