In the upcoming Ligue 1 match.
Rheims (city in France)
fig. be prepared to face up to
Rennes
This is undoubtedly a much-anticipated match. In terms of the basic conditions of the two teams, although Reims is a mid-tier team, its overall strength should not be underestimated, while Rennes is a traditional strong team with high competitiveness.
Reims, as a mid-table team, is not as expensive as Rennes, but the overall strength of the squad is balanced, and its performance was stable last season, and has maintained a similar level this season. Despite being in the middle of the table, they have already completed the relegation task in advance, and their intention for this match is doubtful.
However, the home advantage of Reims cannot be ignored, their performance at home has been relatively stable, with a certain ability to get points. In contrast, Rennes, as a traditional strong team, has much higher overall strength and value than Reims. The team's performance has been stable in recent years, and they have been able to stay near the European qualification zone.
Last season, the team performed well and finally finished fourth in the league and gained a UEFA Cup qualification at the same time. However, the team's form has declined this season, and now they are only in the ninth place in the table, losing the chance to qualify for the European Cup. Nevertheless, Rennes' offense is still strong, which is one of the highlights of the team.
From the perspective of the two teams' recent form, Reims hosted the rival Marseille in the last round of the league, and finally beat the opponent 1-0 with excellent defense and efficient offense, ending the previous winless trend, and the morale has been significantly improved.
However, the team's offense still needs to be strengthened, and there are some holes in the defense. Rennes hosted Lens in the last round of the league, and finally drew 1-1 with the opponent, with a slight ups and downs in their recent form. The team's offense is active, but the defense has some problems.
From a comprehensive point of view, Rennes is slightly better in terms of overall strength and recent form. Although both sides do not have a strong intention to play in this match, Rennes' attacking ability and away performance are still worth looking forward to. Therefore, it is more likely that Rennes will go undefeated in this match.
Of course, soccer matches are full of uncertainties, and the final result still depends on the clinical performance and tactical arrangement.
