Rennes - Clermont Foot Predictions

Prediction: Rennes or draw
Best odds: 1.14

As the Ligue 1 season progresses, an intriguing clash is on the horizon at Roazhon Park where Rennes will take on Clermont Foot. With predictions hinting at a favorable outcome for the home side, fans are eager to see if Rennes can continue their solid form or if Clermont Foot will upset the odds and steer away from the relegation zone.

Key Players - Rennes

Rennes' success this season can be attributed to the standout performances of several key players. Upfront, Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga has been a crucial figure, boasting a rating of 6.88 with 5 goals to his name. His ability to find the back of the net has been instrumental, with 13 shots on target from 22 attempts. Joining him in the attack is Matthis Abline, who, despite scoring only once, has shown potential with 6 shots on target and a matching rating of 6.88.

In midfield, Ludovic Blas has been a linchpin for the team, contributing 3 goals and an assist. His overall playmaking ability is underscored by his 13 shots on target and 9 key passes, reflected in his 6.92 rating.

Key Players - Clermont Foot

Clermont Foot has its own set of aces, with Grejohn Kyei leading the line. Kyei has a rating of 6.62, and while he's only found the net once, his presence in the attack cannot be ignored. In the midfield, Yohann Magnin has been a consistent performer, with a 6.72 rating, 1 goal, and 6 key passes. His contributions in connecting the play have been vital for Clermont.

The experience of Maxime Gonalons cannot be overlooked either. With a rating of 6.78, his defensive work in midfield and ability to dictate the tempo will be crucial in Clermont's quest for points.

Recent Form

Rennes has been in a rich vein of form, indicated by their recent results of "WWWWD", placing them 9th in the league with 28 points. Their goal difference of +5 suggests a balanced approach between attack and defense. Clermont Foot, on the other hand, is in 17th place with a struggle for consistency as their recent form "DWLLD" shows. With only 15 points and a goal difference of -14, they are clearly in a precarious position.

Head-to-Head History

The head-to-head record between these two teams favors Rennes, with recent victories including a 3-1 win at Clermont's ground on December 20, 2023, and a 2-0 win at Roazhon Park on February 19, 2023. Clermont's last victory against Rennes was a narrow 2-1 win at home on January 11, 2023, showing that while Rennes has the upper hand, Clermont can be competitive.

Prediction

The predictions for this match lean heavily towards Rennes, considering both their form and position in the league. With a "Double chance: Rennes or draw" advice, it seems likely that Rennes will not lose this fixture. The statistical analysis gives Rennes a 50% chance of winning, matching the chance for a draw, and leaving Clermont Foot with no predicted chance of winning.

In terms of goals, the predictions suggest fewer than 3.5 goals for Rennes and fewer than 2.5 for Clermont. The overall percentages, which incorporate form, attacking, and defensive capabilities, also favor Rennes with 69.5% compared to Clermont's 30.5%.

Taking into account the team's current form, the head-to-head history, and individual player performances, the final prediction is a strong showing from Rennes. It is expected that Arnaud Kalimuendo-Muinga and Ludovic Blas will be influential in securing a win or at the very least, a draw for Rennes. Clermont Foot will need a standout performance from the likes of Maxime Gonalons to disrupt Rennes' rhythm and snatch a result.

In conclusion, the match seems set to further solidify Rennes' mid-table position while Clermont Foot will have to dig deep to avoid slipping further towards relegation. Expect a competitive encounter with Rennes likely to emerge with at least a point from this fixture.
