Team Analysis
Nice will play in this game following a 1-1 Coupe De France drawn game versus USC Corté. The only scorer from Nice was Tanguy Ndombélé (60'). Nice ran out winners after a 5-3 penalty shootout.

Matches involving Nice have tended to be engaging ones lately with a lot of goalmouth action being the norm. Over their past six games, a total of 22 goals have flown in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.67 goals per game) with 8 of those coming from Nice. However, we must now wait to see whether that trend will continue on here in this match.

Rennes will go into this game following a 1-4 Coupe De France win with the eclipse of Girondins de Bordeaux in their most recent game. In that game, Rennes had 67% possession and 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target. For Rennes, the goals were scored by Adrien Truffert (29'), Jordan James (59'), Lorenz Assignon (75') and Arnaud Kalimuendo (79'). Bordeaux got 11 attempts at goal with 4 on target.

A tendency of at least one team not managing to score in games featuring Rennes has been fairly consistent in recent matches. Examining their last 6 meetings shows that this has occurred 5 times. During these clashes, their opponents have hit a goal tally of 5 while Rennes have scored 11.

Odds Analysis
We feel that in this game, Rennes certainly have the ability to breach the defence of this Nice team, but it might not prevent them from conceding a couple at the other end. We reckon that it will be a narrow 2-1 winning score for Nice after 90 minutes. Looking forward to this.

Pick: Nice 2-1 Rennes
