Mura vs Rennes Prediction
Rennes have hit a purple patch in recent fixtures and are unbeaten in their last five games across all competitions, keeping a clean sheet in three of them. It will be difficult for Mura to put up much of a challenge here, as they have scored just one goal and conceded seven in the competition.
We predict an easy win for the Ligue 1 outfit, with the odds of a clean sheet also looking good.
Prediction: Mura 0-2 Rennes
