Two sides who are desperate to kick-start their campaigns on Friday night, European outfit Rennes will face off against Bordeaux.

Starting with the hosts, while Rennes might have managed to secure themselves a maiden campaign of European football, they do find themselves in the midst of a recent blip. In their opening 10 Ligue 1 matchups this season, they have recorded five wins, three draws and two defeats, scoring 18 and conceding 14 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 18, they mark their return from November’s international break sat third in the table and six points adrift of top spot. However, as for their recent run of results, Rennes had lost four of their last five matchups across all formats and had managed to win just one of their previous seven appearances. It should also be noted, along with drawing back-to-back blanks, Friday’s hosts have failed to record more than a single strike in six of their last seven contests.

As for the visitors, also enduring what was a sluggish run of form when heading into the international break, Bordeaux are another side who are seeking a real bounce. In their opening 10 Ligue 1 matchups so far this year, they have recorded three wins, three draws and four defeats, scoring nine and conceding 11 in return. Managing to collect a points tally of 12 and holding the second-worst attacking record in the division, they open Friday’s fixtures sat down in 12th and three points adrift of finding a route into the top-half of the table. As for their recent run of results, Bordeaux were previously hit with back-to-back Ligue 1 defeats and managed to collect just three points over their last four outings. Also drawing a blank in their previous two defeats, we’re backing under 2.5 goals on Friday night.
