Bitesize Prediction: Rennes vs Nantes – 26/04/26

Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Rennes win

Odds: 4/9 @ Pribet

Looking to skyrocket their way into the Champions League spots this weekend, Rennes will welcome Nantes to Roazhon Park on Sunday afternoon.

Starting with the hosts, embarking on what has become a real Ligue 1 romp, Rennes certainly find the mood in their camp at a season-high. Last seen laying down what was a major marker as they cruised their way to a 3-0 romp away at Europa Conference League semi-finalists Strasbourg, Franck Haise’s side will be dreaming of a repeat performance this weekend. In fact, the French high-flyers open Sunday’s showdown sat within touching distance of skyrocketing their way into the Champions League spots. Marking their return from March’s fortnight interval with an action-packed 4-3 win away at Brest, Rennes have won each of their previous three consecutive Ligue 1 appearances by an aggregate score of 9-4. Likewise, including a dominant 4-0 romp against Nice last month, the former Lens boss has seen his squad suffer just a sole defeat from their last nine straight outings – a purple patch that stems back to February 7th.

As for the visitors, completely blown away against reigning Ligue 1 champions PSG last time out as they slumped to a routine 3-0 drumming, Nantes know that their fate can officially be confirmed this weekend. Sat nine points adrift of top-flight safety, the Canaries will certainly be bracing themselves for another monumental challenge when they travel to Roazhon Park on Sunday afternoon. Heading into March’s international break with a rollercoaster 3-2 loss at home against Strasbourg, Vahid Halilhodzic’s downbeat squad have failed to win any of their previous seven straight appearances. Likewise, the former Morocco boss has seen his side muster just a sole win from any of their last 14 outings across all fronts – a rut that stems back to January 4th. Pencilled in as a real underdog contender this weekend, it should also be noted that Nantes have lost all of their previous seven consecutive trips to Rennes by an aggregate score of 15-5.
