Nantes vs Rennes Predictions

• Rennes have shipped over two goals per away game this term
• However, the visitors have underperformed their xG on their travels
• Nantes have seen both teams score in five of their last six
• The hosts have performed better at home than results suggest, so expect an improved attacking display

Pair are good value for goals

Neither of these two sides have had a great campaign, with Nantes sitting second-bottom and Rennes in 12th. However, the pair are second and third respectively in terms of Expected Points underperformance.

Rennes have shipped over two goals per game on their travels so far, but their attacking play should have returned more than their four strikes in six games. Despite that, two-thirds of their trips have featured three or more goals.

Nantes have won just twice this term, but their displays at home have them 10th on xPoints at home. The hosts have seen both teams score in five of their last six games, with defensive issues also holding them back.

With these two crossing paths, this seems like a good chance for both to get a better return on their attacking play. As a result, over 2.5 goals appeals alongside a 2-2 draw.
