Montpellier vs Rennes Predictions

Tip Reasoning

• Both teams have scored in 80% of Rennes’ away games this season
• Montpellier have lost 50% of their home games this season
• Rennes concede just 1.06 goals per game this season

Rennes battling for Europe

Rennes are in a fight for European qualification, with just two points separating them from fifth-placed Lille with seven games left to play. They are on a poor run of form, with just two wins in their last six games, but will be looking to put that right against a struggling Montpellier side.

Sunday’s fixture will not be made easy for Rennes, as Montpellier have scored in each of their last nine games. In fact, Rennes have seen both teams score in 80% of their away games this season, while the same has happened in each of Montpellier’s last four games. As a result, both teams to score looks a good prediction for this fixture.

Montpellier should be safe

Montpellier have built up a sizeable gap between themselves and the relegation zone, with seven points separating them from 17th-placed Strasbourg, with seven games left to go. The hosts have struggled when playing at home this season, having lost 50% of their home games.

As a result of their poor home form, Montpellier could struggle in Sunday’s game, making Rennes the favourites. Rennes have scored two or more goals in four of their last five wins, while Montpellier have scored in each of their last nine, so a 2-1 scoreline in favour of the away side suits here.
