Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Rennes will be looking to extend their winning run to nine games in all competitions when they take on Clermont in the Ligue 1 round 22. Les Rouges et Blancs have been scoring goals for fun in 2024 and we are positive that they will stick to their attacking style of play. Keep in mind, though, that both Arnaud Kalimuendo and Bertug Yildirim are banned for the match.
Les Lanciers, meanwhile, suffered a heavy 4-0 loss to Lille in their last away game, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the hosts. Forward Elba Rashani is banned for the match, while midfielder Cheick Oumar Konate misses out with an ankle problem. Shamar Nicholson is widely expected to lead the line for the away team. In their last meeting at the venue Rennes defeated Clermont 2-0 and we predict that history is going to repeat itself.
