Rennes vs Saint-Etienne-Free Predictions and Betting Tips by Football Whispers
Rennes won 5-nil in the reverse leg and it begs the question, can they bag six points from Saint-Etienne this season? Our best two predictions for this Ligue 2 match are:
Rennes to win both halves @69/100 (1.69)
Rennes should win the second leg too, and it is because the hosts are in their best form compared to Etienne. While Saint-Etienne sits on the edge of relegation zone, the visitors have slacked in their quest to survive the drop. Etienne’s biggest problem is poor defending that has cost them three of the last five games and failed to keep a clean sheet within that duration. The visitors leaked 17 goals in the last five games while Rennes conceded 8 goals in as many run of games.
Over 2.5 @ 57/100 (1.57)
Given that both teams are struggling defensively, the possibility of this game yielding more than two goals is very high. Rennes has only one clean sheet from the last five while Saint-Etienne has none. Moreover, six of the last seven encounters between Rennes and Etienne had more than two goals at full-time.
