LiontipsSaint-Etienne — Rennes. Forecast and bets for the French Championship match
Command Analysis
Current form
With the arrival of Eirik Horneland, Saint-Etienne has significantly improved its game in all respects. The pressure of the "greens" became more active, and, as a result, they began to score goals more often. In three of the last five rounds, the hosts were able to take points in the national championship and are now two points behind their upcoming opponent, who is in the safe zone. Saint-Etienne itself settled down after 20 rounds played in the play-off zone. There is still time to fix the situation, and, of course, the fans and the club's management have high hopes for the coach and hope that the team's game will only change. The main thing is not to slow down.
Disqualifications and injuries
Old, Wadji, Muffek were injured, and Batubinskika was disqualified.
Interesting betting trends
- Saint-Etienne has not lost at home this year.
- In the last nine matches, the hosts have conceded
Approximate composition: Larsonnier–Appiah, Abdelhamid, Nadeh, Petro–Mouton, Equa, Bouchouari–Cardona, Stassen, Davitashvili.
Current form
In the last round, Rennes was able to beat Strasbourg on its own field with a minimum score of 1-0. This victory allowed the club to leave the play-off zone, just ahead of the upcoming opponent by two points. In order to stay in a safe place, it is absolutely impossible to lose in the upcoming match, and the guests understand this perfectly well, but understanding alone is not enough to achieve a positive result.
On November 30, the team was led by Habib Biye, and the club won its first match on its own field. The indicator is gorgeous. Now it will be interesting to see how it will be possible to play away from a direct competitor for the preservation of registration in Ligue 1.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alemdar, Seydoux are injured, and Khateebour is disqualified.
Interesting betting trends
- Rennes have lost their last three matches on the road.
- Rennes have been able to score in four of their last five away games.
Approximate line–up: Samba – Roux, Wu, Brassier – Assignon, Matusiva, James, Truffer - Blah, Furuhashi – Kalimuendo Muinga.

1.72Bet Saint-Etienne will score in the first half
In the last two games, Saint-Etienne scored before the break.
2.70Tip and bets
Rennes are playing terribly on the road. For the completed part of the championship, the Red-Blacks scored only one point away, the worst result in the league. Saint-Etienne is gaining the main points in the national championship on its own field. Plus, I haven't lost to an upcoming opponent in front of local fans in eight of the last ten matches. We believe it will not fail this time either.
It is unlikely that Habib Biye will be able to radically change the team's game in one week of being head coach of Rennes in order to start winning on the road with a team that is not inferior in terms of the game.
Our forecast is that Saint-Etienne will not lose with a coefficient of 1.70
Betting on the outcome
Rennes does not play indoor football. This is confirmed by the fact that in four out of five matches in 2025, the guests both scored and conceded. Saint-Etienne has already played two matches in front of local fans in the new year, and in these matches they also managed to score and concede. Based on this, we conclude that there will be no zeros on the scoreboard after the final whistle.
Our forecast is that both will score. This bet is offered for 1.80
Betting on corners
Judging by the fact that the game should be open, there is a high probability that the teams will be pleased with plentiful serves from the corner flag. We'll place another bet on the riding total in the corners.
Our forecast is a total of more than 8.5 corners with a coefficient of 1.72
