Rennes hosts Montpellier in round 28 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, March 8th at Roazhon Park (Rennes)
Rennes offensively lost to Saint-Etienne in the semifinal of the French Cup (2-1), having conceded in the 94th minute. But the Red and Blacks are doing better in the championship, having very good chances of getting into the Champions League, albeit through qualification. The men of Julien Stefan are in third place in the standings with 47 points scored. Truth be told, Lille hangs on their tail, lagging just one point behind. The only problem of the hosts is that they have a crowded infirmary: Martin, Grenier, Guglio, Johansson, Morel and Nyamsi will not play.

Montpellier has also not lost its chances of getting into European cups, having settled down in sixth position. The Paladins are six points behind the Europa League zone, as well as seven behind the Champions League. Michel Ter-Zakarian’s team managed to fly out of two national cups, having lost to Reims and Belfort. The visitors experience huge problems with the away stadiums, where they gained only one victory in 13 matches played. As for the losses, there is nothing serious since Cozza was injured at the beginning of the season.
Rennes’ football players are well aware that they need to try to score the maximum number of points in each round so as not to lose the third position. Especially on the home field, where the Red-Blacks are one of the best teams in the league in terms of this indicator. But Montpellier seems to come to Roazhon Park to get at least one point since there are very few chances to win, given the statistics of performances on the road. Since the coefficient for a zero handicap of the hosts is not very good, we should bet on their goals scored. I think there should be no problems with this option.
Prediction for the match: Rennes to score over 1.0 goal
