Nice and Rennes meet in Ligue 1, with the hosts in 10th place on 11 points from 8 matches, while the visitors sit 2nd with 16 points from the same number of games. This is therefore a match where Rennes need points to protect their position in the table, while Nice want to collect points at home to move up from mid-table. Nice have just won 2-1 in their latest match, but overall this season they have not scored much and have conceded a fair amount. Rennes, meanwhile, come in with better form, having won 5 of 8 matches and clearly scoring more. The visitors' attack should therefore be able to apply more pressure, but Nice play at home and are likely to set up mainly to defend. If Rennes score first, the game should open up and the visitors have a chance to control the situation. But if Nice can hold the score for a long time, the game could become one where both sides have to be careful and end up closely contested, which is a result the visitors can still accept.
