Rennes - Brest predictions

Rennes are not exactly firm favourites to register three points in this game but we still believe they will manage to defeat Brest. The odds of 2.30 might sound a bit risky but we still trust hosts can come out on top in the end.

Brest is known for their determination and we expect them to give their all in pursuit of a win in this match.

Rennes’s form seems to be quite strong if their most recent performance at Nantes is of any indication. After a mediocre display in the first half of an unfavourable away game, a few surprise goals led them to a convincing 0:3 triumph.

While Brest’s previous Ligue 1 match-up was somewhat hard for them, though the fact that they played as hosts made fans hope for a positive outcome. Such hopes were in vain - Brest were already behind at half-time, and the game ended in a decisive 0:2 victory for Monaco.

With 9 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Brest's backline has much to be wished for

With 31 games already behind them, Brest place as one of the most successful teams this season. They’re currently number 3rd in the standings, which could eventually get them to the Champions League. However, they’ll have to be careful not to stumble now – they’ll be fighting an uphill battle this Sunday in Roazhon Park.

Looking back at the recent history of clashes between these two teams, the most notable example is a sound defeat Brest suffered last season. Partly thanks to the considerable goal difference Rennes secured in that match, they’re considered favourites to win the match on Sunday.

Despite being seen as underdogs by most online bookmakers, the visiting team will be able to give their all this Sunday. They have no reported injuries or suspensions going in, so at least they’ll be able to rely on their best players and strategies.

There’s nothing quite worse than losing a wager to a surprise draw, which is a distinct possibility in this matchup. Nonetheless, our solution is to simply go for a Draw No Bet market for a Home Win – an excellent chance of success, plus decent value with the odds set at 1.40.
