Rennes vs Brest: French Championship match betting tip
Rennes have lost all matches so far in 2025, and they have already played three. Will they be lucky enough to break the losing streak on January 18 in the 18th round of Ligue 1 against Brest? The answer is in our betting tip. What is the best choice for a bet?
Command Analysis
Rennes
FranceCurrent form
Rennes has disappointed both fans and the club management in the new year. Three defeats in three opening games of 2025 were absolutely unexpected, especially considering that such high-level players as goalkeeper Brice Samba and midfielder Seko Fofana have appeared in the team. A few days ago, Jorge Sampaoli charges lost 0:1 to Troyes in the French Cup, so now they can fully focus on successful performances in the national championship and start to rise from the bottom of the standings, because at the moment the team is in 14th place and is only one point ahead of Saint-Etienne from the play-off zone.
Disqualifications and injuries
Seydou and Alemdar will not play in the upcoming match due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Rennes have lost their last three matches
- The hosts have conceded in the last four games
Tentative line-up: Samba - Assignon, Hatebourg, Estigor, Vu, Truffer - Bla, James, Matusiwa, Fofana - Kalimuendo Muinga.
Brest
FranceCurrent form
If we compare Brest game form with the upcoming opponent, it is ideal. In five of the last six games, the guests of the upcoming match won, and one defeat was from Angers (0:2), which, as we believe, occurred due to underestimation of the opponent. After this fiasco, Eric Roy charges won over Lyon and Nantes with the same score of 2:1, thereby confirming that the club does not have any problems, which they began to talk about just after the unsuccessful game with Angers.
Disqualifications and injuries
Koulibaly and Lokomotiv will not be able to help the team gain points due to injuries.
Interesting trends for betting
- Brest managed to win five of the last six matches
- The visitors have conceded in seven of their last eight away matches
Estimated line-up: Bizot - Lala, N'Diaye, Chardonnet, Haidara - Magnetti, Fernandez, Camara - Doumbia, Ajorque, Sima.

2.35Tip and bets
Rennes have failed to keep a clean sheet in four of their last matches, while Brest have failed to keep a clean sheet in five of their last six away matches. The teams played each other twice last year, and there were two clean sheets. Based on this, as well as the clubs' current form, we can conclude that the rivals will be able to upset each other at least once.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.92
Bet on the outcome
The odds are odds on the away team winning the upcoming match. Bookmakers firmly believe that Rennes will win the match, despite the fact that the hosts lost in the last match in the French Cup to Troyes, which is in Ligue 2, and Brest, in turn, won the last two matches with the same score 2:1 against Nantes and Lyon. We believe that the away team will at least not lose in the upcoming match.
Our prediction is that Brest will not lose with a coefficient of 1.78
Bet on corners
Rennes average 5.1 corners per match, while Brest average 3.8. The home team has a better rate, so we'll bet on their corner victory again.
Our prediction: Rennes will take more corners at 1.80
