Reims vs Rennes Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1

Prediction published on 16/02/2019, 06:47  by Daniel Ngulu in Ligue 1 Predictions

For either of Reims and Rennes, a win could guarantee a rise to fifth place, just outside the Europa League spot and this is definitely what the two sides will be fighting for. Rennes are currently playing in the Europa League and will want another season in Europe and they head to this clash at Stade Auguste – Delaune II with high hopes, having picked three wins and a draw in their last four matches but they will need to dig deep against their hosts, who have two wins and a draw in the last three matches. Reims are unbeaten in their last eight Ligue 1 matches, but five of those have ended in draws. With just four clean sheets in 15 Ligue 1 matches, Reims will carry some concern about their defence line but that is covered by the fact that they have managed to score in each of the last eight matches. They face a Rennes side with two straight wins in Ligue 1, scoring four goals in the two matches, while they have scored 10 goals in the last five matches across all competitions but have lost their last two Ligue 1 matches away from home, to league leaders PSG and bottom side Guingamp. Rennes have scored in each of their last five away league matches, netting seven goals. Four of their last seven meetings have yielded over 2.5 goals and in 12 meetings in history, Reims have six wins and Rennes five.
