Rennes have wobbled a bit of late with their AFCON absentees, including a surprising elimination in the Coupe de France to second-tier opposition, but should have enough about them to beat a Bordeaux side who seem all but doomed to relegaion. Bordeaux certainly have the talent to stay in the division on paper, but with so many key players being sent away from the first team, the mood around the squad will scarcely help those who remain. 2:0
Rennes have seen under 2.5 goals in their last 10 matches against Bordeaux in all competitions. There have been over 2.5 goals scored in 14 of Bordeaux's last 15 away games (Ligue 1). Rennes have lost their last 3 matches (Ligue 1). Rennes have lost with a 1 goal margin in their last 3 matches (Ligue 1). Bordeaux have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 away matches (Ligue 1).
Despite a narrow loss to Lens at the weekend, don't expect wholesale changes from the hosts. Birger Meling was fit enough for the bench and will press Adrien Truffert for a start at left-back. With Romain Salin still a doubt, back-up goalkeeper Dodan Alemdar could again be called on in goal. While Les Girondins have largely recovered from a wave of COVID-19 cases, the team have sent several players to train with the reserves in the hopes of voiding their contracts. Fit-again Issouf Sissokho could also be an option in midfield. With so many absences, there's not much expected in the way of rotation for Les Girondins, although Elis or Hwang could play a wide role with M'Baye Niang playing in attack.
