Nice begin the weekend top of Ligue 1 and host Rennes who are eigth in the table. The chances are that Nice will lose top spot on Friday as PSG host Montpellier. A win over Rennes will guarantee that the Eaglets end the weekend top of Ligue 1. They are unbeaten in their first ten league games of the season and come into this match aiming to win a fourth straight game in Ligue 1. 'Nice won all three of those games by a 1-0 scoreline. Home form has produced a couple of wins and three draws. Only five goals have been scored in those games with just one conceded on home soil this season. The last four have seen them keep a clean sheet. Under 2.5 goals have been scored in nine of their last ten matches.

Rennes are ten points adrift of Nice and six behind the final Champions League place. Their current form is not helping their hopes of European football next season. The Red and Blacks have only earned one point from their last three league games. That came last weekend when losing a lead but drawing 1-1 at home to Strasbourg. Away form for The Rennais sees them still waiting to record their first win. Three out of four away league games have ended level, the other being a 2-1 loss at Lorient last time out. Three of their last four away league games have had under 2.5 goals scored in them. Our tip here is for Nice to win in a game with under 2.5 goals scored.
