In the weeks just prior to our Stade Rennais vs Bordeaux betting tips, Rennes have won three matches in succession, securing narrow wins over Lille, Dijon, and Montpellier. Their form at home must be a real concern for manager Christian Gourcuff, however – his team have won just one of their five league games in front of their own fans this season.

Les Girondins have drawn many parallels with their opponent’s home results with their own statistics on the road. Jocelyn Gourvennec’s men have picked up just one win in their six contests on their travels. In recent weeks, their Ligue 1 performances have taken a nosedive too. Bordeaux haven’t won in four, losing three of that quartet to PSG, Amiens, and Monaco. Despite being placed in 8^th, only four teams in the division have conceded more goals than Les Girondins (17).

Stade Rennais vs Bordeaux Prediction and Betting Advice

A quick glance at this history book points us in the direction today’s Stade Rennais vs Bordeaux bets should go. In the teams’ encounters in the 2016/17 season, both league face-offs ended 1-1. In fact, four of the last five meetings between our featured clubs have ended all square. If you want to look even further back, the draw stats stand at six in nine matches.

The sides’ results at Roazhon Park are of particular interest – the scores have ended level in 100% of the last three clashes there between the perennial underachievers. With little to choose between them once again in 2017/18, we are predicting history to repeat itself which should see a share of the spoils on Friday. After some digging around we found the best Ligue 1 football odds to match our forecast at Unibet.

Once again the historical head-to-heads provide plenty of evidence to support the next of our free Stade Rennais vs Bordeaux predictions today. Remarkably, in eight of the last nine match-ups between our analysed teams, both sides have managed to score at least one goal. The only contest where one team failed to score in the last nine was back in January 2016 when Les Girondins trounced their visitors to the Nouveau Stade 4-0.

This season the home team have only kept two clean sheets in twelve matches while their rivals have stopped the opposition from registering in only four of their twelve fixtures. With Friday’s game on the horizon, we expect the respective defences’ lack of confidence and tactical organisation to play a huge part again, eventually leading to goals at both ends of the pitch in Rennes. We discovered the most valuable odds at Betfair, so we recommend using that bookie when backing the second of our French football predictions.
