Rennes vs Reims Prediction & Betting Tips (21 February)

Stade Rennais has just known his first defeat since taking office by Habib Beye, who has arrived to replace Jorge Sampaoli who will have spent less than three months on the bench. After success for his first outings at the head of the Red and Black, then in front of Strasbourg 1-0 and Saint-Etienne 0-2, his players fell Sunday on their lawn against Lille 0-2. The contribution of 6 points preceding this disappointment, however, allowed Rennais to no longer be barrage and, even better, to move away from the relegation. The club resident at Roazhon Park is 13th with a 5 -point room for maneuver on the virtual barragist.  Reims has also changed a coach in recent weeks. Luka Elsner was dismissed and his former deputy Samba Diawara took over.

However, the Champagne club has not yet reacted in the league.
