Ligue 1 Betting Preview: Rennes vs Nantes

Rennes welcome second-from-bottom Nantes to Roazhon Park, with kick-off set for 11:15 on Sunday 26 April.

It makes sense to back Rennes -1.25 at -109 on the Asian Handicap. The favourites should beat Nantes by two goals or more, although we have the insurance of half our stake back should they win by a single goal.

Rennes won last time out by a 3-0 scoreline. Away from home against Strasbourg at Stade de la Meinau, they made it three victories on the spin. Franck Haise's side managed seven shots on target and had 45% possession, with Esteban Lepaul, Breel Embolo and Mousa Tamari scoring one goal apiece.

Nantes suffered a defeat in their previous game. A 3-0 scoreline occurred on the road at Parc des Princes against Paris Saint-Germain. The Pays de la Loire team didn’t see much of the ball with just 30% possession and four shots on goal.

Head-to-Head Statistics

The last clash between Nantes and Rennes saw the former host a 2-2 draw at Stade de la Beaujoire. In the past 10 H2H matches, there have been seven Rennes victories, two Nantes wins and a draw.
