Stade Rennais to Maintain Good Start to the Season with Win Over Montpellier

Stade Rennais vs Montpellier HSC - 30/10/2022

2051

There are several fixtures to be played in Ligue 1 on Sunday the 30th of October, including the meeting between Stade Rennais and Montpellier.

The match will be played at Roazhon Park and the hosts begin the weekend in 4th place on 24 points while the visitors are in 13th place on 12 points.

Stade Rennais come into the match on the back of a 3-3 draw at Fenerbahce in the Europa League on Thursday night. It was a disappointing result in the end for Stade Rennais having opened a 3-0 lead inside the first 30 minutes of the game.

Fenerbahce came back strongly late in the second half and scored 2 goals inside the final 8 minutes to take a point.

That result means Stade Rennais are undefeated in their last 13 matches in all competitions. They have won 6 of their last 7 fixtures, with the victories coming over Nantes and Lyon at home plus Strasbourg and Angers away in Ligue 1. There have also been wins over Dinamo Kiev home and away in the Europa League.

Home form in Ligue 1 shows Stade Rennais have won each of their last 5 fixtures. They have suffered only 1 defeat in their last 9 home league games and have scored 3 or more goals in each of their last 4 Ligue 1 matches on home soil.

Montpellier travel to Roazhon Park having lost 2-1 at home against Lyon in Ligue 1 last weekend. Lyon opened the scoring in the 33rd minute but Montpellier equalised with 20 minutes remaining on the clock in the second half.

Both teams had a player sent off in the 74th minute but Lyon scored the winning goal at the end of the match.

That defeat was the fourth loss in a row for Montpellier, with all 4 defeats coming in Ligue 1. There have been home losses against Monaco and Lyon plus away defeats to Toulouse and Lens.

Away form in the leagues shows Montpellier have been struggling for some time and they have lost 9 of their last 10 away Ligue 1 fixtures.

They have managed to find the back of the net without too much difficulty, including 7 goals at Brest but conceding goals has been a problem. Trends show Montpellier have conceded 2 or more goals in 8 of their last 10 away Ligue 1 games.

Team news and Stade Rennais are without injured midfielder Baptiste Santamaria. Warmed Omari is also struggling to be fit.

Montpellier have Stephy Mavididi unavailable due to suspension following his red card last weekend. Jonas Omlin, Mamadou Sakho, Théo Sainte-Luce, and Dimitry Bertaud are injured plus there are doubts over the fitness of Pedro Mendes.

This has the makings of being a comfortable home win for Stade Rennais. They are in great form while Montpellier have a poor away record and the hosts could score at least 3 goals on their way to victory.
