Match description
Rennes has a clear offensive and control advantage at home: they average 1.73 goals per game, register 5.53 shots on target and have xG 1.84 with 54% possession. Nantes away score only 0.67 goals on average, have 2.8 shots on target and xG 1.00, and the visitors’ shot conversion is 7% versus Rennes’ 11%. In the last 5 matches Rennes scored 10 goals and averages 2.0 points per game, while Nantes scored 3 goals and averages 0.6 pts/game (0 wins, 3 draws, 2 losses). Defensively Nantes concedes 1.47 goals away and has a -12 goal difference on the road, whereas Rennes concedes 1.00 at home and has a +11 difference; additionally Nantes fail to score in 53% of away matches versus 20% of Rennes’ home matches without a goal. Considering the higher xG (1.84 vs 1.00), greater number of shots on target (5.53 vs 2.8) and superiority in form (2.0 vs 0.6 pts per game), I predict a Rennes win.
