The teams also deliver a poor performance in the domestic championship and the current view of the Ligue 1 table puts the hosts in eighth place, the guests only in 16th place. Accordingly, the best bookmakers also see Rennes against Nice according to current betting odds as a clear favorite.

The game on Friday evening kicks off at 9 p.m., further Ligue 1 previews, analyzes and betting recommendations from our authors can be found in the category Football France.

Rennes - statistics & current form

Last season, Julien Stephan's team was surprisingly in third place at the time of the cancellation and thus qualified for the premier class. In the current season, an international starting place is once again the big goal. After playing 25 games, the team from Brittany currently has three points less on the credit side than last year. But instead of third in the table, Rennes is currently only eighth.

Six games without a win

However, Rennes still has some catching up to do and could climb to fifth with a success in this. However, the fifth place in the table this season is the absolute maximum, the quartet at the top has already rushed Rennes.

The Stephan-Elf may not deal with the top at the moment, because the latest performances are anything but satisfactory. Of the last nine league games, only the guest appearance in Brest could be won. In the last six games, the team around top talent Camavinga could not celebrate a single victory.

In view of this form crisis, the tip on a home win at Rennes vs. Nice is not advisable. Especially since according to the betting base odds comparison not even a 1.90 is offered for the home win.

Relatively few goals

In the 25 league games to date, an average of 2.40 goals per game have been scored (32:28 goal difference). This means the fifth lowest value in French Ligue 1. Even so, 13 games ended with a successful bet on the over 2.5.

These numbers underline the philosophy of head coach Julien Stephan relatively well. The 40-year-old is not a coach who pushes counter-pressing and unconditional offensive play, but attaches great importance to the defensive. Therefore, relatively few hits are scored, another reason is certainly the lack of a top striker.

Nice - statistics & current form

The team from the beautiful Riviera has seen much better days. In the past five years, we have consistently placed third to eighth. Nice is currently far from that and as table 16. the ghost of relegation on the Cote d’Azur is even haunted a little. The lead on the relegation place is still six points.

Three defeats in a row

However, the current form of the guests is comparable to that of the hosts from Rennes - absolutely disappointing. After Patrick Vieira was released, his previous assistant coach Adrian Ursea was presented as his successor. The Romanian has not yet been able to achieve the turnaround and in 17 competitive games an average of only 0.88 points per game was collected.

The three most recent league games also ended in defeat. However, Nice has to be given a little credit for the fact that PSG and Marseille faced two absolute top opponents. Last weekend, Nice had to admit defeat to form strong FC Metz at home. A defeat that hurt, because Metz is by no means higher than OGC Nice.

Passable away record

However, it proved once again that the Allianz Riviera is not necessarily an advantage for Nice. The home record is absolutely disappointing, as only two games have been won. With only eight points, Nice is only 18th in the home table.

Away, however, the performances can be seen. A positive 5-3-3 balance means that Nice can even be found in sixth place in the guest table. Although the form can by no means be used as a positive argument, the prognosis of a point win by the guests is certainly a lucrative option due to the strong away record at Rennes vs. Nice. The high odds on the draw no bet market may also be worth considering.

Expected formation of Nice:

Benitez - Kamara, Saliba, Todibo, Pelmard - Claude-Maurice, Boudaoui, Lees Melou - Gouiri, Maolida, Ndoye

Direct comparison / H2H

Anniversary on Friday evening - for the 100th time the two clubs face each other in a competitive game. The long-term historical comparison shows an advantage for the guests from the Cote d’Azur, because Nice celebrated 39 victories, while Rennes celebrated only 33 successes.

The team from Brittany celebrated one of these successes in the first duel of the season. A goal from M’Baye Niang in the 28th minute decided the game in favor of Rennes, who beat Nice for the first time after ten winless Ligue 1 games.

Betting base forecast & France Rennes - Nizza France tip

The football weekend in France will be opened by two teams who will need a strong series at the end of the season in order to still be able to achieve their own season goals. Basically, reaching Europe was the goal for both the home side and the guests for 2020/21. The role of favorites at Rennes vs. Nice according to odds for the home side is understandable due to the table situation.

Free soccer tips

However, it is surprising that this favorite position on the part of betting providers is so clear. Rennes is currently in a bad form and after six games without a win, a 1.88 seems much too low - especially since it is known that Nice performs significantly better abroad than at home. In this regard, on Friday evening at Rennes against Nice, the prognosis for the double chance X2 is really suitable.
