Betting on Rennes
To begin with, Rennes is sixth in the Ligue 1 standings, just one point behind Lille. This team has played 23 matchdays of the French league and in these matches has won 12 games, drawn 4 and lost 7, thus accumulating a total of 40 points. These are very positive numbers that give the team the confidence to aim for more. They have netted 42 goals and conceded just 28, leaving them with +14 in goal difference.
Although they have been playing well, the team’s last five matches in Ligue 1 have not been so favorable. They have won twice (1-0 vs PSG; 3-0 vs Strasbourg) and lost three times (2-1 vs Lorient; 1-3 vs Lille; 3-1 vs Toulouse). These defeats are made up of games against two teams below them in the table and one above them. However, they scored at least one goal in every game they played.
Possible lineup (4-4-2): Steve Mandanda; Djed Spence, Joe Rodon, Arthur Theate, Adrien Truffert; Benjamin Bourigeaud, Baptiste Santamaria, Flavien Tait, Jérémy Doku; Désiré Doue, Amine Gouiri.
Betting on Clermont
On the other hand, Clermont is six places below Rennes, in 12th place in the Ligue 1 standings. In the same number of games (23) they have won 8, drawn 6 and lost 9. The visiting team has 30 points, 10 less than its next opponent, and with a victory it could move up one position in the standings and tie with Reims.
The most recent rounds of Ligue 1, however, have been a challenge for Clermont. In five games, they have won one away game (1-2 vs Angers), drawn two (0-0 vs Nantes; 0-0 vs Lille) and lost two others (0-2 vs Monaco; 0-2 vs Marseille). This leaves them with only two goals in five games and four consecutive games without a victory.
Possible lineup (3-5-2): Mory Diaw; Florent Ogier, Mateusz Wieteska, Maximiliano Caufriez; Neto Borges, Saîf-Eddine Khaoui, Yohann Magnin, Muhammed Cham-Saračević, Grejohn Kyei; Jim Allevinah, Aïman Maurer.
JefeBet Prediction
Although Rennes recently drew with a team close in the standings to Clermont, this match is far from being similar. With the few goals scored by the visitors and an overall superior performance by the home side, at JefeBet we believe that the home side will emerge victorious.
Prediction: Rennes win 2-1.
