Alongside the Premier League, the top football league in France is in full swing. Aspirant for the TOP 3 guaranteeing the Champions League group Rennes goes to the ground of Reims. What to expect from the match and what to bet on?

Reims is picking up points mainly for draws, having won only two of the last ten league rounds. They are quietly in the middle of the table, specifically in 11th place. It is just four points away from the relegation zone.

Rennes, on the other hand, are having an incredible year. It hasn’t lost in 17 games in all competitions, including 20 in December. It is third in the table, but only one point ahead of fourth-placed Marseille.

Reims’ key figures

Florian Balogun, scorer of eight goals and two assists, is thriving on loan from Arsenal. Japanese winger Junya Ito, on loan again from Genk, has been on the scoresheet for six goals, scoring four times and assisting twice.

Key figures of Rennes

Winger Martin Terrier is in contention for a big transfer, with 11 shots to his name, adding four assists. Talented offensive all-rounder and under-21 national team mainstay Amine Gouiri has opened the net eight times and assisted five times.

Reims is struggling in attack, with 16 goals scored, the second worst offensive performance in the top 14 of Ligue 1.

Rennes is the opposite. With 31 goals scored, only PSG can’t compete, otherwise it is the sovereign top scorer. In eight of the last ten games it has managed to score at least two goals.

Considering Rennes’ season-long form, the disposition of their midfielder Lovro Majer, who returned from the World Cup in good form and with a bronze medal, and Reims’ not-so-functional offense, I think the visitors will win.
