Rennes vs Auxerre prediction: Could they cancel each other out?
Key stats
- Rennes have won three of their last five games to-nil.
- Auxerre boast the same record, and have picked up an extra point over that time.
- Nine goals have been scored across the last three H2Hs.
Correct score prediction: Rennes 1-1 Auxerre
Perhaps predicting Both Teams To Score (BTTS) is ambitious given their high share of clean sheets, and the fact that both sides have not scored in each of the three previous H2Hs. However, given their close proximity in the table, Rennes and Auxerre may end up cancelling each other out in a tight affair.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Rennes odds-on favourites
- HOME: 17/20 (1.59) – 63.0%
- DRAW: 13/5 (3.60) – 27.8%
- AWAY: 16/5 (4.20) – 23.8%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Rennes are actually odds-on favourites to take all three points at home, according to the implied probabilities. A draw is the next favoured result, slightly above an Auxerre away victory.

Player to watch: Florian Aye
Florian Aye has scored in each of his last two appearances from the substitutes bench for Auxerre, which could earn him a rare start against Rennes. Indeed, the French forward has only made a total of four starts in Ligue 1 so far in the 2024/25 campaign, and 15 appearances from the bench.
