Rennes form and stats

The home supporters can't complain about results here at Roazhon Park as Rennes have scored 37 goals to get 39 points from 17 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 1 are 13-0-4 (wins-draws-losses). Hopes of three in a row are alive for Rennes after consecutive victories at their own ground.

Rennes faced defeat in their previous match, away at Nice (1-2). Midfielder Bourigeaud was the best player on the team with a rating of 8.64 (out of ten) in that game. Bourigeaud scored one goal, hit five key passes, dribled past the opponent 1 of 2 times and had 45 successful passes (of 55 total).

Before that game, the 4-2 home victory against Angers SCO.

The home team are expected to win this game about three out of four times, according to the bookmaker odds. When checking the database for Rennes home games with this odds we find 11 games with a similar winning chance. Resulting in 10 wins, 1 draw and 0 defeats. Looking at the victories, 8 matches were won by at least two goals.

With an average of more than two goals per home game in the league (37 in 17 games), Rennes's attacking play is working. From these home matches, Rennes have conceded only 14 goals.

Troyes form and stats

The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Troyes so far with only 10 points returning home. The records show 3-1-13 (win-draw-lose).

Troyes failed to get anything from their last game, a home match vs Paris Saint Germain (placed 1st) that ended with defeat 1-3. Troyes goalkeeper Gallon was glad for a super day at work vs Paris Saint Germain, but despite pulling off nine saves the beating could not be avoided.

A loss against Nice was the result prior to that, in a home game.

We have done a similar check as we did with the hometeam, looking up recent matches where Troyes played away with similar odds. This revealed 5 games. The visitors overcame the odds to win 1 time, 0 were draws and the home team won as expected 4 times.

Troyes have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 17 league away games 25 goals have been scored. The opposition has been scoring high and low on Troyes's goalkeeper in away games this season, as they have let in 45 goals in 17 travels. Troyes has visited these top teams five times, and 4 of 5 has ended with 2 goals or more!

Head 2 Head

Rennes have not lost in the last 7 matches (3-4-0) against Troyes.

Troyes - Rennes 1-1 was the story when this pair of teams previously did battle, also in this season.
