On Sunday night, Ligue One leaders Nice and Rennes clash at the Allianz Riviera in one of the biggest games of the weekend in the French top flight.
Nice
The home team have started the new French top-flight campaign in good form, as they currently sit top of the table, a point clear of reigning champions PSG in the standings.
A 1-0 win at Clermont means that Nice are unbeaten in 13 games in the French top-flight, having recorded victories in six of their last seven league outings.
Nice’s recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last ten outings.
The fact that Francesco Farioli’s team has kept clean sheets in seven of their previous eight matches in Ligue One has been a significant factor in the low-scoring games.
Their recent home record in the French top-flight has been good, as Nice are unbeaten in their last eight matches, having kept four straight clean sheets.
Rennes
The visitor’s recent league form has been poor of late, as they head into this clash on the back of just one win in their last nine matches in the French top-flight.
However, six of their previous nine league games have ended in draws.
Despite their poor recent form in Ligue One, they are just three points adrift of the European spots in the French top flight.
Rennes recent away record in the league has been mixed, as although they have won just one of their last four matches on their travels, a 2-1 defeat at Lorient in their previous away match in Ligue One ended a five-game unbeaten run on their travels in Ligue One.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts these two teams will cancel each other out and produce a low-scoring draw in this clash.
