Rennes - Toulouse predictions

With bookies pricing a home win at 1.94, it’s clear the match may yet go either way. The hosts have a distinct advantage, of course, but both a draw and an away win are quite possible outcomes.

It would be a minor miracle for Toulouse to win at Rennes, and they’re likely aware of that. Though risky, such an outcome could bring solid profits thanks to the 4.41 price on most online sportsbooks.

Rennes will be looking to put the previous away defeat in the Ligue 1 (1:0) as soon as possible. They were trailing at the halftime mark and never got to put their rivals in danger for the whole 90 minutes.

The away team failed to leverage the home-field advantage of their previous Ligue 1 game and win the bout, finishing 0:0 after a drawn-out stalemate. A draw was indeed one of the more likely scenarios, but their home supporters were hoping that they would be able to snag 3 points.

Rennes’s attackers don’t seem to need a home-field advantage when it comes to scoring. With 6 goals in their last three away games, it’s hard to find issues with their attacking play.

Going into round 29, Rennes are three places outside the European spots. They still have a shot at securing international football next season, but time is quickly running out.

Neither team has been able to secure a conclusive finish in this matchup throughout the season. They clashed more than once in the past year and recorded several draws despite Rennes being seen as the favourites.

Fortunately, both teams will be able to give their all this Saturday. Neither squad has been affected by injuries or suspensions, allowing the coaches to work with all the tools at their disposal.

A Home Win at the odds of 1.94 is the most likely outcome here with decent value and a strong probability of success. This doesn’t seem like a good opportunity to take unnecessary risks.
