Rennes vs Toulouse Predictions

• Both teams have scored in five of Rennes last seven home league matches
• Seven of Toulouse’s last nine games have featured at least three goals
• Rennes have kept just three clean sheets in 18 home games this season

Toulouse showing their teeth on the road

Rennes need to pick themselves up from free successive defeats which have included a 1-0 cup loss at Paris Saint-Germain, but all of those losses have come on the road and they will be glad to be back on their own patch.

They have won five of their last seven home games, so confidence should be high, but they should be mindful that Toulouse have not been slouches on their recent travels.

A win for the visitors would virtually ensure top-flight football for next season and they have taken a full return from four of their last five away games.

A 3-0 victory at bottom-of-the-table Clermont in their last road match may not raise many eyebrows, but victories at seventh-placed Reims and Monaco, who are third, show they can mix it with anyone.

High-scoring draw could materialise

Toulouse’s need for points to ease any lingering relegation doubts, added to their strong recent away record, should ensure there are a few goals in this one, especially as Rennes struggle to keep home clean sheets despite some good results recently.

It may just be that this is one occasion when Le Rouge et Noirs are unable to get over the line, so a high-scoring draw could ensure, with 2-2 providing potential interest for those looking for a correct-score bet.
