Rennes vs Strasbourg Predictions and Betting Tips
reindeer host Strasbourg at Roazhon Park in League 1 Wednesday, February 1, looking to bounce back from their latest setback.
Les Rouge et Noir lost for the third time in five league games, losing 2-1 to Lorient on Saturday. Bruno Genesio’s side lost 2-0 in the first half, with Flavien Tait’s strike for the visitors midway through the second stanza proving too little too late.
With 37 points from 20 games, Rennes are fifth in the standings, 12 places above their next rivals.
Strasbourg, meanwhile, are mired in the relegation zone at the moment, having collected just 15 points in their league campaign.
Racing have won just twice, including a 2-1 win at Lyon two weeks ago. It was also their first victory under Mathieu Le Scornet, who took the reins on January 9, the same day Julien Stephan was fired after overseeing just one win in 18 league appearances.
