Prediction: 3-0
Troyes
Rennes play host to Troyes at their Roazhon Park in the Ligue 1 round 35. Les Rouges et Noirs have been having their ups and downs of late, with the team producing much better showings at home than on the travels and they are seen as hot favourites to win Sunday’s clash. Midfielder Christopher Wooh is banned for the match, while all Birger Meling, Desire Doue, Adrien Truffert, and Xeka remain on the sidelines with injuries.
Meanwhile, Troyes have not been competitive at this level and, as a result, they suffered relegation to Ligue 2. Considering that the visitors have nothing to play for in the season finale, anything but a routine home win would be a big surprise. The likes of Renaud Ripart, Abdu Conte, and Karim Azamoum are out of contention through injuries, speaking of the visiting team.
