Correct score prediction: Nantes 1-2 Rennes
Luis Castro’s Nantes have been one of the poorest sides in Ligue 1 this term, winning just once across their four league outings. All four of Nantes’ top-flight fixtures so far have finished 1-0.
Having narrowly avoided relegation last season, Nantes have the chance to get back on track this campaign despite their dismal start, but beating Rennes is going to be no easy task. Les Rennais lost on their last visit to Beaujoire, and haven’t tasted consecutive away H2H defeats since 2005.
Rennes’ away form is of great concern, but their dramatic 3-1 home win over Lyon last weekend certainly helps morale in the dugout as they aim a first win on the road in six away Ligue 1 games. Expect the visitors to beat the hosts by the narrowest of margins to keep their claim for a top six finish.

*odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Nantes have collected just three points after four rounds, and it is unlikely they will add to that tally against the visitors. With odds of 12/5 (3.40), they have a 29.4% chance of success in this Breton derby.
Rennes could go three games unbeaten in the league for the first time since the 2023/24 campaign. Bookmakers back Habib Beye’s men with 11/10 (2.10) odds, suggesting a 47.6% win probability rate.

Meite impressed more than most against Lyon. (Photo by Imago)Meite might just earn his spot in the starting eleven following a match-winning display in the 3-1 against Olympique Lyonnais, where he registered a goal and an assist in his 22-minute cameo. He could prove to be the difference-maker against a faltering Nantes backline.
