A 1-0 away victory7 after three consecutive losses was a relief for nineth-placed Montpellier. But can the host retain their place in the top half of the table after this game? Read on for our detailed predictions and analysis below.
BTTS @ 3/4 (1.75)
We expect both teams to find the net on matchday. Both teams have had defensive challenges and with no resolution forthcoming even after the January transfer window, our tipsters have settled on this market based on how both teams performed in recent games. For example, Montpellier lost five of their last seven games and failed to keep a clean sheet within that duration. On the other hand, Rennes lost four games in as much previous outings. The visitors boast only two clean sheets within that run.
Rennes to score first @ 57/100 (1.57)
Rennes has looked better in front of goal compared to Montpellier. With that, we are backing the visitors to find the net first in this trip to Montpellier. The visitors have scored 47 goals in 25 games compared to Montpellier’s 39 goals in as many games.
