Reims vs Rennes Prediction – Betting Tips – May 19, 2024
Under the temporary stewardship of Samba Diawara, Reims have shown noticeable improvements, particularly in their defensive organization. With just one goal conceded in their recent matches, Diawara’s tactics have starkly contrasted with the porous defense seen during the last regime where Reims allowed nine goals in three games. This solid defensive stance could play a pivotal role as Reims hosts Rennes in the concluding round of Ligue 1.
Rennes, positioned slightly above Reims in the standings, faces its worst season in a decade, regardless of the upcoming match outcome. Historically, they last concluded a Ligue 1 season with fewer than 50 points in 2013/14. Currently, both teams have no stakes in climbing into the top echelons, but pride and tactical positions for the next season play into their motivations.
Reims boasts an impressive record against Rennes at home, being undefeated in six of their last seven encounters. Coupled with their current form and the uplift in morale under Diawara, Reims is poised to potentially secure all three points in this fixture.
Half-Time Insights
