Match Time & Date:

Prediction: 2-1
Nice
Rennes will be aiming to make amends for back-to-back losses to St Etienne and Montpellier when they take on Nice in the Ligue 1 round 27. Les Rouges et Noirs do not seem to be at their sharpest ahead of Friday’s clash, with the team failing to win the previous five league fixtures. Rennes are eager to regain their spot in top five, and given Nice’s form in February, they will not have a better chance than this to get back on course in the French top flight.
Since midfielder Flavian Tait should be the only absentee in the home team, we believe that punters can find value in betting on Julien Stephan’s troops. Les Aiglons, on the other hand, suffered a dip in form, with the team losing each of their previous three league fixtures. Nice are not regarded as good travellers, and given the number of absentees in the away team, we are tempted to put our money on les Rouges et Noirs.

Dalbert, who was born on September 8, 1993, has yet to earn a call-up for the Brazil national football team.
