Both teams come into this match with tremendous records at their respective setting. Rennes have won four of their last five away games while Nice have lost just twice at home all season. Nice have won three and drawn two of their last five clashes with Rennes but the visitors are currently chasing 2nd place so should put up a good fight. Nice have scored in eleven of their last twelve matches. The last meeting of these teams ended 2-1 with Nice scoring a 92nd-minute winner.

Julien Stéphan’s Rennes side have been going from strength to strength recently with wins coming against both formidable and beatable teams alike. They have won nine of their last eleven matches in all competitions and have managed to beat the likes of Lazio (2-0) and Lyon in this run (1-0). They did spurn the chance to go second a few weeks ago as they lost 1-0 to Marseille but apart from this they have been on quite the run.

Unlike many teams in Ligue 1 this season, Rennes have still been putting together some impressive results away from home. They have won four of their last five away matches with seven goals scored and four clean sheets along the way. Their defence has actually been very strong in recent weeks with them conceding just five goals in their last ten matches. In this time they have actually conceded the least goals in the league and the second least chances which shows how formidable their back line is at the moment.

Nice will have quite the task on their hand here as they look to dismount this in-form Rennes side. Le Gym currently sit 11th in Ligue 1 but have been putting together a good run of form recently with them unbeaten in their last six. They have actually won five of their last eight matches in all competitions and have a solid home record which should give them a boost here.

They have only lost two home games all season with big boys PSG and Marseille being the only sides to have toppled the Allianz Riviera so far. However, given Rennes’ stature and form, that could constitute them as one of the league’s bigger sides and with them currently 3rd and only narrowly behind the silver medal spot, this could be a tough one for the hosts.
