Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest there isn't an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Metz and Rennes will find the net twice at least between them. Goals have flowed freely when they've gone head-to-head in the past, and neither László Bölöni or Julien Stephan has subjected their supporters to too many 0-0s lately either. The bookmakers predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.30 equating to about a 73% probability.

An away win looks like the most likely outcome in the win/draw/win market, with our predictive algorithm suggesting there’s a 46% chance of Rennes coming away with a win.
