Auxerre emerged from the crisis and won the French Championship in two games in a row. Will the Burgundians be able to cope with the pressure and what bets should they pay attention to in the match? You will find out the answer in our betting tip
Command Analysis
Rennes
Current form
At the start of the new season, the Bretons are fighting at the top of the standings and currently occupy fifth place with 10 points in the asset. The team got off to a strong start, managed to score three wins and lost and drew one game apiece. The wards of Frank Eze suffered a crushing defeat from Lyon in the last round. The Red-Blacks conceded two goals in each half, but had more control of the ball and scored 13 shots on the opponent's goal. However, it was just unlucky. Earlier, Rennes beat Marseille with a minimum score (1-0).
In the Europa League, the Bretons started in Austria, but could not beat the Storm. The match ended in a goalless draw, although the opponents scored once each. However, the referee canceled the goal of the Burgundians due to a hand game, and the Austrians recorded an offside.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
Rennes have provided more than four corners in 8 of the last 10 home matches in Ligue 1.
In three of the last five meetings, the Burgundians scored two or more goals.
Auxerre emerged from the crisis and, after three defeats in the first three rounds, won two in a row. First, the team beat Nice 1-0 with a minimum score, and then they were able to cope with Brest. In the game against the Bretons, the Burgundians were the first to miss, but they were able to turn the tide of the meeting and won a strong-willed victory 2:1, thanks to an own goal in the 83rd minute. It should be noted that the problems in defense have not gone away and 12 goals have already been conceded – the worst figure in Ligue 1. Will Still's team has six points and is in ninth place in the standings, but the gap from the opponents from the danger zone is minimal – two points.
Disqualifications and injuries
Diousse, Oko and Senaya will miss the game due to injuries.
Interesting betting trends
The Burgundians have been conceding an average of 2.4 goals since the start of the season.
Auxerre have received more than 1.5 yellow cards in 9 of the last 10 away matches.
Frank Eze's team will not make a mistake and will not lose points with a weaker opponent. Nothing is clear in the fight for European cups, and it is not recommended to lose at the start of the championship to the red-blacks. If you look at the statistics, it will immediately become clear that Rennes is a clear favorite, and the difference in class is very large. Since the start of the championship, Auxerre has lost in three of the last five meetings with a difference of two or more goals, the team's defense is the worst in Ligue 1. We believe that it will not be difficult for the home team to get the better of the Burgundians with a difference of several goals.
Prediction – Rennes wins with a handicap (-1.5) of the ball with a coefficient of 2.15
The hosts will surely strive to win and will seize the initiative from the very first minutes of the meeting. Since the start of the championship, Rennes has been playing attacking football, and matches often turn out to be productive – three of the last five red-black games have been scoring. The Bretons also have great players in attack, outperforming their opponent, who scored three goals from Lyon in the last away game. We believe that it's worth counting on a scoring extravaganza.
The betting tip is a total of more than 3.5 goals with a coefficient of 2.20
Betting on corners
Rennes will play from a position of strength and will probably spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal, but Auxerre will try to respond. In the last three games of the red-blacks, at least 11 corner kicks were served out of five, which we are waiting for today.
The betting tip is that the total number of corners is more than 10.5 with a coefficient of 1.92
