Rennes - Brest predictions

Rennes are expected to win here, but we can’t call such betting predictions completely foolproof. Brest may surprise us yet, and even a tie game seems a decent possibility from where we’re standing.

It’s highly unlikely that Brest will manage to get some points this round. Rennes are at a considerable advantage, so even a draw would be a success for the visitors.

Although Rennes are coming on the back of a harsh 5:0 loss, it would be rather unfair to judge them purely on that performance. They were playing an away game in an extremely difficult matchup against Paris Saint Germain , so they spent most of the match trailing behind.

Brest are coming off of a notable home victory in the previous round. Top online bookmakers and most Ligue 1 betting predictions saw them as the clear underdogs compared to Monaco. However, they took an unexpected lead in the early game and eventually finished the game with a 1:0 lead.

Rennes have been struggling to keep the ball out of their net lately. For instance, their previous 3 Ligue 1 matches were marked by more than 5 goals conceded in total.

The visitors are on a bit of a purple patch when it comes to scoring, with 5 goals scored in total in their latest 3 Ligue 1 matches. If the trend continues, we’re bound to see a pretty exciting game here.

Number 6th in the standings, Rennes have done a decent job so far. Still, they can afford to have loftier ambitions with a matchup such as this one ahead of them. Besides, there are quite a few rounds yet to be played.

Placed at number 10th in the standings, Brest have clear ambitions to move a bit further up the table. They’ll need 5 points to reach a Europa League qualifying spot, and have close to half the season left to get there. Of course, even a single point this round will be a success considering the uphill battle that awaits them in Roazhon Park.

This Saturday, both teams will be at full strength and able to give it their all.

You can safely put down an Over 2.5 Goals bet on this match and feel very confident. If the teams’ records are any indication, 3 or more goals in this match are almost guaranteed.
