Reims vs Rennes – Rennes’ five-game winning streak in Ligue 1 came to an end last weekend when they drew 1-1 at Allianz Riviera against Nice.
Bruno Genesio’s side will have a good chance to get back on track on Saturday afternoon when they travel to Stade Auguste-Delaune II to face bottom-placed Reims in Matchday 31.
In Ligue 1, there are no more attacking-minded clubs than Rennes at the present. In four of the last six league games, Bruno Genesio’s team has scored at least four goals. They currently share the league’s best attacking record with PSG, the league’s sole leader.
The attacking combo of Martin Terrier and Gaetan Laborde is lethal. So far this season, they’ve combined for 28 goals.
In their previous three league games, the Terriers had scored four goals. He is tied for second place among the division’s leading scorers, one goal behind Monaco’s talisman Wissam Ben Yedder.
On Saturday, Terrier and his teammates will have a difficult time breaking down Reims’ tenacious defense.
Recently, Reims has been playing tight defensive football. This explains why they haven’t scored three or more goals in any of their last four league games.
However, in the last two games against Lyon and Troyes, the club managed by Spanish manager Oscar Garcia failed to deliver on the other end.
It’s worth noting that Reims will be missing key defensive midfielder Aron Matusiwa, who was sent off in the 1-0 loss to relegation-threatened Troyes last weekend.
Reims vs Rennes – Betting Analysis
Reims has won four consecutive home games in Ligue 1, and they have dominated this rivalry in recent years. Rennes, on the other hand, is the most in-form squad in the division right now, and we can’t pass up the 1.90 odds on the away victory choice.
Rennes is scoring goals like crazy these days, and despite Reims’ excellent defensive form, we think there’s a lot of value in backing the visitors to score two or more goals on Saturday at 2.00 odds.
