Command Analysis
Rennes
Current form
The Bretons competed in the Europa League last week and couldn't handle Juventus in Italy. The match ended in a 2-2 draw. After the first half, the French won 2-1 and looked no worse than the Turin club, but they couldn't hold the advantage and conceded the second goal from the penalty spot. Rennes has five points in the piggy bank after three rounds in LE, has not lost a single match and occupies the intermediate 13th place in the main stage.
At this stage of the Ligue 1, Frank Eze's team is in sixth place in the standings with 13 points. The team had a shootout with Paris in the last round and was defeated with a score of 3:4. It should be noted that the red and black fought back three times, and the top scorer of the French championship, Lepol Esteban (seven goals) scored a hat-trick, converting three penalties.
Disqualifications and injuries
There are no problems with the composition.
Interesting betting trends
Rennes has earned 1.4 yellow cards in the last five Ligue 1 games.
The Bretons have scored two or more goals in their last three meetings.
The approximate line–up: Lemaitre - Frankowski, Cresswell, Ait Boudlal, Merlin–Thomasson, Rongier, Szymanski – Blah, Lepol, Al-Tamari.
Strasbourg
Current form
Hugo Oliveira's men are not playing well at this stage and cannot win four consecutive matches (three defeats and one draw). The team takes 14th place, the gap from the danger zone is minimal - one point. The Alsatians won only two victories, but there were already four defeats in one world war. The performance is not bad, with 12 goals scored, but the defensive problem is 15 goals conceded.
In the last round, Strasbourg played against PSG and could not cope with the best club in France. The Alsatians opened the scoring in the 17th minute and led until the 77th minute. However, the club conceded three times and lost 1-3 in the end. Earlier, the blue and white lost to Nice (1:2), and before that they couldn't cope with Paris.
Disqualifications and injuries
Panicelli will miss the game due to injury.
Interesting betting trends
In the last three face-to-face meetings, Strasbourg lost to Rennes.
Strasbourg has only received one yellow card in the first half in the last five games.
After the defeat by Paris and the draw with Juventus in the Europa League, the wards of Frank Eze have no right to make mistakes and intend to rehabilitate themselves in the game with Strasbourg, who caught the crisis. The guests have slowed down and are losing in three rounds in a row. If you look at the statistics, it immediately becomes clear that Rennes is the clear favorite, and the difference in class between the opponents is very large. The Red-Blacks have beaten the Burgundians in three matches in a row, and the home field factor is on their side. We believe that it will not be difficult for the home team to beat the opponent and earn three points.
Prediction – Rennes wins with a coefficient of 1.77
Frank Eze's players have been pleasing football fans with their high performance in their games lately. Since the game against Auxerre (4-1), less than three goals have not been recorded in Rennes games. It should be noted that Strasbourg also plays attacking football and in the last four out of five matches a high total was recorded. We believe that the scoring extravaganza at Roazon Park will take place today.
The betting tip is a total of more than three goals with a coefficient of 1.65
The bet on the corners
Rennes will probably spend a lot of time at the opponent's goal, but at the same time, Strasbourg will try to respond. In the last four games of the red-blacks, at least 10 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 9.5 with a coefficient of 1.80
