Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Rennes will be aiming to build on a thrilling 3-0 win over Angers when they face Auxerre in the Ligue 1 round 28. Les Rouges et Noirs did well to escape the danger zone, but they can’t afford any complacency in the remainder of the season. A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Arnaud Kalimuendo, who scored a brace at the weekend, while manager Habib Beye has no fresh injury worries.
Christophe Pelissier’s troops, on the other hand, proved their worth in a hard-fought 1-0 win over Montpellier, but given their difficulties on the road, we predict that Rennes are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s clash. Florian Aye is pushing for a start after scoring the winner as a substitute against La Paillade, while both Nathan Buayi-Kiala and Lasso Coulibaly remain on the sidelines with injuries.
