On Friday, starting with 20:00, the match Strasbourg – Rennes will be played, within the round number 12 of Ligue 1.
Strasbourg is going through an extremely disappointing season. The team from the capital of the European Union managed to win only two matches in this competitive season, in which it was defeated 9 times. The only team that has recorded more defeats this season in Ligue 1 against the winners of the 2019 Cup is Dijon. In this sense, their mission will not be easy at all against Rennes on Friday night, despite the fact that France’s representation in the Champions League comes after 3 defeats in the last 4 matches in Ligue 1.
On the other hand, despite the modest performance in the last rounds, Rennes is a clearly superior team in terms of value. Most specialists in France see this as a definite candidate to obtain one of the first 3 positions at the end of the current season. However, for this goal to be achieved, Rennes must “adjust its speed” as soon as possible. It is on this idea that we have outlined our predictions.
Strasbourg (4-3-1-2): Kawashima; Lala, Simakan, Mitrovic, Caci; Aholou, Sissoko, Bellegarde; Thomasson; Diallo, Ajorque.
Rennes (4-3-3): Gomis; Traore, Nyamsi, Da Silva, Maouassa; Nzonzi, Camavinga, Bourigeaud; Del Castillo, Guirassy, Tait.
Strasbourg, 3 consecutive defeats on home soil;
Rennes, goal difference 4-0 in the last 2 direct matches;
Strasbourg has scored 7 goals in the previous 3 stages.
PREDICTION: Both teams to score / YES @ 1,88
