Nice vs Rennes Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Nella Wagah in Ligue 1 Predictions
The French Ligue 1 resumes this Friday, with Nice welcoming Rennes in their first match of 2025. This clash at the Allianz Riviera finds Nice sixth in the standings and Rennes just four points above the drop zone. Below is our prediction for the match.
Nice didn’t have a great ending to 2024, having to scrape through their French Cup game against Corte. Reduced to 10 men in the first half, Nice had to battle from a goal down, drawing 1-1 then winning on penalties.
That result left them with just one clean sheet in their last 10 matches. At home in Ligue 1, Nice are unbeaten this season, winning four of the seven matches.
Rennes haven't had a great campaign, which has them on 17 points after 15 matches.
Their ending to 2024 was, however, strong and they will be looking to build on it. In their last two matches, they produced straight wins. The latest of them was a 4-1 away win at Bordeaux in the French Cup.
In their last league game, Rennes beat struggling Angers 2-0. It is their away form in Ligue 1 that’s problematic. The visitors come into this game on three straight defeats away from home.
They even failed to score in those three matches. In eight away league matches, Rennes managed just one point.

Our Nice vs Rennes Prediction
Rennes beat Nice in their last fixture, halting a two-game losing run against Nice. It will take a lot for them to do a repeat here. They come here having lost six times in the last eight away league matches.
Meanwhile, Nice have been dominant in their home matches in Ligue 1. The only drawback for Nice is that they aren’t keeping many clean sheets. That is a trend that could extend into this match; five of the last seven meetings between these two had both sides scoring. Our prediction for Nice v Rennes is for Nice to win and both teams to score.
