Betting on Nantes
Things have been difficult for Nantes recently, as they have been unable to register a win in the second half of February and have now gone three games without a win in all competitions, with two defeats and a draw. The biggest concern lies in the fact that they register two consecutive defeats and in both they have conceded three goals to their opponents, and coming into this game on the back of their elimination from the Europa League may not bode well.
In their most recent home match in Ligue 1, Nantes won 1-0 against Lorient, being this one their fourth home win. Playing at home, it has achieved most of its victories and in fact has only two defeats in 11 games played at home.
Probable lineup (3-4-1-2): Alban Lafont; Charles Traoré, Andrei Girotto, Joao Victor; Jaouen Hadjam, Samuel Moutoussamy, Moussa Sissoko, Sébastien Corchia; Florent Mollet; Moses Simon, Mostafa Mohamed
Betting on Stade Rennais
Stade Rennais recently beat Clermont 2-0 after two consecutive losses to Lille and Toulouse. These setbacks prevented it from remaining in the top five, and now the visiting team will continue to compete in the following matchdays.
Stade Rennais currently occupies the sixth place with 43 points, one point behind Lille. As the difference is not so great, they could strive here to get three more points to help them stay or go up. Something that should not be ignored is the fact that they will be playing as visitors and have registered terrible results in that condition, having won only two of their 11 games and recently had a streak of four consecutive defeats.
Probable line-up (4-2-3-1): Steve Mandanda; Birger Meling, Jeanuel Belocian, Warmed Omari, Djed Spence; Lovro Majer, Baptiste Santamaria; Benjamin Bourigeaud, Desire Doué, Karl Toko Ekambi; Arnaud Kalimuendo
JefeBet Prediction
Having a five-game winless streak on the road may cast doubt on Stade Rennais’ ability to get a win here, but really of the two sides, they have the more at stake.
The visiors beat Nantes by a score of 3-0 in their previous meeting this season. Perhaps such a scoreline is not expected for this new game, but a win for Stade Rennais to end a four-month winless drought on their opponents’ turf would be the most likely result.
Prediction: Stade Rennais wins by a score of 0-1.
