Troyes vs Rennes Predictions

• Rennes have won their last five matches in all competitions
• Rennes have kept three straight league clean sheets
• Troyes have won only once from five home league games

Red-hot Rennes can maintain winning spell

Back-to-back victories over Nice and Reims have propelled Troyes outside of the Ligue 1 relegation zone, but Rennes can bring their winning run to an abrupt end.

Newly-promoted Troyes may have found their feet after a slow start to the season but the same can be said for Rennes, who have recorded five wins in all competitions.

Bruno Genesio’s team started the campaign with only one win from six attempts, but they have responded by collecting 13 points from their last five matches.

Rennes have conceded just once during that period and their four wins were all recorded to nil, which includes a 2-0 victory over pace-setters Paris St-Germain – that remains their only defeat of the campaign.

The visitors were emphatic 3-0 winners at Metz on their last road trip and they should have enough in reserve to follow up at Troyes, who have suffered five defeats from their opening 11 games.

The hosts have won just once in five attempts at home, losing to PSG and Monaco, and face another daunting task against fifth-placed Rennes, who are ten places and six points better off in the table.

Correct-score punters should take Rennes to win 2-0. The Red and Blacks have kept three straight league clean sheets and the last league meetings between these sides ended that way.
