Prediction: 2-1
Nice
Roazhon Park will host Saturday’s Ligue 1 game between Rennes and Nice, the two teams who defeated Clermont and Lens respectively before the winter break. Les Rouges et Noirs aim to move closer to the Europa League berth and we are positive that they will go for a win in the first league game of the year. Midfielder Christopher Wooh is on international duty with Cameroon, while both Lorenz Assignon and Nemanja Matic are out of contention through injuries.
Les Aiglons, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Lens. Nice, though, were struggling on the travels in December, which is probably the main reason why we are going to bet on the home side. To make things even worse for the away team, Jean-Clair Todibo is banned for the match, while all Youcef Atal, Hichem Boudaoui, and Jeremie Boga participate at the 2024 Africa Cup of Nations. The likes of Bouanani, Balde, Thuram, and Diop are sidelined with injuries.
