Rennes will be hoping to return to winning ways when they welcome in-form Strasbourg to Roazhon Park on Sunday afternoon. The hosts have struggled for consistency this season, with too many draws hindering their progress in the Ligue 1 standings.
Julien Stéphan’s side have been difficult to beat but have turned just two of their ten league matches into victories so far, recording six draws and two defeats. Rennes were held to a 2-2 draw away at Toulouse last time out, following a 1-2 home defeat to Nice.
That result extended their winless streak to four matches, although the Breton club have found the net regularly in recent weeks, scoring in each of their last six outings.
At home, Rennes have taken points from four of five fixtures this term, collecting wins against Lyon (3-1) and Auxerre (2-2) but also being held by Lens and beaten only once. Their defensive record remains a concern, with the hosts conceding an average of 1.6 goals per game across the campaign.
Strasbourg make the trip west in confident mood following a strong start to the season under Liam Rosenior. Les Alsaciens sit comfortably inside the top four after six wins from their first ten league fixtures and arrive on the back of an emphatic 3-0 home victory over Auxerre.
That result extended their run to four wins in their last six matches, with only one defeat during that spell.
Away from home, Strasbourg have also been competitive, picking up two wins and a draw from five away games, including a 3-3 draw at PSG and a 3-2 win at Paris FC. They have averaged over two goals per game this season, with attacking play proving their biggest strength, although defensive lapses have occasionally left them exposed.
The Betting Verdict
Rennes remain tough to beat at home, but Strasbourg’s attacking form and momentum could see them claim at least a share of the spoils.
The Pick :
Rennes 1-1 Strasbourg
