Nantes have had an underwhelming start to the 2025-26 Ligue 1 season. Currently, they are situated in 14th place with three points and are two points ahead of the relegation zone.
La Maison Jaune have managed just one win in their last four league games. After losing their first two games, they recorded their first win of the season by beating Auxerre 1-0 at home. Mostafa Mohamed was on target.
Instead of building on that result last time out against Nice, Luís Castro's men suffered another setback. They were on the receiving end of a 1-0 away defeat.

Nantes FC have three players in the injury room. This includes Mathieu Acapandie (injury), Fabien Centonze (injury), and Bahereba Guirassy (hamstring injury).

Form: WDLW
It has been a convincing start to the Ligue 1 campaign for Rennes, who are rubbing shoulders with teams in the top six. Currently, they occupy sixth place in the league standings with seven points to their name and are three points behind third-placed Lille.
Les Rennais have managed two wins in their last four league games (D1, L1). They began the campaign with a shocking 1-0 home win against Marseille. A two-match winless run followed that.
However, they put an end to that unfavorable run last time out against Lyon. They came from a goal down to secure a dramatic 3-1 home victory.
Rennes: Team News
Rennes have three new players in the injury room. This includes Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal (groin injury), Alidu Seidu (head injury), and Przemyslaw Frankowski (groin injury).
Mahdi Camara is back from suspension and will be eligible to start in midfield alongside Valentin Rongier and Seko Fofana.
🔖 Probable Starting XI (3-5-2): Samba; Rouault, Jacquet, Brassier; Merlin, Camara, Rongier, Fofana, Tamari; Lepaul, Meite.
⛔️ Out: Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal (groin injury), Alidu Seidu (head injury), Przemyslaw Frankowski (groin injury).

Nantes FC vs Rennes Match Prediction 20 September 2025
Nantes FC have shown little improvement in their performance in the current Ligue 1 campaign. This is a side that has lost three of its last four games and comes into this match off a setback. I don't see them causing any problems in this fixture other than dropping three points at home.
Rennes are riding a two-match unbeaten run in Ligue 1 and will aim to make it three games unbeaten. They have won each of their last two meetings against Nantes. In fact, they have won seven of their last eight matches (L1). That said, I'm expecting them to secure a comfortable win away from home by supporting them in the full-time market.
