Caen are in a precarious position heading into the final two match days in the French top flight, as they sit just three points better off than Dijon, who occupy the relegation play-off spot.
Given that Caen have one of the worst goal differences in the relegation fight, the hosts are unable to leave anything to chance, as we highlight in our Caen vs Rennes preview.
• Metz 2-2 Caen
• Caen 0-2 Nantes
• Caen 1-5 Marseille
• Toulouse 0-1 Caen
Caen picked up a vital three points on the road to Toulouse last time out, with the relegation-threatened side to be fortunate in the fact that they face another safe mid-table team this week.
Rennes have only lost two of their last 10 matches in Ligue 1, but their position in tenth should mean that some of their players may not be motivated to the same level, which is something we have taken into account for our Caen vs Rennes predictions.
• Rennes 2-0 Lille
• Saint-Etienne 1-1 Rennes
• Bastia 1-0 Rennes
• Rennes 1-0 Montpellier
Rennes haven’t won on the road in league action since October of last year, and have failed to score in five of their last seven away trips, leaving our Caen vs Rennes picks as the obvious choice.
Caen need the three points this Sunday, while Rennes are perfectly safe, with the hosts likely to be able to take their win over Toulouse into this clash to secure a win that should see them safe.
