Montpellier-Rennes is a match of the 32nd day of Ligue 1 and is played on Sunday at 5:05 pm: statistics, likely lineups, predictions.
From the height of its 37 points in the standings, Montpellier looks at this final French league season calm in the knowledge that it has now reached safety and knowing, too, that it no longer has any real goals to achieve.
Unlike, of course, Rennes, which currently occupies sixth place in the standings and still has a chance of catching Lille and closing in on the European zone. They are two points behind the formation coached by former Roma Fonseca, a margin that is absolutely bridgeable and that can certainly open important scenarios for the host formation. Who dreams of the big hit.
If we were only going to look at the standings, we would state quite calmly that the host formation would be the favorite. But of course there is more: there is the external path of Rennes, which is absolutely up and down and has given many disappointments and very few joys. Take, for example, the last ten away matches in all competitions played: six defeats, three victories, and one draw. In short, the indications are nice and important and give the idea, also, of the game that tomorrow night, Sunday, could come out.

The prediction
A match that as mentioned could see Rennes victorious, and of that there is little doubt. But Montpellier, which by now has nothing more to ask of its season, does not seem intent on being the sacrificial victim. On the contrary, the hosts will sell their skins very dearly and will try from now until the end of this season to take as many satisfactions as possible. Closing the picture, then: a match of at least one goal per team and a match that could even end in a draw.
