Rennes - Clermont predictions

Punters who are looking for a safe bet should definitely consider this match. The home win odds of 1.54 bring great value considering the fact that Rennes are indeed firm favourites to defeat Clermont.

Clermont are massive underdogs and will be extremely lucky to avoid complete annihilation at the hands of Rennes.

Rennes’s latest outing at Le Havre ended in a narrow 0:1 win. The first half performance was rather mediocre, but they pulled through in the end.

Clermont’s previous round was a home match against Brest which ended in a draw. The scores were equal at half-time as well, which was quite surprising given the 3.90 odds on a home win.

We’ve seen an admirable level of consistency from Rennes and their goalscorers. With 5 goals spread over the last 3 matches, we can safely expect this match not to end with a nill on the scoreboard.

It’s easy to spot a certain trend when looking over Clermont’s recent history – and not in a good way. Their latest appearances were marked by a high concession rate. For example, their previous 3 matches featured more than 5 conceded goals.

Though Rennes are in the upper half of the Ligue 1 table, they’re 4 points behind European places. Current state of affairs is not exactly what we’d consider a success. However, their fans are hoping that the showdown against Clermont will be a step in the right direction.

Though they’re considered to be the clear underdogs in this game, Clermont should have clear motivation to reach their goals. They’re stuck in the relegation zone as we enter round 22, and they’ll need to act quickly while there’s still time.

These two teams already clashed this season, and Rennes walked away with a solid away win. It was fairly narrow, though, giving Clermont supporters some hope for this game despite the unfavourable matchup.

Our advice is to stay on the safe side and go for the Over 2.5 Goals market. It’s reliable, very probable, and available at odds of 1.78 if you use the Betway sportsbook.
