Prediction: 0-2
Rennes
Montpellier and Rennes go head to head at Stade de la Mosson in what is expected to be one of the most interesting games of Sunday’s program. La Paillade aim to make amends for back-to-back losses to Toulouse and Lille, but they will have a big fish to fry against les Rouges et Noirs. All Theo Sainte-Luce, Maxime Esteve, and Beni Makouana remain on the sidelines with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Rennes, on the other hand, recorded a routine 3-0 win over Reims at the weekend to move closer to the Conference League berth. Since the visitors want this victory more than the hosts, we predict that Bruno Genesio’s troops are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s encounter. A man to keep an eye in the visiting team will be pacey winger Jeremy Doku, who scored a brace against les Rouges et Blancs, while all Xeka, Lorenz Assignon, and Adrien Truffert miss out with injuries.
