Nice v Rennes Tips

Nice host Rennes at the Allianz Riviera on Friday evening in a match that sees two sides come into the game in tremendous form. Read the Nice v Rennes match preview and predictions below.

Nice are currently unbeaten in their last 5 games and have conceded just two goals throughout those matches. Patrick Vieira’s side currently sit 11th in Ligue 1, 8 points behind Friday’s rivals. They have 28 points, 20 of which have been collected on home soil which makes this match a tough one to call. The home side will be looking to continue their great run of form on Friday and extend their 5 match winning streak in front of their home fans.

Rennes currently occupy 3rd position in the league and are pushing for automatic qualification into the Champions League next season. A top-two finish is required for that and they’re currently 5 points adrift of 2nd place Marseille. Rennes have been relatively solid away from home this season having conceded just 7 goals in 10 games. However, they have been averaging just 1 goal per game on the road which leads us to believe this will be a low scoring affair. However, the visitors have won 9 of their last 11 matches in all competitions showing that they know how to win games.

Nice v Rennes Prediction

Both sides come into this game in great form. Nice’s home record is excellent while Rennes have been solid on the road. A draw is probably a safer bet than picking a winner but the most likely bet to come in is to back under 2.5 goals. Despite Nice bagging an average of 2 goals per game on home soil, Rennes have conceded an average of just 0.7 goals on the road. Therefore, a low scoring game is expected.
