Rennes preview: In-form Rennes

Following the appointment of former Lens and Nice boss Franck Haise, Rennes have been much-improved of late as they push for European football after a recent four-match winning streak.

However, that winning streak was ended last weekend as they succumbed to a 2-1 defeat at home to Lille with Matias Fernandez-Pardo and Hakon Haraldsson scoring before Esteban Lepaul pulled a goal back mid-way through the second-half.

Metz preview: Rock-bottom Metz

Metz head into the 27th match day of the campaign sitting six points adrift of the relegation playoff place and 14 points adrift of outright safety with three victories in 26 matches following their promotion to the top-flight last season.

The visitors come into this one on the back of a 4-3 defeat at home to Toulouse at Stade Saint-Symphorien, extending their losing streak five matches with one point collected in their last nine games.

Rennes vs Metz prediction

With home advantage, Rennes will be expected to win quite comfortably as they begin the match day sitting just four points outside of the top four and the potential UEFA Champions League spots. Metz are going down and it is only a matter of time before that is mathematically confirmed with a comfortable Rennes win to be expected on Sunday.
