Rennes, who won their previous game, will hope for a similar result following a 0-3 Ligue 1 victory versus Strasbourg.

In that game, Rennes managed 45% possession and 26 shots at goal with 9 on target. For Rennes, the goalscorers were Esteban Lepaul (20'), Breel Embolo (50') and Mousa Al Ta'mari (52'). On the other side, Strasbourg got 9 attempts on goal with 1 on target.

Three or more goals per match were recorded in 5 of the past 6 meetings where Rennes have been involved. Opposition teams scored 6 times in these games while Rennes amassed a tally of 14. We will just have to find out whether or not that trend will be sustained in this game.

Their previous form shows that Rennes:

• haven't been beaten in the league by Nantes in their last 2 matches.
• haven't been defeated in their previous 2 league matches at home.

Nantes

LLDDDL ⚠

Following on from a losing effort in their last game against Paris Saint-Germain in Ligue 1 action, Nantes will be hoping to turn things around here.

In that match, Nantes had 30% possession and 11 shots at goal with 4 of them on target. On the other side, Paris Saint-Germain had 14 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Khvicha Kvaratskhelia (13', 50') and Désiré Doué (37') scored for Paris Saint-Germain.

In 5 of the prior 6 clashes featuring Nantes, a notably low volume of goals have been scored between them and opposing teams. The overall average goals scored per game in that spell works out to a mere 1.5, with the number of goals averaged by Les Canaris equalling 0.5.

Coming into this contest, Nantes haven't won against Rennes when they've played them away from home in the last 11 league matches. Very poor away form.

📰 Team News: Rennes

We are thinking that Rennes should use the 4-4-2 system for the game featuring Brice Samba, Alidu Seidu, A. Ait Boudlal, Lilian Brassier, Quentin Merlin, Ludovic Blas, Sebastian Szymanski, Mahdi Camara, Mousa Tamari, Esteban Lepaul and Breel Embolo.

ℹ️ Team News: Nantes

We reckon that Les Canaris appear most likely to make use of a 5-3-2 formation, settling for Anthony Lopes, Frederic Guilbert, Ali Yousef Musrati, Nicolas Cozza, Mathieu Acapandie, Deiver Machado, Johann Lepenant, Ibrahima Sissoko, Louis Leroux, Mostafa Mohamed and Matthis Abline.

⚡ Prediction

We feel that in this game, Rennes can get the win and a possible clean sheet when they come up against Nantes, who may well struggle to break down their defence.

Our tip is for a pretty comfortable 2-0 winning margin for Rennes come full-time.
