Forecast for Stade de Reims - Stade Rennais

In one of the matches of the 16th round in the French League 1, Reims hosts Rennes.

The hosts have not shown anything special in terms of performance in the previous few seasons.

Obviously, the Reims team will play more of a filler role in the standings .

Because just before the season is cut in half, the hosts are wandering in the quagmire of mediocrity .

And I would say that they definitely have a hard time going against the top 6 teams in the standings.

And that's where the guests are.

Before this round , Rennes are in 3rd position in the standings. And they go out for a must win in their away game.

Any other result against such weak opposition will be detrimental to their ambitions to challenge Lance for 2nd place.

Given the form that Bruno Genesio's players have shown during the World Cup break ( 3 consecutive wins in controls), I think we can trust them.

Prediction: 2.

In contrast to the visitors, Reims is having a controversial season so far.

And to date, it is closer to the danger zone than to the Europa Zone.

In numerical terms, that would mean 11th place. With a difference of 2 points between them and Clermont, who is 10th.

Reims managed to beat Sochaux and Charleroi 3-0 in two of their friendlies during the World Cup.

Before losing 1-2 to Lance less than a week ago.

Reims have won just three games so far in the 2022/23 Ligue 1 season.

Which is the fewest wins of any team in the top 14.

Something more. They are the team with the second weakest attack in the top 14, scoring just 16 goals.

As only Nice, who are 9th, have scored less.

Rennes enter their match against Reims at Stade Auguste Delon third in the standings.

The main goal of the Britons is to catch up and if possible overtake Lance , who is now second and has a 5 point lead.

As it looks like it will be overwhelming for the other teams to catch up with PSG who are likely to win the league title with relative ease.

Stade Rennais has had another excellent season so far. Having won nine and lost just two so far this campaign.

At the same time, only PSG have scored more goals than them.

And with only 14 goals conceded , only Lance, Marseille and again PSG have conceded fewer goals than them.

Bruno Genesio's side played 3 control matches during the World Cup break, winning all three.

That run started with a 4-3 win against Celtic before beating Feyenoord 2-1 and Brest 3-1.
