Toulouse vs Rennes Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1

Prediction published on 15/12/2023, 08:00  by Steve Ashfield in Ligue 1 Predictions

Toulouse host Rennes in Ligue 1 and need to replicate their Europa League form. They begin the weekend in 15th place but a win on Sunday will take them above visitors, 13th placed Rennes. Thursday saw Toulouse win at LASK in the Europa League and they are in the knockout play-off round after finishing second behind Liverpool. It's not going so well for Les Violets in Ligue 1 with them currently only a point above the relegation zone. Current form is not good in their domestic league with no wins in the last eight league fixtures played. Not since a win over Metz in October have they managed to win in Ligue 1. Their most recent league game saw them lose 3-0 at Lyon who prop up the table. At home this season, Le Tef have only won one league game with four draws and a solitary loss to Le Havre. Three of their last four matches in Ligue 1 have seen under 2.5 goals scored.

Rennes will see this game as a decent chance to move away from the nether region of Ligue 1.They are 13th at the start of this weekend and only three points above the relegation zone. However, The Rennais are just five points adrift of ninth place. Their form is also disappointing at present with their last two league games both being lost. Last time out they lost 2-1 at home to Monaco and before that were beaten 2-0 at Marseille. It didn't go quite so well for them in the Europa League on Thursday losing 3-2 at home to Villarreal but they will also be in the knockout play-off round. Away form in Ligue 1 has produced just three draws in six games with just a couple of goals scored. We go for under 2.5 goals to be scored in this game.
