Rennes vs Montpellier Prediction & Betting tips
In the last round of the previous season, Stade Rennais won 5-0 against Montpellier in the Roazhon Park, which meant that Stade Rennais qualified for the group stage of the Europa League, while Montpellier lost a European ticket. Can Montpellier take revenge this season?
Rennes:
Stade Rennais has started the new season with a 1-1 draw on a visit to Lille, the number four of the previous season. After forty minutes of play, Julien Stéphan’s team seemed hopeless with a 1-0 deficit and a red card for defender Sacha Boey. Just before half time, however, it became ten against ten and in the second half les Rouges et Noirs presented themselves a lot better. However, Stéphan’s team did not get any further than captain Damien Da Silva’s 1-1, but Stéphan and his players could not be dissatisfied with that.
The star on the Rouges et Noirs side was not entirely unexpected Eduardo Camavinga. The seventeen-year-old midfielder was allowed to come in after more than an hour of play and delivered the assist to the 1-1 fifteen minutes before the end. Stéphan praised the talent after coming in, but still sees plenty of room for improvement: “At the end of the game, he made a few sloppy passes, but overall he was very convincing and impressed.”
Montpellier:
For Montpellier, the away match against Stade Rennais is the first competitive match in more than five months. Last season, la Paillade missed a European ticket due to a 5-0 defeat due to a 5-0 defeat against Stade Rennais and Michel Der Zakarian’s team will undoubtedly want to take revenge for that failure. In the preparation for the new season, however, Der Zakarian’s team did not make too much of an impression: they only won 3-1 against second division Rodez, while against Metz and Bastia there was a draw and they lost 2-1 against RC Strasbourg. became.
Montpellier missed out on European football last season with a minimal difference, but is determined to obtain a European ticket this season. Der Zakarian will undoubtedly be pleased with the fact that he has kept his starting team from last year as good as together. Only for first goalkeeper Geronimo Rulli, who was hired from Real Sociedad, a replacement had to be found and this was found in the person of the Swiss Jonas Omlin, who was the first goalkeeper at FC Basel last season. In addition, striker Stephy Mavididi, who made a good impression at Dijon last season, was also taken over from Juventus, giving Der Zakarian an extra option for the front line.
