Nantes vs Rennes Prediction & Betting Tips (20 September)

FC Nantes is already found in a delicate situation. He conceded last Sunday in Nice a third defeat on the score of 1-0 after those dating back to PSG and Strasbourg. The Canaries, goals only once, before the international break to win in front of Auxerre 1-0, are lacking in offensive efficiency and hold the worst attack in the championship. Luis Castro, successor on the bench of Antoine Kombouaré, sees his team point in 14th place in the ranking with the same total of points as the virtual barragist. The first results of Stade Rennais are paradoxical to say the least.

The players of Habib Beye made Marseille 1-0 fall at the opening of the season and have just overthrew the other Olympic, Lyon 3-1, by closing the 4th day. This last victory was drawn in the last quarter of an hour for the Rennais, then led 1-0. These prestigious successes are however the only red and black after 4 days. They took the water from the Lorient 4-0 promoted and was disputed by Angers 1-1 before the international break. 

The Nantes staff must take into account several physical seeds at the moment. While the promising winger Guirassy (holder) could miss a second opposition in a row, the Centonze defender who is not in the plans and the experienced environment Coquelin also remain in doubt. The Egyptian Mohamed author of his only goal on this new exercise, the recruit Lahdo (winger) and Abline, who comes from a season to 11 achievements, will now have to be more killers in front of the goal. Abline, whose starting desires did not materialize, took advantage of the Guirassy package in Nice to obtain his first tenure. Rennes negotiates this derby with an a priori complete group. Unique absent against Lyon, the Camara recruit (Middle) is again selectable after having served a suspension.

Samba was decisive on its line against OL, certainly the best Rennes players. Banned by competition from Lepaul (1 goal), Embolo and Al-Tamari, the young center-forward Meïté was decisive at the end of the bench with a decisive pass and his first goal of the season, that of the break. Blas (1 goal) is also a major asset in the midfield alongside Captain Rongier. The latter and Merlin (left side) face their old club this Saturday.
