Prediction: 2-0
Angers
Saturday’s football game at Roazhon Park pits together Rennes and Angers, the two teams who were beaten by Lille and Nimes respectively on the opening day of the season. Rennes experienced all sorts of problems at the back in the defeat to les Dogues, but it is well known that they are not regarded as good travelers. Les Rouges et Noirs were producing fine showings at home last term and it is no surprise they are seen as favourites to win Saturday’s clash. A man to watch in the home team will be Diafra Sakho, who played for West Ham United from 2014 to 2017. Les Scoistes struggle on the travels as well and seeing that their defence was pretty shaky in the 4-3 loss to Nimes, we believe that there is a big value in betting on Rennes this time out.

Highlighted Player (Ludovic Baal):
Ludovic Baal is a left-footed football player who was born on May 24, 1988. Baal was born in Paris, but he is a product of the Le Mans youth academy and it has to be noted that he made 12 appearances for the club in his first season with the MMArena outfit. His main position is left-back, but he is capable of playing as a left midfielder as well. Considering that he is a French-born player, Ludovic Baal was illegible to play for both France and the French Guayana national team.

He found the net in a 4-1 win over Anguilla, with Gary Pigree scoring a hat-trick for French Guayana.
