Rennes face Angers in a Ligue 1 game at the Roazhon Park this Sunday. Rennes are currently in 12th place, while Angers are three spots below them in 15th.

With both sides desperate for points, then, this could be a crucial game towards the bottom of the table.

So, who will come out on top?

Rennes vs Angers Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

Rennes have won five of their last six meetings with Angers, last losing to them back in 2021. To find Angers' last win at the Roazhon Park, meanwhile, you'd need to rewind back to October 2020, during the COVID-19 period.
After a thumping 5-0 win over Saint-Etienne to end November on a high, Rennes came back down with a bang last weekend. They fell 1-0 to Nantes, giving them a record of four losses in their last five games. To add to this, coach Jorge Sampaoli was sent off after he saw a late equalizer ruled out controversially.
Angers also fell to a defeat last weekend, although losing to in-form Lyon was almost to be expected. Their recent record is similar to their opponents this weekend, as they have lost three of their last four.
Rennes have scored at least two goals in their last four matches with Angers, but goalscoring has proven to be an issue for them this season. Only four sides outside the bottom three have scored fewer than them thus far.
Angers, however, are one of those sides to have scored fewer than Rennes. They have only managed 14 goals to date, and have only managed a single goal in their last three matches.

Rennes vs Angers Prediction

Both of these teams have been on relatively poor form in recent weeks, losing far more matches than they've won.

Rennes, though, have been relatively solid at home all season. Not only did they win their last game at the Roazhon Park 5-0, but they've only lost twice there since the start of the campaign.

Angers are capable of springing a strong result here, but based on their recent form, particularly in front of goal, it feels unlikely. Therefore, the prediction here is a home win.

Prediction: Rennes 1-0 Angers
