Key Odds
- Rennes win: 1.90
- Metz win: 3.80
- Draw: 3.60
Rennes are favorites, but Metz look desperate for points. Metz’s last five meetings with Rennes saw mixed results – they’ve grabbed two wins, two draws, and one loss, which could boost morale. At home, Metz have struggled: in their last five games, they’ve drawn two, lost three, and scored rarely. Rennes performed a bit better in their last five away games, picking up some wins and draws.
Metz suffer from injuries (Ballo, Sy, Mboula), leaving their squad thin. Rennes have a clean bill of health, a big advantage. Metz’s main strengths are fighting spirit, strong starts, and occasional set-piece danger, but they struggle to finish chances, control midfield, and keep clean sheets. Rennes excel at passing, breaking down defenses, and wide attacks, but sometimes lose focus and concede sloppy goals, especially late in matches.
With relegation fears looming for Metz, expect them to fight hard. Will Rennes’ quality show or will Metz surprise everyone?
