Rennes - Strasbourg predictions

Strasbourg will give Rennes a run for their money and there is no doubt about it. However, at 2.34 odds on home win in this match, we still recommend backing the hosts.

The visitors are conscious of the challenge before them. To come out on top against Rennes on their home field would be a noteworthy accomplishment, and it is never an easy task.

It’s fair to say Rennes demonstrated their character in the last Ligue 1 clash. They held it level at the break and after the full 90 minutes against a tough rival and managed to record an important draw (Toulouse).

Strasbourg had a lot going for them as they went into their previous Ligue 1 game, including a home-field advantage and largely favourable betting odds. The first half unexpectedly ended in a tie, but a series of goals in the late game brought them a decisive 3:0 home victory.

With 6 concessions over the last 3 matches, Rennes will definitely have to make some improvements in their defensive line.

Strasbourg are performing rather sub-par whenever they play away. For instance, they have more than 5 conceded goals spread over their most recent 3 away games.

The hosts can boast a total of 12 points earned so far, which places them rather low in the standings at 11th. Earning 3 points this Sunday will go a long way in improving that, though it won’t be easy.

Strasbourg have already placed themselves as one of the title challengers this year. They’re near the top of the table with 19 points, just 2 behind the top-placed team. Of course, it’s too early to make concrete predictions, but they’re off to a good start despite the away match they’re heading into.

The $ODDS odds on a home win are hard to trust with last season’s harsh defeat still fresh in our memories. The fact that Strasbourg won that clash was a surprise in its own right – the goal difference was even less expected.

Fortunately, both teams will have a complete lineup this Sunday, with no players out due to injury or suspension.

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 1.68 if you use the Pncl sportsbook.
