Prediction: 2-1
Brest
Following back-to-back losses to Nice and Olympique Marseille, Rennes will look to record their first win of 2025 when they take on Brest on Matchday 18. Les Rouges et Noirs are eyeing their sixth home win of the season, but they will have to showcase their worth on the field. Arnaud Kalimuendo is a major doubt after limping off with injury in the defeat to OM, with Seko Fofana being ready to step up. Both Dogan Alemdar and Alidu Seidu miss out with injuries for the home team.
Les Pirates, on the other hand, have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team beating both Nantes and Lyon, while losing to both Lille and Angers. Brest, though, are on a four-game losing run on the road and given their poor away record, we predict that the hosts are going to emerge triumphant in Saturday’s showdown. Both Jordan Amavi and Massadio Haidara are major doubts after the duo got injured in the triumph over les Gones.
