Over their past half dozen games alone, a total of 20 goals have been scored for both sides combined (at an average of 3.33 goals per game) with 13 of those being chalked up by Rennes. That sort of trend might not be continued here, of course.

✨ Prediction

We’re thinking that Rennes are likely to get a lot of shots on goal and make them count.

At the same time, Nantes won’t find it easy to find the back of the net but we do think it’s quite likely that they will be hitting back at some stage, too.

We reckon that it will be a comfortable 3-1 winning margin for Rennes at the end of the match.
