Wednesday's Ligue 1 predictions including Nantes vs. Rennes

sportsmole.co.uk, 11 May 2022, 05:05
Nice vs. St Etienne (Wednesday, 6.00pm)

After missing out on Coupe de France glory last weekend, Nice will turn their attention back to Ligue 1 with a home encounter against Saint-Etienne on Wednesday night.

The hosts currently sit sixth in the table, five points behind the Champions League positions with a game in hand, while the visitors occupy 18th place and are three points adrift of safety.

We say: Nice 3-1 Saint-Etienne

While Saint-Etienne's slender win over Nice last season will provide them with some confidence on Wednesday, Les Verts could be in for a challenging evening against their Champions League-chasing opponents this time around.

Securing all three points is required if they are to move out of the bottom three, but we can only see the Eaglets running away with victory on home soil.

Data Analysis

Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Nice win with a probability of 62.35%. A draw has a probability of 21.1% and a win for Saint-Etienne has a probability of 16.54%.

The most likely scoreline for a Nice win is 1-0 with a probability of 11.05%. The next most likely scorelines for that outcome are 2-0 (10.92%) and 2-1 (9.91%). The likeliest drawn scoreline is 1-1 (10.02%), while for a Saint-Etienne win it is 0-1 (5.07%).

Nantes vs. Rennes (Wednesday, 8.00pm)

Newly-crowned Coupe de France winners Nantes will return to Ligue 1 action on Wednesday night when they welcome Rennes to the Stade de la Beaujoire.

The hosts have only lost one of their last nine league games on home soil, while the visitors saw their four-game unbeaten run on the road come to an end in their most recent trip to Strasbourg.

We say: Nantes 1-2 Rennes

Nantes will head into Wednesday's fixture on a real high after their cup triumph, but as they have already qualified for Europe, they may not be as motivated as they once were to claim maximum points in their remaining league fixtures.

Kombouare will ensure his side remain competitive against Rennes and they will fancy their chances of success, but we can see the visitors coming out on top to boost their hopes of Champions League football next season.

Data Analysis

Our analysis of all available data, including recent performances and player stats, suggests the most likely outcome of this match is a Rennes win with a probability of 44.01%. A win for Nantes has a probability of 31.55% and a draw has a probability of 24.4%.

The most likely scoreline for a Rennes win is 1-2 with a probability of 9.11%. The next most likely scorelines for that outcome are 0-1 (8.67%) and 0-2 (6.92%). The likeliest Nantes win is 2-1 (7.51%), while for a drawn scoreline it is 1-1 (11.41%).
