Head-to-head statistics Rennes - Nantes
Stade Rennes Team Overview
⚫ Rennes have been a pleasant surprise this season, particularly as the championship draws to a close. Currently, Franck Haise's squad sits in fifth place on the league table, just one point shy of the top three. This makes their upcoming match against one of the league's underdogs crucial for the "Red and Blacks."
🔴 Rennes have celebrated victories in their last three fixtures, defeating Brest (4-3), Angers (2-1), and Strasbourg (3-0) in succession. The team's impressive scoring ability deserves special mention, particularly forward Esteban Lepaul, who leads the Ligue 1 scoring charts with 17 goals and 4 assists.

Nantes Team Overview
🟢 Nantes are entering a crucial phase in the league, facing their last chance to secure their spot in the top division. They trail by five points from the playoff position, which is quite significant given their winless streak over the past two months under Vahid Halilhodžić's guidance.
🟡 In the rescheduled midweek league match, Nantes suffered a heavy defeat away to PSG (0-3). The "Canaries" stood no chance in a game where the Parisians were highly motivated. Prior to this, Halilhodžić's side drew three consecutive matches, earning just three points, which did little to improve their standing in the table.

Latest news
Stade Rennes
❌ Rennes face uncertainty over the availability of two players: defender Przemysław Frankowski and forward Arnaud Norden. Both recently picked up injuries but have since recovered and are ready to return to action. However, Lucas Rozier remains sidelined, as he has been out for a while and is still far from full recovery.
Nantes
❌ Nantes face a significant setback ahead of their clash with Rennes as midfielder Francis Coquelin is sidelined due to injury, having already missed the team's previous game. Fabien Santonze will also be absent; initially suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards, he is now out indefinitely with an injury. Recovering from injuries, Tillel Tati and Alexis Mirbach are also confirmed to miss the match.
🟨 Yellow Card Prediction
The referee assigned for the upcoming match is Benoit Bastien. Over a span of 100 matches, he averages 3.81 yellow cards per game, with 25 fouls. In Ligue 1, the yellow card statistics are as follows: Rennes average 1.8 per game, while Nantes average 2. Both teams have not been frequently cautioned this season, so we suggest betting on under 4.5 total yellow cards.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Rennes' individual total in Ligue 1 averages 1.7 goals per match, while Nantes have a significantly lower average of 0.8. However, matches involving these teams tend to be high-scoring: the hosts average 3.1 goals, and the visitors 2.5. Considering this data, we recommend betting on over 2.5 total goals.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In recent Ligue 1 matches, Rennes average 5.8 corners per game, compared to Nantes' 3.5. It's clear that Franck Haise's side earns more set pieces from the corner than their opponents, so we suggest betting on Rennes to win the corner count.
Editor's Prediction
We have a clash between teams from opposite ends of the league table. Recent performances speak volumes, with Rennes being the clear favorite here, as confirmed by their head-to-head statistics. We suggest betting on a Rennes win with a -1 handicap, as we believe the "Red and Blacks" will dominate at home, with an expected scoreline of 3-0.
