Rennes Expected to Avoid Defeat in Nantes - and Goals are Likely
Nantes, France – Sunday’s Derby Breton between FC Nantes and Rennes promises a compelling clash, though current form suggests the visitors are better positioned to secure a positive result. While a tight contest is anticipated, our analysis points towards Rennes avoiding defeat and a match featuring over 1.5 goals (odds: 1.64).
Nantes have endured a difficult start to the season, suffering three losses in their opening four matches. This early slump has already raised concerns about their prospects for the remainder of the campaign, with performances failing to inspire confidence.
Rennes, meanwhile, have displayed a more inconsistent, yet ultimately promising, beginning. Impressive victories against Marseille (1-0) and Lyon (3-1) demonstrate their attacking capabilities.Though, a heavy defeat at lorient (0-4, playing with nine men for a significant portion) and a draw against Angers (1-1) highlight a vulnerability that Nantes will undoubtedly attempt to exploit.
Despite this inconsistency, the motivating factor of a derby match frequently enough brings out the best in players. considering this, and Rennes’ overall quality, we anticipate the Rouge et Noir will maintain their composure at the Beaujoire – Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau and secure at least a draw in a game likely to feature multiple goals.
