Nice Win or Draw and Under 3.5 Goals
Nice are on a great home form winning their last four outings at the Allianz Riviera. Moreover, according to the stats, there is a 50% chance for a home win. In addition, the statistics show that there is a 75% chance to see under 3.5 goals in this match.
Nice +0.5 Goals Handicap
Ten times this season Nice covered the +0.5 goals handicap with seven wins and three draws. Also, in the last 12 h2h meetings, Nice won seven times and drew four covering the handicap in all of these fixtures.
Anytime Correct Score 1-1
Matches between Nice and Rennes are usually close as in the last five of their last six meetings the 1-1 result was present. We predict Saturday’s games also to be a close one since both teams are battling for the top second third and fourth positions.
{rb_odds_match_rates}
Starting the season with a five-match unbeaten run didn’t last long for Nice as they lost eight times since then. Moreover, after averaging 1.34 goals per game during this season, Nice scored five in their last seven Ligue 1 fixtures.
However, coach Christophe Galtier will work hard to keep his team’s home record intact as they won their last four outings at the Allianz Riviera. Moreover, the Eaglets’ superior record against Rennes in the last 12 meetings, will be a huge confidence boost needed in this encounter.

On the other hand, Rennes started the current campaign losing three of their first six fixtures collecting five points in the process. A nine-match unbeaten run followed, however, and the Red and Blacks won seven and drew two which led them to the top three positions.
With a 6-1 win over Metz last time out, Rennes are on a five-match winning streak. Nonetheless, Les Rennais are not at their best when they play on the road. To point out, Rennes lost six of their 14 away games and more importantly, they have not won in Nice since December 2014.
Our Prediction for Nice vs Rennes
Looking at the h2h meetings in recent years, Nice should be the clear favorites to win. However, the bookies are slightly favoring Rennes to grab the three points. Still, we prefer to back Nice for a win and will combine it with a draw and under 3.5 goals.
Safe Bet
Two of the last three h2h meetings saw one or more goals in the first half. Moreover, Rennes’ last five games also saw the same number of goals in the first half. With odds of 1.84, we predict the first half between Nice vs Rennes will see one or more goals.
Quick Rich
There is a 21% chance for a draw according to the statistics. In addition, twice in the last six meetings Nice and Rennes drew. Not to mention the critical status of this match in terms of clinching a European spot. Hence, with odds of 3.56 at Vbet, we will back a draw as our choice for a quick profit.
Nice vs Rennes First Goalscorer
Martin Terrier scored 16 goals in Ligue 1 this season in 28 fixtures and is Rennes’ top scorer. Since the start of the season, Terrier was the first goalscorer on six occasions. Thus, we predict Terrier to be the player to open the scoring account on Saturday.
