Montpellier continue their search for a win after 3 matches without a win. They lost their last match against Lille away from home and now welcome Stade Rennais to the Stade de la Mosson. Stade Rennais grabbed a huge win against Reims last weekend after two successive defeats. Rennais were victorious the last time these two met and they won by 3-0 scoreline. Will they be able to do a double or will the hosts finally grab that important win? On the table, Rennes are 6th, while Montpellier are 13th.

Montpellier (LLDWW)

Montpellier have all to play for when they face Stade Rennais here. They are without a win in their last 3 games. Their latest match ended in a 2-1 defeat against Lille. Montpellier were first to score through Issiaga Sylla in the 24th minute. But in the second half Lille came out stronger, scoring two quick goals in the 70th and 72nd minute. Jonathan David and Remy Cabella were the goal scorers. Statistics shows Montpellier had only 31% possession, 1 shot on target and 4 corner kicks throughout the match.

Stade de Rennais (WLLWD)

Stade de Rennais will be hoping to recreate their heroics in the previous match here. They won Stade de Reims last game 3-0 after losing 2 matches in succession. Rennais were too much for the Reims team and they were 2 goals up in the first 45 minutes. Jeremy Doku scored the brace in the 9th and 19th minutes. The final goal came through Arthur Theate in the 68th minute. Rennais had 51% possession, 8 shots on target and 6 corner kicks.

Expert Betting Tips

It is understandable to feel inclined to a Rennais win, but it's quite risky. Rennais are better than Montpellier in every respect, but they have had their own share of struggles. They have struggled for consistency and they might slip up here again. Their meetings have produced at least two goals and I expect this game to provide goals.
