Rennes vs Nantes Prediction & Betting Tips (18 April)

Defeated by Auxerre 0-1 two weeks ago, Stade Rennais 11th has just found the way to victory, on a river score, on the lawn of Le Havre 1-5. While 15 points are still to be taken, it is ahead of the virtual barragist of 8 lengths. A good omen before traveling in particular in Lyon and Marseille on the remaining days. The Red and Black have been on the right track since Habib Beye was inducted a coach at the start of the year, to succeed Jorge Sampaoli. They straightened up in the rankings but are too far from European places to aim higher than the middle of the table.

  The Nantes of Antoine Kombouaré find the field two weeks after their victory in Nice 1-2, their meeting against PSG having been postponed due to the quarter-final of the Champions of Parisians. In Nice, the Canaries stopped a series of 3 defeats on the move and consolidated their 13th place, with a 3-point room for maneuver on the virtual barragist, Le Havre, against whom they came to fall 3-2. Before surprising Nice, they had already surprised a candidate for Europe, Lille 1-0, before the international break.

Rennes arises for a new meeting without the SEIDU defender, unavailable for several months and whose return is not expected at the end of the exercise. The offensive Blas with 6 achievements and 8 assists in Ligue 1 should declare for a 5th match in a row. The Rennes festival in Le Havre has highlighted Kalimuendo. The striker, top scorer of the club, scored a 14th realization in the championship and issued 2 offerings. The most active club on the transfer window this winter, Rennes could again rely on its recruits Jacquet, Rouault and Brassier in defense. On the Nantes side, the defensive framework Castelletto has its return of suspension compared to the last match.

Other important players are however in doubt. This is the case of Zezé, still in defense, which continues his work of recovery and chirivella and Coquelin circles, all absent in Nice. The experienced Centonze, not spared from injuries, could remain unavailable. Simon (7 goals, 9 assists) and Abline (8 achievements) are the most decisive Nantes. They each marked in Nice to allow the club to stay outside the red zone.
