Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Rennes and Nantes go head to head at Roazhon Park in the closing match of the Ligue 1 round 7. Les Rouges et Noirs are undefeated in the new Ligue 1 campaign, but they need to start winning on a regular basis if they are to book their spot in the Champions League at the end of the season. Both Arnaud Kalimuendo and Martin Terrier are sidelined with injuries, but there are no suspended players in the home team.
Les Canaris, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Clermont and Lorient and given their four-game unbeaten run in the French top flight, the share of spoils is on the horizon at Roazhon Park. As for the away team, all Ignatius Ganago, Adson, Fabien Centonze, and Nathan Zeze remain in the recovery room, but boss Pierre Aristouy has no fresh injury concerns ahead of the trip to Brittany.
