Nantes will be looking to keep their survival hopes in the French top flight alive this weekend when they host Rennes.
The hosts narrowly escaped relegation from Ligue 1 last season, finishing just one point above the drop zone and this season is unlikely to be different. Jocelyn Gourvennec’s side sit five places above the bottom three and one of the reasons for this has been their performances on home soil. Nantes have won just two home fixtures this season - the second-fewest of any team in Ligue 1.
The only thing Rennes fans have been able to celebrate so far this season was reaching the semi-finals of the French Cup. Les Rennais are currently in the bottom half of the table, which is surprising for a team that finished fourth in Ligue 1 last season. Julien Stéphan's side enter this weekend's game with four defeats from their last matches, but the visitors will take heart from the fact that they won each of their last four meetings with Nantes.
Nantes vs Rennes Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
When it comes to meetings between Nantes and Rennes at Louis Fonteneau, the absence of goals has been the major headline in recent years. Five of the last six meetings between the two sides ended with just one goal and I expect this weekend’s game to end similarly.
Scoring goals has equally been a major problem for Rennes in recent games. The visitors boast just one goal from their last four matches across all competitions and only one of those fixtures produced over 2.5 goals.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals

Nantes team news
Moses Simon has missed the last three games of Nantes due to a broken fibula and Saturday’s game will come too soon for the winger.
The hosts’ injury list also includes Bastien Meupiyou (meniscus damage) and Ignatius Ganago (cruciate ligament tear), but head coach Antoine Kombouaré has no suspensions.

Rennes team news
After the defeat to Toulouse last weekend, head coach Enzo Le Fée is expected to make changes to the side that was on the pitch from kickoff in that game.
Enzo Le Fée will be among those expected to drop to the bench after playing just 38 minutes in that game. The midfielder was replaced by Fabian Rieder who could get a start in the middle of the park alongside Baptiste Santamaria and Amine Gouiri.
On the injury front, the visitors will be without the services of Mahamadou Nagida who has been out with a knee injury since February.
