Rennes vs Nice Betting Tips: BTTS / Rennes to win

The inconsistent team of Rennes aims to build on their two away victories from last year at Clermont and Guingamp.

After an outstanding performance last season, Renns has found it challenging to maintain the same consistency that led them to a fourth-place finish. Now, under the leadership of the new coach, Julien Stéphan, they are currently in tenth place in Ligue 1, trailing behind Nice by 16 points as they host this Saturday’s match.

Les Rennais usually score goals when playing at home. In eight out of nine Ligue 1 matches at Roazhon Park this season, both teams have scored. In seven of these games, more than 2.5 goals were scored. However, the host team’s record in the Win-Draw-Win market is not as consistent, with seven victories and five losses in their last 15 home league games.

Traditionally, this match has been favorable for those pursuing goals. In ten out of the last 13 encounters, both teams have scored (BTTS), and in each of the last four matches at this location, both teams have scored with over 2.5 goals. Nice prevailed in three of those matches, all with an identical score of 2:1.

While the visitors haven’t been as consistent in scoring goals, Nice has had both teams score (BTTS) and over 2.5 goals in their last two Ligue 1 matches.

Ultimately, while we might not see a goal-fest, I do like the chances of both teams scoring in Saturday evening´s Ligue 1 contest. In addition, with Nice missing several first-team players, Rennes could take advantage to edge their way to a vital three points.
