Stade Rennes vs Stade Brest Prediction: Brest won't recover too quickly

Stade Rennes are hoping to get another win in the bag when they face Stade Brest this weekend at Roazhon Park. Rennes had a good win last weekend to put an end to a 3-match losing streak while Stade Brest are still searching for a win after back-to-back losses in their last 2 games. When these 2 teams met earlier in the season, they played a goalless draw and neither side would like to see a repeat of that result as they are desperate to win this game. 

Despite the win in the last game against Nantes, Stade Rennes’ results look really horrible. In their last 5 games, they had 4 defeats and just 1 win. And good results are crucial to the team at this point in the season as they are 4 points away from the UEFA Conference League spot. According to the table, they are in 7th with 42 points and their overall records are: 11 wins, 9 draws and 10 losses. 

Rennes were totally dominant in their win over Nantes, as they cruised to a comfortable 3-0 win in the end. All 3 goals came in the second half with Arnaud Kalimuendo scoring in the 67th minute, Benjamin Bourigeaud scoring in the 76th minute and finally Amine Gouiri scoring in the 91st minute. According to stats, Rennes had 56% possession, 5 shots on target and 7 corner kicks. They also had 4 big chances, missed 1 and hit the woodwork once. 

Stade Brest have to turn their poor results around as they can't afford to keep dropping more points at this time of the season. Results from their last 5 games shows they had 2 wins, 2 losses and 1 draw. They suffered both losses in back-to-back league games. And according to the table, Stade Brest are in 3rd place with 53 points and their overall records are: 15 wins, 8 draws and 7 losses. They are just 1 point ahead of LOSC Lille in 4th place right now. 

Stade Brest had a feisty clash against AS Monaco last weekend and they ended up being defeated 2-0 in the end. AS Monaco scored both goals in the 40th and 48th minute of the game and then went on to finish the game with 9 men following 2 red cards in the 91st and 95th minute of the match. In the end stats showed Stade Brest had 56% possession, 2 shots on target and 7 corners. They also failed to create a single big chance all game. 

According to the h2h, in the last 20 meetings between Stade Brest and Stade Rennes, Rennes won 12 matches while Brest won 2 and they drew 6 matches. 

Brest are going to be anxious not to drop any more points and sometimes that can be good or bad. Stade Rennes have the advantage and confidence behind them, so it's hard to see them losing this game. Even if they did, Brest would have to sweat to get the win. 

Rennes are unbeaten in the last 12 meetings and they scored first in 6 of the last 7 meetings. 5 of the last 6 meetings ended with less than 4.5 cards and 5 of the last 7 ended with less than 10.5 corners.
