• AS Monaco vs Stade de Reims Prediction: Ligue 1 Match on 13.01.2024

Ligue 1 Preview

There could yet be a race for the league title in France this season, as the top two in the Ligue 1 standings are separated by just five points. However, it’s PSG that leads the way at the summit, with Nice trailing the reigning champions at this early stage. That means that Nice will come into this weekend with pressure on their shoulders to pick up maximum points. 

The visitors have endured a challenging period across the last month, winning three of their last five. However, over that period, they have also suffered two defeats. That has enabled PSG to open up an advantage at the summit. But, Nice got their league campaign back on track at the end of last month after recording a 2-0 home win over Lens. They returned to action with a penalty shootout success against Auxerre on Saturday.

Rennes will be the hosts this weekend, as they look to continue their fine recent form in the French top-flight. They come into this match after bouncing back to form before the start of 2024 after going two without a defeat. That was an excellent response by the hosts this weekend after losing twice on the bounce. 

Rennes were excellent in their last league match, as they recorded a 3-1 win on the road against Clermont Foot. Their form also remained strong in their previous match, landing a 2-0 success on the road against Guingamp in the French Cup on Sunday. 

Rennes vs Nice Head to Head

Nice boasts the overall advantage in the previous encounters between these sides after winning each of their last two and four of their previous six against Rennes. However, they haven’t won away from home against Rennes since December 2021. 

Rennes vs Nice Prediction

Rennes have been a challenging side to predict this season, and this could be a challenging assignment for them in front of their home fans against Nice on Saturday. Therefore, we will be siding with the visitors to claim maximum points to close the gap on PSG at the summit.
