Rennes - Saint-Étienne betting tips and odds

It’s quite easy to predict that Rennes will take the 3 points here. Though a different result is not entirely impossible, it would still be quite a notable upset.

This one has Home Win written all over it. The hosts are expected to grab a firm hold of the proceedings and Saint-Étienne will be left with slim pickings in this match.

Rennes quickly emerged as the dominant side in their previous Ligue 1 showdown, which was hardly a surprise given the 1.40 odds on them winning. They easily confirmed what most predictions were expecting and recorded a 5:0 win.

Saint-Étienne are coming off from a crushing 1:4 defeat at their previous away game. The match was a largely one-sided affair. Top online bookmakers heavily favoured Monaco, who took the lead in the first half and went on to take home 3 points towards the Ligue 1 title.

Rennes have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

With 7 goals in their own net over the last 3 matches, Saint-Étienne’s defence leaves a lot to be desired.

As one of the best-placed teams this year, the hosts will probably secure a comfortable victory this Saturday. This will help protect their Champions League qualification, though climbing up to first place seems increasingly unlikely with each passing week.

Saint-Étienne are on their way to avoid relegation this year, but they’re not out of the woods yet. They’re 18th in the standings, but the difficult match at Rennes might end up with them dropping further down.

This is the second time we’re seeing these two sides clash this season. The first game went Rennes’s way, albeit with a difference of only one goal. Still, such a record makes it easy to see why they’re the favourites this time around.

This match is notable for the number of injuries reported prior by both sides. On one hand, the hosts will have to make do without Alfred Gomis, Jeremy Doku, Loic Bade, K. Sulemana. On the other, the visitors will not be able to count on Saidou Sow, Aimen Moueffek, Joris Gnagnon, Enzo Crivelli. Both are in a precarious state, but you should take the importance of these players to the respective strategies before putting down a stake.

An Over 3.5 Goals wager here can net you considerably better results than the Over 2.5 counterpart, and the probability of winning remains almost as strong. The 2.55 odds offered at 10Bet are great for value, too.
