Betting on Stade Rennais F.C.
Rennes missed a great opportunity to consolidate its position in the European competition places by losing 2-1 to Lorient last week. This result came on the heels of a narrow 1-0 defeat to Marseille in the Coupe de France.
Even so, the team coached by Bruno Génésio is fifth in the standings and only five points behind third place, which is the last place in the Champions League. Their return to Roazhon Park will give them high hopes of taking all three points, considering that they have done so in nine of their ten home league games this campaign..
In fact, to take advantage of this meeting is a mission that Les Rouges et Noirs cannot fail, as they have had many problems on the road; in fact, it’s at home where they have taken 27 of their 37 points so far, including three against PSG in their most recent outing here.
Possible Lineup (5-4-1): Steve Mandanda; Hamari Traoré, Christopher Wooh, Joe Rodon, Arthur Theate, Adriend Truffert; Benjamin Bourigeaud, Flavien Tait, Baptiste Santamaria, Desire Doue; Amine Gouiri.
Betting on RC Strasbourg Alsace
For their part, Strasbourg were unable to build on a fantastic 1-2 away win over Lyon two weeks ago, as they lost 1-2 at home to newly-promoted Toulouse last time out even after opening the scoring through Kevin Gameiro in the 20th minute.
Ranked seventeenth in the standings, which is the last place in the relegation zone, Strasbourg needs to bounce back as soon as possible. However, to do so it is absolutely necessary for them to start improving on their side of the pitch, as they are one of the teams of the campaign that concedes the most goals, with 36.
Strasbourg will have to face this match without one of their top scorers, Gameiro (seven goals), who was sent off in the final minutes of their previous match; however, they should have some hope of at least getting a few points here, given that, so far, it has scored more points away (9) than at home (6).).
Possible Lineup (3-5-2): Matz Sels; Ismael Doukoure, Aleksander Djiku, Maxime Le Marchand; Frederic Guilbert, Eudes Aholou, Sanjin Prcic, Morgan Sanson, Eduard Sobol; Habib Diallo, Lebo Mothiba.
JefeBet Prediction
Rennes took a 1-3 win at home to Strasbourg in the first meeting between the sides of the campaign, and things haven’t changed much since then. In fact, Rennes is even more solid and Strasbourg is still unable to find its best version and its stay in the top flight is increasingly in jeopardy.
Six of the last seven meetings between the two sides at Roazhon Park have gone Rennes’ way. Additionally, given how strong Rennes has been at home and the fact that Strasbourg has given up at least two goals in 11 of their past 13 league games, we anticipate the home team to dominate the tempo in this game and secure a comfortable victory.
Prediction: Rennes Asian handicap (REN 2 – 0 EST).
