LiontipsTottenham vs Rennes. Prediction and Betting Tips for Europa Conference League 2021-22 (December 9, 2021).
Command Analysis
Tottenham were the clear favourites in their Conference League group, but they failed to secure a ticket to the playoffs in the first five rounds. The Spurs are currently 2nd with 7 points, and will progress to the next round only if Vitesse don't collect more points in the other game, while Tottenham keep a better goal difference. In the last round, Tottenham suffered a surprising defeat to Mura (1:2), and we are not convinced that the Londoners have enough firepower left for this tournament.
In the English Premier League, Tottenham are 5th in the standings with 25 points from 14 games.
Rennes are unbeaten in the Conference League and have secured the first-line finish. In their first fixture, Rennes drew with Tottenham (2:2) at home, and in the previous game, they shared points with Vitesse (3:3). They won the other 3 matches and have earned 11 points.
Rennes are enjoying a good season in Ligue 1. They are 2nd in the table, and in the last rounds they lost to Lille (1:2) before thrashing Saint-Etienne (5:0).
Trends
Tottenham scored at least 3 goals in all their Conference League home games.
Rennes lost the last 2 away games with this score.
Tottenham did not concede in the last 2 games.
Tip and bets
The hosts need this victory more than the French team. The Spurs risk ending their European campaign today if they fail to collect maximum points, but we think they will pull themselves together. We doubt that Rennes will put all their heart into this match, since they are already qualified.
Our prediction - Tottenham to win
We do not expect a large number of goals in this fixture. The hosts would be happy with a narrow win, and the French side will likely focus on more important domestic affairs.
Second bet - total under 2.5 games
