Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Rennes
Match Time & Date:
22/08/2021
08:00 AM
Prediction: 2-1
Nantes
Roazhon Park will host Sunday’s football game between Rennes and Nantes, the two teams who aim to remain undefeated in the 2021/22 Ligue 1 campaign. Les Rouges et Noirs head into the match following back-to-back draws with the likes of Lens and Brest, and, no doubt, they are eager to register their first triumph of the process. Even though all Jeremy Gelin, Adrien Truffert, and Jonas Martin remain in the recovery room, home win should be considered.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, did well to beat Metz 2-0 on home soil at the weekend, but seeing that they are not regarded as good travelers, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Rennes. The likes of Anthony Limbombe, Wylan Cyprien, and Kalifa Coulibaly are all out of contention through injuries for the visiting team.
Highlighted Player (Dalbert Henrique):
Dalbert Henrique is a left-footed full back who plays for Ligue 1 side Nice. Born in Barra Mansa, Brazil, Henrique began his career in a local club Barra Mansa and in 2012 he moved to Fluminense. One year later the 182-cm-tall footballer joined Flamengo, but he did not play for “Mengao” at senior level.
Dalbert Henrique made his professional debut for Academio de Viseu and in 2015 he moved to Vitoria Guimaraes of Portugal. After making 25 appearances for the Primeira Liga club, the left-back joined Ligue 1 side Nice in 2016. Henrique made his debut for les Aiglons on August 14, 2016 in a league match against Stade de Rennais. Dalbert, who was born on September 8, 1993, has yet to earn a call-up for the Brazil national football team.
The Brazilian player has a contract with Nice which expires on June 30, 2021. His main position is left-back (full-back), but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well.
Highlighted Team (Nantes):
Founded on April 21, 1943 Nantes is a professional football club that compete in French Ligue 1. Les Canaris are considered one of the most famous French clubs and they had a lot of success during the sixties and the seventies. Nantes won their first Ligue 1 title in the 1964/1965 season and 36 years later (2000/2001) they clinched their eighth (last) domestic trophy.
Speaking of the club’s European success, les Canaris did well to make it to the Champions League semis in 1996, but Italian giants Juventus proved to be a big catch for the French outfit. Nantes welcome their rivals at La Beaujoire-Louis Fonteneau and the capacity of the stadium is 38.004.
The likes of Vahid Halilhodzic, Adel Selimi, Michel Der Zakarian, Viorel Moldovan, Mario Yepes, Marcel Desailly, Didier Deschamps, Claude Makelele, Christian Karembeu and Dimitri Payet are the notable footballers who played for the club in the past. Nantes are well known for their yellow jerseys and that is the reason why they are nicknamed the Canaries (les Canaris).
