Rennes vs Toulouse prediction 28.02.2026 | Ligue 1

After two mid-table seasons, Rennes are much better in the current campaign. They are only three points behind the desired fourth position, and it will not be surprising if we see them in the Champions League for the first time since the 2019/20 season. Rennes had a terrible period a few weeks ago, but with two victories in their last two matches, they are back on the right track. Last weekend, Franck Haise's team won 3-0 on the road against Auxerre. The visitors scored all three goals in the first half, so their victory was never in doubt.

After five games without a victory a few weeks ago, Rennes sacked the head coach Habib Beye. In his place, Franck Haise led the team to victories over PSG and Auxerre. In those two matches, Rennes had a 6:1 goal difference, so the team's confidence has to be high at the moment.

Franck Haise was very satisfied after last weekend's win in Auxerre. He said, "We won this match, we didn't concede any goals, even if we did allow a few chances at the end, and that's the most important thing. Overall, we controlled the game, but we know we can do even better, especially in terms of our use of the ball."

Glen Kamara, Jeremy Jacquet, and Przemyslaw Frankowski are injured and will not play on Saturday against Toulouse.

Toulouse have another solid season. They could even get into the battle for spots in the Europa or Conference League, but it seems Toulouse lacks the consistency to be anything more than a mid-table team. Carles Martinez's team collected only one point in the last three matches. In the most recent outing, they played 1-1 at home against Paris FC. The hosts deserved much more, as they ended with xG of 2.93, while the guests had only 0.88.

Although Toulouse failed to win in the previous Ligue 1 round, the head coach, Carles Martinez, was satisfied. He said, "I told the players on the morning of the match that victory was the objective. It was also important to rediscover our best form, our mentality. That's what we did. We started the match well with several chances. Defensively, we also managed well. We conceded a goal due to a mistake on our part, but Paris has good players. That's football. In the second half, we did everything we could to score. This point is completely deserved. We even deserved more. If we continue to play like this, theoretically, the victories will return, and so will our confidence."

Toulouse have big problems with missing players. They will be without Ilyas Azizi, Cristian Casseres, Alex Dominguez, Aron Donnum, Abu Francis, Frank Magri, and Rafik Messali. Also, Emersonn is questionable.
