Rennes vs Brest Prediction & Betting Tips (28 April)

European in recent years, Stade Rennais has no guarantee of being able to defend its chances outside France next year. The club from the Breton capital has in fact lost far too many points during the first part of the season to hope to play in the top 5 and only 7th place, potentially qualifying for the Conference League, could allow it not to be deprived of Europe next season. In difficulty in recent weeks, the Rouge et Noir had suffered 3 defeats in a row against Strasbourg 2-0, Monaco 1-0 and Toulouse 1-2 before finally moving forward at the best time to win the derby against rival Nantes 0-3 to regain 7th place. Opposite, Stade Brestois will remain, whatever happens, as the major satisfaction of this 2023-2024 Ligue 1 season.

Never expected as a candidate for the podium at the start of the season, the Finistère club has nevertheless occupied a place for a very long time on the box this year to the point of dreaming of the Champions League, which would be a great first for him. But be careful not to fall for Eric Roy's men for whom things no longer seem to be going in the right direction in recent weeks. Because since their last 2 successes against Lorient 0-1 and Metz 4-3, they have suffered 2 defeats with potentially serious consequences against Lyon 4-3 and Monaco 0-2, not really helped each time by the refereeing decisions.

At the moment, Stade Rennais just has to deal with the absence of full-backs Nagida and Truffert. On the other hand, the often starting right side Seidu is back after being suspended. Otherwise Julien Stéphan will be able to rely on a fairly large group where we find the excellent Bourigeaud (8 goals, 2 assists), the center forward Kalimuendo (7 goals), the talented Ludovic Blas (4 goals) and Désiré Doué (4 goals, 4 assists), the very good Terrier (6 goals) and the Algerian Gouiri (6 goals). Suspended last weekend for the Monaco reception, the boss of this team, Pierre Lees-Melou, will be back this week.

Consequently, Breton coach Eric Roy could just be deprived of senior defender Brassier who was already out last week. As for the forces present, we will obviously find the former Rennais Romain Del Castillo (8 goals, 7 assists) who is the best offensive element of this formation. Striker Satriano (4 goals), and the solid Camara (5 goals), Doumbia (6 goals), Mounié (5 goals) and Magnetti could also appear in the 11 of this formation.
