Prediction published on 25/08/2024, 02:36  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

Rennes are looking to build on a successful opening day in Ligue 1 when they travel to Strasbourg on Sunday. While Strasbourg started their season with a draw, Rennes had a winning start and both will focus on three points here. Read on for our prediction for this match.

Liam Rosenoir commenced his Strasbourg reign with a 1-1 draw at Montpellier on Sunday. Mouhamadou Diarra scored the first goal of Rosenoir’s era but Le Racing conceded a penalty and, in the end, shared spoils.

Having beaten Rennes in the teams’ last meeting, Strasbourg will be confident of righting the wrongs from Match Day 1. However, with six losses in the last 10 meetings with Rennes, it doesn’t look so promising for the hosts. Strasbourg come into this game having posted just a win in their last six league matches. In that run, they lost four times.

Rennes had a dream start to the season, thumping star-studded Lyon 3-0 at home. With such a win, the visitors will understandably be confident ahead of facing an opponent they’ve dominated.

They have lost just two times in their last 10 matches against Strasbourg. Amine Gouiri, who netted against Lyon has been a central figure in this fixture. He scored three times in the last four meetings. After finishing outside European spots last season, Rennes have clearly set the tone for their targets this term.

The bare minimum for Les Rouges et Noirs is to get back into the top seven this season. With five wins in their last 10 away league matches, Julien Stephan’s side will be positive about this game. They’ve also won three times in their last six visits to Strasbourg.
