OGC Nice and Stade Rennais meet in Round 34 of Ligue 1 at the Allianz Riviera on Saturday (May 6). Les Rennais will look to pick up their first away win since March and move into the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification places.
Nice stopped the rot in Ligue 1 last Sunday with a hard-earned 1-0 win over Troyes at the Stade de l'Aube. Didier Digard’s men were on a seven-game winless streak across competitions since mid-March. With 48 points from 33 games, Nice are ninth in Ligue 1, level on points with tenth-placed Lorient.
Rennais, meanwhile, made it two straight home wins last time out, as they edged out last-placed Angers 4-2 at the Stade Raymond-Kopa. However, Bruno Genesio’s side have struggled on the road, winning just one of their four outings.
Trending
With 56 points from 33 games, Rennes are sixth in the league table, three points behind fifth-placed Lille in the UEFA Conference League qualification spot.
