Rennes vs Troyes Prediction

Rennes Form

It is all or nothing with Rennes presently. They first went down 1-0 in an encounter with Montpellier, to which they replied by beating Angers4-2. Their latest encounter once again had them on the losing side, when they lost 2-1 against Nice. Rennes claimed a middle-of-the-road three wins in their previous six matches on home soil in the Ligue 1. They also drew zero and lost three, as they scored ten and conceded seven goals.

Rennes went into the season with the ambition of qualifying for a European competition. They still have all to play for here at the business end of the season.

Troyes Form

In their previous three games, Troyes drew 2-2 with Nantes, then lost 0-1 against Nice and 1-3 against PSG. Troyes came through their last six away games in the Ligue 1 without a single win. Of those six matches, they drew one and lost five in which, they were outscored by 14 goals to four.

Rennes had their sights set on qualifying for Europe, and this is still a highly probable outcome to the season, but they need to remain focused.

In current form, it is very difficult to argue against Rennes claiming yet another win. Troyes don't look strong enough right now to push their hosts to dropping points.

Rennes took 38 points from their last 17 encounters with teams from the bottom half of the Ligue 1 table. This amounts to 12 wins after scoring 36 times and conceding 14. Troyes claimed one win and six points in their last ten games against teams from the top six. They scored 14 times in these matches, but also conceded 24 goals. Rennes have a record of 17 wins, five draws and 12 defeats in the Ligue 1 this season. Troyes have four wins, ten draws and 20 defeats in the Ligue 1.
