Free Predictions for Rennes vs Angers

Losing five times on the bounce has left Angers grappling with defensive challenges. The visitors make this trip to Rennes with even more worry after a dismal perform the last time out when they gifted Lens a goal in a 2-1 defeat. The question is will they get all points in this matchup like they did in the reverse game? Our best picks for Rennes vs Angers are as follows:
Rennes to win first-half @ 9/10 (1.90)
Rennes should be the team to score an early goal in this game and even win the first half. Home advantage is only one way of looking at it. The hosts have won all their last four home games. The ability to score goals for Rennes has been mostly on home soil where they rank second overall with 31 home goals and a strong defence that has leaked only goals in 13 home matches.
Rennes to get revenge in second leg @ 1/2 (1.50)
Losing the reverse game set back Rennes three points early in the season. However, with the second-best home run in the league and fourth-best overall, we don’t see how the hosts will fail to serve revenge on Angers. The visitors may have won the reverse match but their recent form of five defeats in a row could only get worse in this trip.

Rennes bs Angers Preview, Team News and Lineups
A lot is at stake for Angers as they make this trip to Rennes. On the back of their minds, a five-match losing streak and another loss on Sunday could edge Gerald Baticle closer to the chopping board. Even though the visiting head coach boasts 1 win over his matchday opponent Bruno Genesio in the only meeting between the two coaches, Baticle has increasingly come under pressure after some disappointing results on the road.
Rennes is the second-best home team and is within UCL places. Winning this game means they could dislodge Nice from third place given that the hosts boast of a commanding goal-difference. A strong lineup is expected on both sides as predicted below.
Rennes predicted lineup: Gomis, Traore, Omari, Meling, Aguerd, Martin, Santamaria, Majer, Bourigeaud, Terrier and Laborde.
Angers predicted lineup: Petkovic, Mendy, Traore, Ebosse, Doumbia, Fulgini, Mangani, Bentaleb, Ninga, Lage and Boufal.
