Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Reims welcome Rennes to their Stade Auguste-Delaune on day 16 of the 2022/2023 Ligue 1 campaign. Les Rouges et Blancs are stuck in the middle of the table, and, no doubt, they would be happy with one point from Thursday’s clash. Anyhow, we are positive that the hosts will adopt yet another defence-minded approach against Rennes. Andre Gravillon remains in the recovery room, but all Lopy, Busi, and Flips are back to contention.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, defeated Toulouse 2-1 before the World Cup break. Rennes are eager to stay in the Champions League berth, but beating Reims on the road is easier said than done. Taking everything into account, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. Warmed Omari has yet to overcome a groin injury, while fellow defender Birger Meling is back from suspension.
