Prediction published on 31/05/2023, 18:00  by Steve Ashfield in Ligue 1 Predictions

Fifth placed Rennes travel to in-form Brest for their final Ligue 1 game of the season. The 14th placed side are safe from relegation but this is a vital game for the visitors. They could end the game qualified for either the Europa League or the Conference League or miss out on Europe altogether. Going into this final game, Les Rennais are a point behind fourth placed Lille and above Monaco (who are sixth) on goal difference. With Lille playing at relegatef Troyes and Monaco home to out-of-form Toulouse, Rennes may well need a win here if they want to stay in the European places. Their current form indicates that they can win this match at Brest. Rennes have won their last three league fixtures by an aggregate score of 11-0. The first two were against sides battling relegation but the most recent was a vital 2-0 home win over Monaco. Rennes do struggle at times on the road with three defeats in the last four played.

Brest have little to play for in this game. They have moved well away from the relegation zone and are now 11 points above the bottom four. The home side have won their last three league games and have just one loss in the last ten Ligue 1 matches. Before that though they had lost four of their last five matches. A form guide for the last ten league games has them in fourth with three points more than their opponents. Home form has seen Brest win their last five league fixtures. This is an intriguing match with Les Rouge et Noire out to secure European qualification but facing an in-form side. A bet on both teams to score can be a winning one.
