Rennes vs Clermont Foot Prediction and Betting Tips | 19th February 2023

Rennes host Clermont Foot at Roazhon Park in Ligue 1 on Sunday, looking to halt their losing run and return to winning ways.

The Rennais have lost their last three games in all competitions - a pair of 3-1 defeats vs Lille and Toulouse in the league followed by a 2-1 loss at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk in the Europa League on Thursday.

Their setbacks in the top-flight have seen them fall down to sixth in the table with 40 points from 23 games as another winless affair could seriously hurt their prospects of securing European football next season.
