Rennes take on the visitors Nantes in the round 7 match of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, October 1st at Roazhon Park (Rennes).
The perpetually ambitious project led by Bruno Genesio is entering its third year in a defined paradigm where Rennes must play in the Champions League and consistently finish in the top 3. However, so far, they've been settling for top 5 finishes and competing in lower-ranking European tournaments. The new season didn't bring a sharp rise to the top. The Red and Black team is still quite ambitious but unstable. They recently missed a victory against Le Havre at home, despite leading 2-0 (resulting in a 2-2 draw). Overall, they suffer from a draw syndrome, with only 1 win and 5 draws in their last six matches. Their only convincing victory was a 5-1 thrashing of Metz at the start. So, there's no certainty that things will end well against Nantes.

The Canaries are the reigning finalists of the French Cup, which they narrowly avoided relegation to Ligue 2 in the previous season. The team under Combouare struggled towards the end of the season and only secured their place in Ligue 1 in the final round of the previous season. This season, under the new coach Aristue, they had a weak start with just 1 point in 3 matches, but they improved in the fall, going four matches in a row without a defeat. After a 3-3 draw with Monaco, where they squandered a 3-1 lead, they drew 1-1 with Marseille at home, won 1-0 against Clermont away, and engaged in a lively shootout with Lorient in the last round (resulting in a 5-3 win). The visitors are currently on the rise.
I particularly like the idea of betting on the away team's goal in this match, considering that Rennes is currently unstable and have started participating in European competitions, which have filled their schedule with a significant number of games. On the other hand, it's essential to note that the Canaries have significantly improved their attack in their recent matches, as they can't rely on their defense. Considering all of the above, there is a definite desire to bet on the away team scoring in this match.
Prediction for the match: Nantes to score – yes.
