Rennes 13/10 to beat Angers in Saturday’s Ligue 1 contest

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Rennes win

Odds: 13/10 @ 888sport

Looking to build on their recent purple patch, Rennes will make the trip to Ligue 1 strugglers Angers on Saturday lunchtime.

Starting with the hosts, despite managing to extend on their Coupe de France adventure, Angers have endured a Ligue 1 sluggish patch on either side of the international break. In their 32 top-flight matchups so far this season, they have recorded 11 wins, eight draws and 13 defeats, scoring 34 and conceding 47 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 41, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat 11th in the table and a single point adrift of breaking into the top-half. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-0 drumming against Lyon on the road, Angers have failed to win any of their last four Ligue 1 contests. More worrying, along with scoring just a single strike on their winless run, Saturday’s hosts have recorded just a single victory in their last 10 top-flight matchups.

As for the visitors, while it might seem too late for a European charge, Rennes do find themselves enjoying a recent purple patch. In their 32 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded 13 wins, nine draws and 10 defeats, scoring 40 and conceding 35 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 48, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat seventh in the table and holding a six-point buffer from falling out of the top-half of the table. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 1-0 win against Nantes on home soil, Rennes are unbeaten in their last four Ligue 1 matchups, collecting 10 points. Given the recent in gulf between the two sides, we’re backing an away victory for Saturday’s guests this weekend.
