Rennes vs Reims Prediction, Betting Tips & Prediction

Rennes v. Reims
France – Ligue 1
Date: Sunday, October 4, 2024
Starts at 16pm UK / 17pm CET
Location: Roazhon Park (Rennes).

Rennes won Ligue 1 and are in first place, the question is how long can they stay there?

The favorites are likely to beat Reims given their strength and how poor Reims started. Rennes made a big statement last weekend when they took on Saint Etienne to see who would lose their 100% record away. Rennes easily won the game and went 3-0 without a win.

Rennes currently have 13 points and have won the last 4 games in a row and are scoring just over 2 goals per game.

It looks like Reims are in trouble and will go to Ligue 2 if they don't change form quickly. They are in 19th place and have only 1 point and the only goal difference is to avoid being last. After such a successful last season, in which they qualified for the Europa League playoffs, this has been a nightmare so far.

They sold some key players, including Axel Disasi, to Monaco and in the Europa League qualifiers they were knocked out, so they won't even be playing European football this season.

They lost 4 consecutive games and the last game ended with a 2-0 defeat against PSG at home, having scored only 3 goals this season.

Rennes vs Reims: Prediction

Reims have been very weak and can only start adding points when they are at home. Out there, one would expect more suffering for the club. However, they have performed very well at Rennes in recent years.

We don't believe this will continue this season and in this game with Rennes rising to the next level they have a lot of players who can do damage to Reims and we will be backing the home team for another win. With the way Reims have been playing, it would be a surprise to see the club achieve anything on Sunday afternoon.

Rennes v Reims: betting tips:
