Rennes vs Nantes Prediction and Betting Tips | October 9, 2022

Rennes will host Nantes at Roazhon Park on Sunday (October 9) afternoon in Ligue 1.

Les Rennais endured a shaky start to their season but have found form recently. They beat Strasbourg 3-1 in their last league outing before beating Dynamo Kyiv 2-1 in the UEFA Europa League in midweek. Martin Terrier scoredthe opener before 17-year-old Desire Doue came off the bench to score a late winner.

Rennes are sixth in the league standings with 15 points and will look to add to that tally this weekend.

Nantes, meanwhile, have had a highly underwhelming campaign and look like a shadow of the team that won the Coupe de France last season. They lost 4-1 to Monaco in their last league game and were already four goals down before getting on the scoreboard late in the game.

The visitors are 16th in the standings, with just seven points from nine games. They are level on points with Reims in the relegation zone and will look to widen that gap this weekend.
