Rennes take on the visitors Montpellier at “Roazhon Park” in the matchday 36 of the Ligue 1. The game will be played on Sunday, May 7th.
Last gameweek Rennes were defeated by Bastia with 0:1 scoreline on the road. At the season’s finishing line Christian Gourcuff’s side lost its motivation as it is sitting on the ninth place in the Ligue 1 standings with 44 points gained without any chances either for taking medals or to be relegated in this season. At their own turf Rennes always demonstrate strong and balanced football as they picked up 33 points alongside with 23-12 goal difference in 17 home encounters. Renne’s home unbeaten run counts for five clashes.

In their turn, Montpellier lost their two recent matches to Paris SG 0:2 and Lille 0:3. In general, “La Paillade” have already guaranteed themselves saving a place in the French elite division, occupying the 13th place in the standings with 39 points earned, being six points ahead of the teams sitting in the relegation zone with only three gameweeks left till the end of the season. On the road Montpellier show weak results recording 10 points gained, 20 goals for and 41 goals against.
In recent seasons there is no evident favourite in Rennes and Montpellier head-to-heads. The ideal outcome of the upcoming fight for the both teams would be a draw which would allow the hosting side to prolong its undefeated run while the visiting team would make the last step to saving its place in the Ligue 1 for the next season. I would like to take the risk.
Prediction for the match: Draw.
