There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Ligue 1 table so far. Here's the Nice - Rennes latest:
- Nice have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- All of Rennes's away-matches have had more than 1,5 goals.
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Europa League. That game was an away game at Hapoel Be'er Sheva, so at least Nice are thankful to return home in this one. Game on!
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Rennes, who are travelling more than 1200 kilometers to play this game.
Nice form and stats
Nice have played 6 Ligue 1 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 2-1-3 (wins-draws-losses). The Nice manager A. Ursea might feel some added pressure to get something from this game after two straight home defeats.
Nice faced defeat in their previous match, away at Hapoel Be'er Sheva (0-1). Preceding that game was the away draw at Reims that finished 0-0.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Nice as they are travelling to their away game against Nimes in the Ligue 1. That match is three days after this one.
Nice are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 7 goals in 6 games. With more than 1,5 conceded goals on average, the Nice defense is not exactly impregnable. 11 goals conceded from 6 games. You can find more goal stats on the Statistics tab above.
Rennes form and stats
Playing away, Rennes have won 2 games, drawn 3 and suffered 1 defeat in the Ligue 1 this season.
This game can not go any worse than the last one, a Champions League home defeat versus Sevilla with 1-3 on the scoreboard. Preceding that, the 0-2 home loss versus Lens.
A quick return to home after this game, as Rennes are hosting Olympique Marseille in the Ligue 1 only three days away.
The travelling fans enjoy Rennes's attacking play in away games, having scored 10 goals in 6 league matches away. Rennes have conceded 8 goals in these away matches.
Head 2 Head
Head-2-head stats last ten meetings: six - four - zero (Nice wins - draws - Rennes wins). As for goals, five matches ended with three or more goals (over 2,5), five had two or less.Top Goalscorers
