Angers vs Rennes Head-to-Head and Key Numbers

• While Rennes haven't been on the best form in recent years, their record against Angers is fantastic. They have beaten them in their last six matches across all competitions.
• After Angers picked up a solid win over Paris FC on the opening weekend, they were predictably beaten by champions PSG last weekend. However, only conceding one goal in the Parc des Princes could well be seen as a positive performance of sorts.
• Rennes also won on the opening weekend, shocking Marseille, but they were then hammered by Lorient last weekend, conceding four goals in the process.
• Both of these teams were reduced to ten men in their opening match, but remarkably, it got even worse for Rennes last weekend. They saw two players sent off after just eleven minutes against Lorient, something that clearly led to their utter collapse in that game.
• Regardless of what happens in their campaign overall, Rennes can boast that they scored the first Ligue 1 goal of the 2025-26 season. Incredibly, the goal, scored by Ludovic Blas, came in the 91st minute of their win over Marseille.

Angers vs Rennes Prediction

While Angers have had the more convincing performances across the first two games of the current Ligue 1 season, Rennes will still be hopeful here.

Not only do they have a fantastic record against their hosts in recent years, but they can also blame last weekend's collapse on their two early red cards.

Angers will absolutely be hopeful, and their showing against PSG last weekend was promising, but every side has their bogey team, and Rennes are slightly stronger on paper. All things, then, point to a narrow away win.

Prediction: Angers 0-1 Rennes
