Rennes to Win
Rennes is back in a two-game per week rhythm after the international break, but the importance of domestic battles is always real, especially as the club's bosses feel like they can achieve something great this season. It is going to be only three days between their Europa League match against Dynamo Kyiv and a Ligue 1 clash versus Nantes. The positive aspect of it is that both games will be played at Rennes, so no traveling will be involved. Rennes is undefeated in their last five Ligue 1 matches, while Nantes won only once in the same period. They are on a four-match winless streak. Last season both teams won on their home turf.
Under 2.5 Goals
Even though Rennes is thriving offensively, their team defense is the key to their success. They allowed only nine goals this season while Nantes has the same number, but only on the scoring side of things. It is interesting to note that in their last eight Ligue 1 matches, only two ended with more than two goals. For the season, after nine rounds both teams have 5-4 marks when it comes to matches with over 2.5 goals.

Squad depth is the key for Rennes
Rennes has high aspirations this season, and for the coach Bruno Genesio, it's important to find players who can adapt to a difficult period with so many games that have to be played. Rennes' ambitions will demand professionalism and dedication no matter how many games they have to play. Rennes finished last season in fourth place, but they feel like they can take a step forward and fight for the Champions League position.
Rennes' possible lineup: Mandanda, Traore, Rodon, Theate, Truffert, Majer, Ugochukwu, Tait, Terrier, Gouiri, Kalimuendo.
Nantes is struggling in different aspects of their game, with only one win in nine matches, things are difficult for manager Antoine Kombouare who is on an expiring contract and is fighting for his job. But, the team is not performing well, especially when it comes to their attack line which is shooting without real precision throughout the season. Nantes is just above the relegation zone, and with so many teams in the danger zone, they need to provide some positive results soon.
Nantes's possible lineup: Lafont, Appiah, Castelletto, Girotto, Pallois, Merlin, Guessand, Sissoko, Chirivella, Simon, Ganago.
Team News:
Rennes: Kamal-Deen Sulemana, Baptiste Santamaria, and Warmed Omari are injured.
Nantes: Fabio da Silva and Fabien Centonze are out with injuries.
