Saint-Etienne vs Rennes: the Red and Blacks to win confidently

Saint-Etienne will take on Rennes on December 5. Let’s see how the opponents are doing and what’s best to bet on.

Saint-Etienne suffered two defeats after two wins in a row – the joy did not last long. First, they were defeated by PSG 1-3, the last match saw the team lose to Brest (0-1) by a narrow margin. Thus, the team continues to occupy the last position in the standings of the French Ligue 1, with 12 points. Saint-Etienne can still make it, because Clermont has only two points more.

If Rennes had not suffered a defeat by Lille (1-2) in the last match, they would already be second in the table, but now they are 3rd with 29 points. This loss would not have been so bad if it were not for Nice in the 4th place, only one point behind. The match against Saint-Etienne is a great opportunity to get enough points and keep the place in the top-3. 

Rennes can not afford to lose in the upcoming match, otherwise, they risk dropping out of the top-3. And in general, the defeat inflicted by the main outsider of the league can strongly affect the morale of the team. We don't think Rennes will miss the chance to add three points to their piggy bank. All in all, we suggest not trying too hard, just take a clear victory of the guests for very attractive odds.

Prediction: Rennes will win.

• W2 for 1.90;
• ITO2 (1.5) for 1.96;
• Rennes To Score In Both Halves for 2.88.
