Stade Reims vs Stade Rennais Prediction and Betting Tips | December 29th 2022

Stade Reims will host Stade Rennais at the Stade Auguste Delaune on Thursday in another round of Ligue 1 football.

The home side have had mixed results this season but particularly struggled to pick up wins just before the international break. They played out a 1-1 draw against Montpellier in their last Ligue 1 game and had looked set to come away with all three points after Marshall Munetsi's 87th-minute strike but were pegged back by a late strike from their opponents.

Reims sit 11th in the Ligue 1 standings with 17 points from 15 games and will be hopeful of adding to that tally on Thursday.

Stade Rennais kicked off their league campaign slowly but have since picked up the pace and are now pushing for Champions League football. They beat newly-promoted Toulouse in their last league game, with Benjamin Bourigeaud and Arnaud Kalimuendo getting on the scoresheet in either half.

The visitors sit third in the league table with 31 points from 15 games and will be looking to continue their good run of form this week.
