Strasbourg - Rennes predictions

Though Strasbourg definitely have a shot at winning this match, they’ll need to work for it. Rennes are somewhat stronger, but the home-field advantage may be what the hosts need to shift the balance in their favour.

No outcome of this match would catch us by surprise. It’s a rarely fair matchup, though that’s not always good for betting. Currently, though, Rennes are somewhat more likely to triumph with betting odds of 2.35 on them winning.

The hosts are lacking no confidence following their impressive showing in the last round. After a level first half, Strasbourg rose to the occasion in the second half and recorded a huge away win (1:3) and will be looking to keep the moment going.

Rennes’s previous Ligue 1 match saw them play top of their game. They were considered somewhat weaker than their opponents Olympique Marseille, so the lead in the first half was unexpected. Rennes then proceeded to decisively win the match 2:0.

The hosts’ fans are somewhat disappointed at them, given the lacklustre defensive performances they’ve seen recently. Strasbourg conceded more than 5 times over the previous 3 games played at Stade de la Meinau.

We should point out that Rennes scored more than 5 goals over the course of their previous 3 home games. They’re visitors this time around, but it’s still worth noting for the benefit of bets like Over 5 Goals.

If Rennes plan to hop onto the European bandwagon now would the optimal time to earn vital points. As the season heads into the final stretch, the visitors have a tough nut to crack in Stade de la Meinau. They are not without chances, however, and we are surely in for an exciting match this Sunday.

The most recent result from these two teams recorded is from earlier in the season when the teams clashed. It ended in a draw, which is worse news for Rennes because they are largely considered the stronger team.

The hosts weren’t considered likely to win either way, but they are in a slightly worse position now. Ismael Doukoure, Dion Moise Sahi, Loubadhe Abakar Sylla have all been injured recently, leaving the team’s coach with a narrower range of options.

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.
