Clermont vs Rennes Prediction: The guests are highly motivated

Prediction for the match between Clermont and Rennes, which will take place on January 11. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

After a sensational 1:0 away win over Lyon, Clermont was disgracefully eliminated from the French Cup by losing to an amateur club in a penalty shootout. Before beating Lyon, Clermont lost on the home field to Lille 0:2, and before the start of the 18th round of Ligue 1, Clermont was in 9th place in the division standings with 22 points, 11 points less than Monaco in the European competition. The future hosts will not get to Europe this season, but they are also unlikely to drop out of the elite because the gap from Brest is 9 points. Clermont's home statistics are 13th in the division, +3=1-4, 8:15 goal difference.

In the first round of Ligue 1 after the resumption, Rennes lost on the road to Reims with a score of 1:3. However, after a few days, Bretons made up for it by beating Nice 2:1. In the French Cup, the Red and Black were stronger than Bordeaux 2:1 on the away match. In contrast to Clermont, Rennes is fighting for a place in the European competitions, has 34 points, and is only two points behind third-placed Marseille. However, Rennes' away statistics are not very good, namely, 9 in the division, +2=4-2, 11:11 goal difference.

Rennes isn't the best on the road. However, the Bretons have the highest motivation and fight for a place in the Eurocup competitions. At the same time, Clermont is just a middle class of the French elite, the team without particular tasks for the current season. Rennes needs a victory in the upcoming game, allowing the Bretons, at least for a few hours, to climb to third place in the championship standings. At the same time, we hope the upcoming match will be rich in goals.
