Rennes will play host to Nantes in the 30th round of the French Ligue 1 this Friday. The two sides are not yet safe, Nantes being 13th and Rennes 11th heading into this match. Read on for our prediction.
Rennes haven't had a stellar season. Compared to their earlier campaigns, when they even qualified for Europe, this one has been underwhelming.
However, they have shown some good glimpses, even though going on and off at times. Like in their latest match, they were rampant in a 5-1 win at Le Havre.
That was their second win in three, and they scored eight times. Les Rouge et Noirs will now hope to do it at home.
Nantes are also coming from an away win. They beat Nice 2-1 for their second win in three matches and will hope to build on it here. The Canaries sit three points above the bottom three and will seek to widen this gap.
Among the things working in their favor is that they have a game in hand coming into this round. While a win here will not move them from 13th place, opening a six-point gap at this juncture would be key.
What doesn’t work for them outweighs that, though. Across all competitions, Nantes are winless in 10 away matches against Rennes, and they lost the last five.

Our Rennes vs Nantes Prediction
Nantes will come into this game as clear underdogs, going by their poor run away from home against Rennes. They have no win in 10 matches at Rennes and have lost each of the last five there in all competitions.
