Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Angers and Rennes face each other in a highly-anticipated Ligue 1 game at Stade Raymond-Kopa. Les Scoistes aim to bounce back from a heavy 3-0 loss to Lyon, with the team eyeing their first league win since March 3, 2021. Angers are on a four-match winless run in the national championship, and given the number of absentees in the home team, we do not believe that there is a big value in betting on Stephane Moulin’s troops.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, did well to beat Nantes thanks to Martin Terrier’s goal, with the team keeping their Europa League hopes alive. Anyhow, Rennes are more of a team than Angers, and we predict that the visitors are going to pick up all three points from the match. Both Jonas Martin and Gnantin Yann Gboho are out of contention with injuries for the visiting team.
