Metz vs Stade Rennais Prediction

🔮 Expert Prediction

Metz against Rennes on Saturday afternoon? This one feels like a foregone conclusion, and frankly, it probably should be. Rennes has been on a tear, losing just two of their last 12 Ligue 1 matches, including a recent 3-1 win over Marseille where Amine Gouiri bagged a brace.

Metz, on the other hand, is in a freefall. They’ve dropped seven of their last eight league games, and their last outing was a brutal 5-2 thrashing by Monaco. The key matchup will be how Metz's beleaguered defense, which has conceded 47 goals this season, handles the pace of Rennes' wingers, particularly the electric Doku. Look, Metz just doesn't have the firepower to keep up. Rennes wins this comfortably, 3-0.
