Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Angers will be aiming to make amends for a 3-2 loss to Toulouse when they take on Rennes in the Ligue 1 round 12. Les Scoistes extended their losing run to three games at the weekend, with the team remaining in the relegation zone, and it is no wonder the odds for away win have been dropping. All Ilyes Chetti, Ali Kalla, Lois Diony, and Ulrick Eneme-Ella are out of contention with injuries for the away team.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, are eyeing their fourth consecutive league win, and they must be high on spirits following a 3-2 win over Lyon. Rennes are more of a team than Angers; therefore, we predict that the visitors are going to prove their worth on the field. A man to watch in the away side will be Martin Terrier, who scored a brace in the last league match, while Hamari Traore is back from suspension. All Warmed Omari, Baptiste Santamaria, and Jeremy Doku should miss out through injuries for the visiting side.
