Strasbourg vs Stade Rennes Prediction: Rennes are huge favorites

A detailed Analysis and Prediction of the Ligue 1 Game RC Strasbourg vs. Stade Rennais on August 25, 2024 is discussed below

Strasbourg has had a rather shaky start to the season—drawing 1–1 with Montpellier in their opening match. Going into this fixture, their form has been patchy at best with friendly defeats to Borussia Mönchengladbach and a draw against Freiburg. Strasbourg usually fairs well at home, but recent weakness in defense could be a cause for concern.

Rennes, on their part, will draw in the full morale from their first match's victory over Olympique Lyonnais with a 3-0 comfortable win. Rennes has done well in their last six fixtures, winning four, drawing one, and losing one. The average number of goals scored is 1.0, with at least 1.7 scored per match.

Of the last five matches between the two teams, both won two each, with one draw. Recently, Strasbourg won at home 2-0 in March 2024. The average number of goals in this fixture, based on the last 26 matches, is 2.77—pretty competitive matches.

Strasbourg has had over 2.5 goals in all their home matches in 2024, so there is a predisposition for big scores at the Stade de la Meinau. On Rennes' side, all their away games this season went over 2.5 goals, following their good attacking form.

Rennes' superior form, especially their strong start against Lyon, and Strasbourg's inconsistency with clear defensive issues, do make them favorites in this one. Scoring over 2.5 goals seems very possible, considering the recent trends in both teams' scoring habits.
