Prediction: 1-1
Rennes
Nice and Rennes face each other at Allianz Riviera in the opening match of Saturday’s program. Les Aiglons defeated Troyes thanks to Hicham Boudaoui’s early goal at the weekend, with the team putting an end to their losing run, but they do not want to stop now. Didier Digard’s men aim to give fans yet another reason to celebrate, but it has to be noted that they have little to play for in the season finale. All Bryan, Pepe, Beka Beka, Viti, Diop, and Ndayishimiye miss out with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over Angers, and they are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach. Since Nice are capable of finding the net in front of home fans, both teams to score betting option should be considered. The visitors will be without Desire Doue, Adrien Truffert, and Xeka in Saturday’s clash.
