These predictions for the Strasbourg vs Rennes clash were made by Bookmaker Ratings.

There have been over 2.5 goals scored in five of the last six home games Strasbourg have played in Ligue 1. There have also been three or more goals scored in three of the last five away games played by Rennes. So we can expect a minimum of two goals in this encounter.
Strasbourg are on a bad streak of four straight losses at home in Ligue 1, and are in need of a lift, so as not to get sucked into the relegation battle which is shaping up into an interesting fight. Largely due to their recent losing streak, Strasbourg find themselves in 12th place with 29 points( just four above the drop) from 26 games. They will look to channel their April 2022 home win against Rennes and they look to put an end to an ugly streak..
Rennes on the other hand are still within reach of European places, with only three points currently separating them from at least a Europa Conference league contention. They have their recent undefeated away streak to thank, having not lost in six away league games, including draws against top six sides PSG and Lille. Rennes are currently 8th on the log with 39 points from 26 games.
