Stade Rennais vs Troyes Prediction and Betting Tips | May 14th 2023

Stade Rennais play host to Troyes at Roazhon Park in round 35 of the French Ligue 1 on Sunday.

Les Rennais will be looking to make it three straight home wins and move into the UEFA Europa Conference League qualification spot.

Stade Rennais failed to move into the top-five places as they fell to a 2-1 defeat against OGC Nice at the Allianz Riviera last Saturday.

Bruno Genesio’s men now return home, where they are on a run of two back-to-back wins, seeing off Stade Reims and Angers respectively.

Rennes are currently sixth in the Ligue 1 standings, level on 56 points with seventh-placed Olympique Lyon and three points off the Conference League qualification places.

On the other hand, Troyes’ freefall continued last time out as they suffered a 3-1 home defeat at the hands of league powerhouse Paris Saint-Germain.

Patrick Kisnorbo’s side have now gone 18 consecutive games without a win, losing 14 and claiming four draws since January’s 3-2 victory over Strasbourg.

With 22 points from 34 games, Troyes are currently 19th in the league table, 12 points away from safety with four games left to play.
