Nimes vs Rennes Predictions and Betting Tips
French football fans will be treated to a lot of football action on Sunday with seven matches scheduled to feature. Nimes and Rennes go at it in the afternoon with both sides looking to further increase their current points tally. Which side will bag the spoils in this highly-anticipated affair?
Nimes, having gotten off to the most ideal start to the 2020/2021 season couldn't replicate their display on matchday two. The Crocodiles will be keen on bouncing back from that loss as they head into this game.
The Nimes-based outfit fell short to Nantes in their past game much to the despair of the Nimes supporters. Nimes Olympique had a poor first-half as they were down by two goals at the end of the 45 minutes. Following Imran Souza's red card, Nimes took advantage of the extra man pulling one back with 57 minutes of play gone. From then on, chances were few and far between for the away side as they recorded their first loss of the season.
Rennes, on the other hand, would be eager to further stretch their unbeaten run to three games after copping four points from their opening two fixtures. Julien Stephan, however, needs to work on his side's discipline with a Rennes player being sent off in both league games played.
Although they finished the game with 10 men, they managed to secure all three points. A Damian Le Tallec own goal and a late Camavinga strike were enough to seal all three points
Terrier and Boey would both be unavailable with the pair out via suspension.
Nimes possible starting XI:
Reynet; Meling, Martines, Landre, Ripart; Deaux, Miguel; Ferhat, Benrahou, Phillipoteaux, Denkey
Rennes possible starting XI:
Salin; Maouassa, Aguerd, Da Silva, Soppy, Nzonzi, Camavinga, Bourigeaud; Raphina, Niang, Honou
Nimes vs Rennes Prediction: 1-1
Nimes produced a fine display in their first home game this season as they ran out 4-0 winners against Stade Brestois. Stade Rennes, however, should be a tougher opponent for the home side given their recent exploits. Our expert tipsters don't see any side with a considerable advantage as both sides should settle for a point each at the end of the 90 minutes.
