Toulouse vs. Rennes: Match Prediction
In this mid-table clash, I give the edge to the home team. After all, the game will be played on their turf, where they have decent league results. In their last six home matches, Carles Martinez's side only lost to PSG (3-6), winning 3 and drawing 2. Meanwhile, Rennes has been weak on the road, failing to win in seven Ligue 1 away matches.
However, I won't risk betting on a straight home win, as the visitors rarely lose in the current championship and have the most draws in Ligue 1 – 5. In head-to-head encounters, the home advantage plays a key role. In the last 7 home meetings in Ligue 1, Toulouse suffered only 1 defeat (3 wins and 3 draws).
My prediction – Toulouse with a handicap (0)
