Ligue 1 Betting Preview: Rennes vs Metz

Seventh-placed Rennes go head-to-head with bottom-of-the-table Metz at Roazhon Park, with kick-off set for 11:15 on Sunday 22 March.

We’re expecting Rennes to dominate against Metz and the Asian Handicap offers us the chance to back them at -1.5. Odds of -103 seem pretty generous that the hosts are able to win by two or more.

Rennes lost when last in action. In a home game at Roazhon Park, they were turned over 2-1 by LOSC Lille. The Brittany club had most of the ball boasting 59% possession and four shots on target, with Esteban Lepaul scoring the goal.

Metz have suffered five consecutive Ligue 1 losses, recently being beaten at home by Toulouse 4-3 at Stade Saint-Symphorien. Benoit Tavenot's side recorded 50% possession and managed eight shots on goal, while Nathan Mbala, Koffi Kouao and Giorgi Abuashvili found the net.
