Rennes and Metz will be putting on the line their contrasting ambitions when they clash in Ligue 1 this Sunday. Seventh placed Rennes play host seeking points to get into the top six as bottom placed Metz battle for survival. Let’s have a look at the prediction ahead of the match.
Rennes will be ken on bouncing back after their four-game winning run was brought to a halt last week. Les Rouge et Noirs were handed a 2-1 defeat at Lille, their seventh loss leaving them outside the top six by goal difference.
At 43 points and with eight straight wins against Metz, the hosts will sure be expected to step up.
Metz have had a torrid return to Ligue 1 and come here only targeting their fourth league win of the season. One win in their last 10 meetings with Rennes means this will be a tall order for the visitors.
They are fresh from a 4-3 home loss against Toulouse a match they should have won at least a point from. Les Grenats conceded in stoppage time when they had looked likely to claim a 3-3 draw.
Their fifth straight defeat left them 14 points adrift of safety and it seems almost certain they will be dropping to Ligue 2.

Our Rennes vs Metz Prediction
Rennes will go into this game as clear favorites, and their ambition to get into the European football slots will definitely gain some steps here. The hosts have dominated this clash, winning each of the last eight meetings.
Going by their recent form as well as Metz’s struggles, it will be a massive shocker if this doesn’t go the home team’s way. Additionally, Metz have had their troubles in attack, failing to score in five of their last seven matches. With that, our prediction for Rennes v Metz is for Rennes to win to nil.
