JefeBet Prediction
Rennes come into this match with five defeats in their last seven games, which shows the irregular moment they are going through. Despite the fact that the French have been marked by irregularity in recent weeks, at JefeBet we believe that they will manage to win by the minimum and send the game to extra time.
