Rennes vs Brest Prediction and Betting Tips | 18th January 2025
Rennes host Brest at the Roazhon Park in Ligue 1 on Saturday, looking to recover from back-to-back losses in the French top flight. Since beating Angers on 15 December last year, Les Rennais have lost to OGC Nice (3-2) and Marseille (2-1) in the league.
This poor run of form has seen them drop to 14th in the league standings with only 17 points from as many games.
They are hovering just a point above the relegation zone and if that wasn't enough, Jorge Sampaoli's side were also knocked out of the French Cup in their most recent outing.
Rafiki Said netted the only goal of the game for Troyes in the 56th minute as Rennes saw their cup run end in the round of 32.
On the other hand, Brest are currently on an upward spiral. They've won five of their last six games in all competitions, including their most recent two.
Les Pirates overcame Lyon 2-1 in their last top-flight encounter, before dumping Nantes out of the French Cup with an identical victory in the last 32.
Eric Roy's side are oozing great confidence while taking their chances upfront clinically.
