Rennes to enhance Champions League hopes at Nantes

FC Nantes vs Stade Rennais - 11/05/2022

2511

On Wednesday night, Nantes hosts Rennes at the Stade de la Beaujoire - Louis Fonteneau, in a game that is massive for the visitor's chances of securing a Champions League spot in Ligue One.

Nantes

The home side looks like they have blown their chances of European football next season due to an inconsistent recent run of form in Ligue One. Antoine Kombouare’s team are now nine points adrift of fifth-place Strasbourg with just three league games remaining.

Their inconsistent recent run of league form consisted of three draws in their last five matches in the French top-flight, having also recorded one win and suffered one defeat.

Last time out in Ligue One they drew 2-2 at Lens. The game saw Nantes score at least two goals for the third straight game. However, it also saw them concede at least two goals for the third straight match too.

Nantes have a decent recent home record, winning five of their last seven league matches on home soil while suffering just one defeat in the process.

Rennes

Bruno Genesio’s team currently sits in fourth place in the table and in one of the Europa League qualification spots for next season. However, Rennes would move into the Champions League qualifier spot if they win this clash, as they would be level with third-place Monaco, but have a superior goal difference.

A slightly inconsistent run of late has put their chances of qualifying for the Champions League in jeopardy. However, back-to-back wins over Lorient and Saint-Etienne have kept the visitors right in the hunt for a place in European football’s elite competition next season.

A 2-1 defeat at fifth-place Strasbourg in their last away match in the French top-flight ended a four-game unbeaten run on their travels in Ligue One.
