Rennes to Win
Angers is second from bottom with only two wins, but only one at home against out-of-form Montpellier. The host is in the midst of a three-game losing streak, while Rennes won three matches in a row. Last season, teams split their games, and each won once. However, with increasing problems for Angers, especially defending-wise, things are not looking positive for the hosts.
Over 2.5 Goals
Rennes has been terrific lately at home, making sure they keep up the pressure for Champions League places. However, their away form could be a lot better, they only have one win with a goal difference of 7-6. Angers has conceded 14 goals at home alone, scoring seven. They are at the top of the league when it comes to games with more than two goals with a 9-2 mark. Rennes is at 7-4 in favor of ‘over' matches.

Rennes is looking to prolong a winning streak
Angers lost three games in a row after winning two straight, and their situation at the bottom of the league is becoming increasingly frustrating. Their defense needs reorganization, they allow too many goals, especially when playing at home. Their home goal difference of 7-14 says a lot. There are positives from the fact that their next opponent is Rennes. Even though the visitors are going to be favorites, Angers beat Rennes last season at home by 2-0, and Rennes only has a single away win this season, so it is obvious they are struggling a bit when playing away from their fans.
Angers predicted 11: Fofana, Valery, Hountondji, Amadou, Mendy, Doumbia, Hunou, Bentaleb, Abdelli, Sima, Boufal.
Rennes is trying to put their frustrations aside playing away from home and focus to win only their second game as visitors. They are currently fifth in the league table which is something they are used to the last couple of seasons. They are in the middle of a three-game winning streak with their form getting better each match. They have the second-best attack in Ligue 1 with 23 goals, with only PSG better efficiency-wise. Rennes is only five points away from second-placed Lorient, and keeping pressure for that coveted position is a prerogative for manager Bruno Genesio.
Rennes predicted 11: Mandanda, Truffert, Theate, Wooh, Assignon, Terrier, Tait, Xeka, Bourigeaud, Gouiri, Kalimuendo.
