Rennes hosts Nantes in round 22 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Friday, January 31st at Roazhon Park (Rennes)
Rennes holds a very strong season. Having scored 37 points in 21 championship rounds, it closes the top three. The team lags behind second Marseille by only five points. And who knows, maybe the Red and Blacks will compete with it for silver medals and a direct ticket to the Champions League. But they will try to keep the current third place to the last. Medals will not hurt. Rennes had never had them before. The team had to play away in the last two rounds. And it coped with the task well, having gained four points out of six possible.

Having earned 32 points, Nantes takes the sixth line in the standings. In the last round, it lost to Bordeaux at home. In general, the last three months ended without complete failures, as it was in the middle of autumn when Nantes managed to score just one point in five rounds. It also has an equal goal difference - 19-19.
Rennes is in great shape now. And it is very unyielding on the home pitch, having lost in only three out of 10 matches. The Red and Blacks lost to Marseille, Nice, and Reims, but it happened back in October. At the same time, they took three points even from leading PSG. If we look at the last 12 head-to-head matches in Rennes, Nantes won only once, 7 years ago. Judging by the current power of Rennes, the Canaries won’t manage to take away three points again. As for performance. I’ve already mentioned the goal difference of Nantes, and it is pretty modest. And the Canaries played with Over 3.5 goals scored only once in this championship. Rennes is also not very effective. Only in three matches with its participation recorded more than three goals. In the last 20 head-to-head meetings, rivals played with Over 3.5 goals scored only twice. There is no particular reason to expect an abundance of goals now. Once again, Rennes probably will not remain without points at home.
Prediction for the match: Rennes to win with +0.5 handicap and Under 3.5 goals scored
