Rennes look to bounce back after recent struggles, while Nice aim to stay in the European spots. The top three odds from BET365 show Rennes to win at 2.20, Draw at 3.50, and Nice to win at 3.10—the bookies see Rennes as slight favorites. Rennes currently sit 11th with 17 points, and Nice are 6th with 27 points, so both teams have something to play for. Recent meetings have been tight: the last five head-to-heads ended 3-2 Nice, 2-0 Rennes, 2-0 Nice, 2-1 Nice, and 2-1 Rennes. At home, Rennes have 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses in their last five. Away, Nice split results with 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss.
Key strengths for Rennes include solid build-up play, creative wingers, and set-piece threat, but they're weak defensively and sometimes waste chances. Nice are tough at the back, fast on counters, and disciplined, but can struggle to break compact defenses. Both teams have no major suspensions, but Rennes have a few injury doubts in midfield. Interesting storylines: Can Rennes end their home slide? Will Nice’s away form hold? Watch Gaetan Laborde, who has scored in two of the last three meetings. Given their recent games and both teams’ tendency to score, goals could be on the cards—expect a hard-fought, attacking match.
