Rennes are coming into this match in truly poor shape, having lost their last four games in a row. They have been conceding several goals in those defeats, which suggests their defense is really struggling right now. Nice, on the other hand, have been hard to beat lately, with three draws in their last five matches, including two goalless stalemates. They have not been winning many games either, but they are proving to be a stubborn side that does not give away many goals.

When these two teams meet, history suggests there are usually goals. Their recent encounters have seen plenty of scoring, with matches like a 4-0 win for Nice and a 3-2 victory for Rennes. However, given Rennes's current losing streak and Nice's solid, hard-to-break-down form, this match looks set to be a very tight and cautious affair. It is likely to be a draw, with both teams finding it difficult to score.
