Rennes vs Reims Prediction & Betting tips
The Sunday afternoon is kicked off with the duels between Stade and Stade, Stade Rennais and Stade Reims to be exact. Does the PhD student know how to surprise, or are the points in the Roazhon Park?
Stade Rennes:
When visiting the well-performing AS Saint-Étienne, Stade Rennais was absolutely hopeless last week. Already within five minutes, Stade Rennais trailed after a utilized penalty from Wahbi Khazri, last season still mercenary of Stade Rennais, due to a violation of Clément Grenier. Then Lamouchi’s men battled back into the match by a goal from Ismaïla Sarr. Hatem Ben Arfa, former player of Olympique Lyonnais – the arch rival of AS Saint-Étienne – missed in the second half a penalty with which he gave his team two points short.
Ismaïla Sarr, a twenty-year-old Senegalese striker, played against AS Saint-Étienne with Hatem Ben Arfa in his back, in contrast to the won against AS Monaco in which Ben Arfa formed a striker duo together with the Senegalese. Sarr scored the important 1-1 as mentioned, but did not do so on Ben Arfa’s suggestion, so there is a good chance that a 4-4-2 system will be used against Stade Reims again because the possibilities of Ben Arfa and Sarr to be better off in this. With his third goal of the season, the Senegalese is better than last season when he needed 24 duels for five goals, a number that he will undoubtedly win this season.
Stade Reims:
Last week Stade Reims played in his own home against the always dangerous Angers. In view of the results of the last matches, Angers was the clear favorite, and that role in the first half in which Stade Reims hardly ever plays football matches. In the second half, the game went somewhat right and due to an error by the goalkeeper of Angers, Pablo Chavarria was able to score his second goal this season. Chavarria is now involved in three of the five goals of Stade Reims this season and has already gained four points for Stade Reims.
With five draws, including four in the last five games, Stade Reims is playing the king of the match with Caen this season. The team of David Guion, however, sinks further and further to the danger zone, so the question arises whether it is not wiser to try another system. The current 4-2-3-1 system offers sufficient defensive security on paper, but a lack of scoring power, because the most offensive player in this system has not yet scored in the last few games. The advantage for Guion is that Xavier Chavalerin, who played the first nine games, can play against Stade Rennais again after a suspension.
