Rennes hosts Montpellier in round 2 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Saturday, August 29th at Roazhon Park (Rennes)
In the last championship, Rennes won bronze medals for the first time in its history. This championship began with an away draw in Lille. In the offseason, the Red and Blacks played six friendly matches, lost only in the last one, and gained four victories. The club managed to retain the coach and almost the entire first-team squad. Beyond that, defender Aguard and forward Terrier, who played 23 matches for Lyon last season, joined the ranks of the team.

Montpellier has not played in the championship yet (in the first round, it had to confront Lyon that was involved in the Champions League). Before the start of the championship, the Paladins played only four friendly matches. They gained only one victory, and even that one over the representative of the second league Rodez. They only tied with Metz and Bastia (a team from the 3rd league) and lost to Strasbourg. Of course, friendly matches are friendly matches, and it is difficult to judge the true state of the team based on their results. But a draw with a club from the 3rd league still suggests that something is rotten in Montpellier.
Whatever it was in Montpellier, but everything is in order in Rennes. The team held a good preparatory segment. Most of the leaders of last year's squad are in place. And Rennes is ready to continue its winning streak at the home stadium. It amounts to five matches in a row. It is extremely difficult for Montpellier to play away matches. For example, the Paladins lost in eight out of 14 away meetings in the last championship. And the last game in Rennes was lost with a 5-0 score. If we go back to the last championship, Rennes beat Montpellier even on its pitch. It will probably win this time too.
Prediction for the match: Rennes to win
