Stade Rennais vs Clermont Foot 63 Prediction: Rennais won’t lose at home

Stade Rennais and Clermont Foot are in search of positive results. Both teams have suffered defeats in their last 2 matches and face each other in the 24th round of the French Ligue 1. Stade Rennais welcome Clermont Foot 63 to Roazhon Park. Rennes lost 3-1 to Toulouse and Clermont Foot were beaten 2-0 by Olympique Marseille in the previous round. A win here for Rennes would see them move up to 5th spot, if Lille do not secure 3 points in their own match and for Clermont, they move up to 11th if Toulouse fail to win their match.

Rennais are the superior team, although it is surprising that they have been poor in their last 2 matches. Rennais are almost formidable at home and they have lost just 2 matches on home soil all season. That is the sort of record that puts you on the high end of the table and Rennais are walking in the right direction. For Clermont Foot, they are still struggling at the moment and I don't see this ending well for them. So I foresee Rennais' dominance and win in this match, alongside a very narrow goal margin.
