Rennes 19/20 to beat Angers in Sunday’s Ligue 1 matchup

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Rennes win

Odds: 19/20 @ 888sport

Looking to extend on what has been a rampant run of form, Rennes will make the trip to Angers on Sunday lunchtime.

Starting with the hosts, last seen putting in another worrying display, Angers are in the midst of what has become a recent rut. In their opening 11 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded two wins, two draws and seven defeats, scoring 13 and conceding 27 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of eight from a possible 33, they open this weekend’s top-flight fixtures sat down in 19th and with their goal difference keeping them in the relegation zone. As for their recent run of results, last seen getting hit with a 3-2 defeat away at Toulouse, Angers have now lost each of their previous three Ligue 1 matchups, a run that has seen them ship nine strikes. Likewise, it should also be noted, Sunday’s hosts have lost four of their last five contests on home soil.

As for the visitors, only continuing on what has been a real purple patch, Rennes should be smelling the chance to lay down another marker here. In their opening 11 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded six wins, three draws and just a pair of defeats, scoring 23 and conceding 11 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 21, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fifth in the standings and just two points adrift of breaking into the top-four. As for their recent run of results, last seen picking up a 3-2 win at home against Lyon, Rennes have now won each of their previous five matchups across all formats. Likewise, with Sunday’s guests also enjoying an extended 11-match unbeaten run, we’re backing an away victory here.
