Montpellier – Rennes : Preview & Prediction
Montpellier did not shine during their preparation matches, taking only 1 victory against Girona (1-0) last Saturday. Overall, the record is disappointing with 2 draws against Beziers (2-2) and Huddersfield Town (1-1) and 2 losses to St Etienne (2-4) and Bordeaux (1-2). A delicate preparation that puts doubt in the heads of the Hérault when facing Rennes, an opponent who has not been successful for 3 years! Stade Rennais kicked off its season last weekend at the Champions Trophy against PSG … A narrowly lost competition (1-2) without demerit but which is in line with its previous friendly against Celtic Glasgow FC (0-0), Brest (0-1) and RB Leipzig (0-2). Just like the MHSC, the Breton club is in full doubt but has the psychological ascendancy since it has not lost against Montpellier since 6 games.
