Rennes vs Toulouse Prediction & Betting Tips (13 April)

Eager to play in Europe again next year, Stade Rennais finds itself with its back against the wall and it no longer really has the right to make mistakes anymore. Because 6 days from the end of this 2023-2024 financial year, the Breton club is only in 9th place in the ranking with a delay of 4 units on the 6th place potentially qualifying for the Conference League. In good shape at the start of 2024, Julien Stéphan's men, on the other hand, have had much more difficulty since the return of the last international break. Beaten in Strasbourg 2-0, they were unable to avoid another defeat at the hands of Monaco 1-0 last weekend. And in the meantime, the Rouge et Noir had been dominated by PSG in the semi-final of the Coupe de France 1-0.

On the other side of the median, Toulouse advanced with the feeling of almost accomplished duty. In search of a rather comfortable support this year, the TFC is in 11th place in the ranking and it has a fairly comfortable mattress of 7 units on the first relegation and it would therefore take a real catastrophe for this team not to be able to stay in the elite next year. Since their last setback suffered against Lyon before the international break 2-3, the Violets have moved forward by winning against Clermont 0-3. And last week, they had to be satisfied with a 0-0 draw against Strasbourg.

Already absent in recent weeks, the young full-back Nagida will not set foot on the pitch until next season. He should be the only one absent from Rennes with striker Martin Terrier (6 goals in 2024) who was sent off against AS Monaco last weekend and will therefore be suspended. Despite this, the Bretons maintain a rather solid squad including the excellent Bourigeaud (7 goals, 2 assists), the center forward Kalimuendo (6 goals), the talented Ludovic Blas (4 goals) and Désiré Doué (3 goals) and the Algerian Gouiri (5 goals) who are all applying for a place in the 11 this Saturday evening. Both stuck in the infirmary, the starting goalkeeper Desler and the Finn Skyttä should not make the trip to Roazhon Park.

At the same time, the captain of this team Vincent Sierro (6 goals) will be suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards. On the other hand, replacement striker Cissoko could make his return after being ill last weekend. At the head of the Toulouse offensive sector, we should find the formidable Dutch striker Dallinga who has failed 11 times this season in the league.
