Bookmaker ratings: Prediction two: Rennes goals handicap (-1) – 1.66
Despite recent poor results, Rennes are still the favourites for this match, also playing on home soil. We expect them to grab 3 points from this encounter.
The hosts are the better team on paper and their win here is imperative. Therefore, we think it is a good handicap to deduct a goal from them.
Rennes have struggled to start the new campaign, with only a point from their two opening matches (D1, L1).
They played out a frustrating draw against Monaco last week (1:1), although Les Rennais played over 75 minutes against ten men.
However, Rennes players will be under pressure, as they are on the brink of back-to-back opening home defeats in the top-flight for the first time since 1991/92.
On the other hand, the newly-promoted Ajaccio kicked off their Ligue 1 season with the same results as Rennes (D1, L1).
Coming into this game, Olivier Pantaloni’s men have claimed their first top-flight point, having drawn against Lens (0:0).
The fact that the last time Ajaccio beat Rennes in an away match was in the 1969/70 season doesn’t inspire hope that they will clinch their first win here in over 50 years.
Goalkeeper, Steve Mandanda will miss up to three weeks after being forced off against Monaco.
For the guests, there are no reported injuries or suspensions.
Rennes: Alemdar; Theate, Truffert, Rodon, Taore, Santamaria, Tait, Majer, Terrier, Laborde, Bourigeaud
Ajaccio: Leroy; Diallo, Alphonse, Gonzalez, Avinel, Mangani, Bayala, Marchetti, Nouri, Hamouma, Idrissy
For bookies, the hosts are overwhelming favourites. If you are looking for safe bets, you can try “Rennes double chance” outcome. This bet has odds of 1.10 at 22Bet.
The last match between these teams ended in a 3:1 win for Ajaccio in February 2014.
