Tip and bets
We are not expecting a miracle from the hosts in this match - this season is a disaster for them and only the arrival of new players during the winter transfer window can help the team to avoid relegation. Renneslooks great and they will try to get back to the 2nd position, which they lost after a defeat in the previous round. We are expecting a success from the visitors due to their higher class and motivation.
Our prediction - Rennes to win
We are not expecting many goals in this match. Visitors will just park the bus in an attempt to contain the opponent, while visitors will be happy with a narrow victory.
Our second bet is on total under 2,5 goals
