Rennes vs Nice prediction: Hard-fought draw on the cards
Key stats
- Rennes are unbeaten in Ligue 1 in six straight games (D5, W1)
- Les Rennais are undefeated at home this league term (W2, D2).
- Nice are yet to win away from home this season across all competitions.
- Les Aiglons are without a clean sheet in 13 consecutive away league games.
Correct score prediction: Rennes 1-1 Nice
Following their fourth consecutive draw – their fifth in six Ligue 1 games – Rennes are desperate to record a victory and extend their unbeaten run to seven on the trot. Habib Beye’s side have been impressive on home turf, losing none and scoring seven of their 11 goals at the Roazhon Park.
In contrast, Franck Haise’s side are one of just two teams, alongside Paris FC, yet to keep a clean sheet this league campaign. Their season so far has been a mixed bag across all competitions, most recently losing 2-1 o Celta Vigo in the UEFA Europa League.
Rennes’s home advantage and Nice’s individual quality should see this encounter play out as a closely-fought draw.
