Rennes vs Brest Prediction & Betting tips
Stade Rennais and Stade Brestois have played five friendly games against each other in the last three years with four times Stade Rennais as winners. Can Stade Brestois win in six games on Sunday afternoon for the second time?
Stade Rennais:
Stade Rennais has had a reasonable first half of the season. After eighteen games, the team is in a tied seventh place with 26 points and a goal difference of +2 (27-25) and the team also has a make-up game against the last team and Avant Guingamp. In the Europa League, the team that finished last place in the Ligue 1 last season as best-of-the-rest finished second in Group K, meaning a dip in February with the Spanish Real Betis. But before that time there is first a cup match against Stade Brestois.
The successful last season was mainly due to a trainer change in November 2017 which gave Sabri Lamouchi the responsibility for Les Rouges et Noirs, but this season Lamouchi did not get the team to work. At the beginning of December, a 4-1 defeat by Stade Rennais in his own home against RC Strasbourg resulted in the dismissal of Lamouchi and the appointment of Julien Stephan who has not left a point since. Under the leadership of Stephan no less than nine points were collected from three league matches, the quarterfinals of the Coupe de la Ligue were reached against Nantes and the group stage of the Europa League was survived. And all of that with a goal difference of +11 (12-1).
Stade Brestois:
Stade Brestois is working on a decent season with 38 points (average 2.00 per game) after the first half of the season and a +17 (35-18) goal difference. The gap on the three divided numbers three, against whom five points were lost in the last three games, can be called generous with six points, but the season has certainly not yet been played for the team that finished 5th in the LIgue last season. with no less than 23 points behind champion Stade Reims.
The big weapon of Stade Brestois this season is Gaƫtan Charbonnier. The striker played since 2010 at Angers, Montpellier and Stade Reims alternately in the Ligue 1 and the Ligue 2, but this season at the age of thirty only makes its final breakthrough. After nineteen matches in the Ligue 2, the Frenchman has already scored sixteen times, no less than four goals more than in his previous record season (2011/2012 in the service of Angers in Ligue 2) and he has also provided five assistants, making him is involved in no less than sixty percent of the goals of his team this season.
