Nice host Rennes at the Allianz Riviera on Friday evening (6.00pm UK time) looking to protect one of the few unbeaten home records in Ligue 1, while the visitors arrive second in the table but strangely fragile on their travels.
These Nice vs Rennes predictions and betting tips lean on that split personality in both camps, with the hosts solid on home soil and Rennes free-scoring yet leaky away from Roazhon Park.
Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson has picked out two best bets for Nice vs Rennes, both built around a game that should flow.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Over 3.5 goals | 11/8 (bet365) | Nice and Rennes both bring box-office numbers to this one. Rennes have scored 18 goals in eight games, the joint-most in Ligue 1, but they have also conceded 14 and leaked nine in three away trips, including a 4-0 reverse at Lyon and a 4-3 defeat at Paris FC. Nice have scored in each of their last three and have the invention of Sofiane Diop to hurt a defence that travels so poorly. Three of the last four head-to-heads produced at least three goals, and with Rennes chasing another away win the game should stretch, so Over 3.5 goals makes plenty of sense at 11/8. |
| Ludovic Blas anytime assist | 4/1 (bet365) | Rennes’ creativity flows through Ludovic Blas, and with the visitors scoring in seven of their eight games and posting a division-high 18 goals, the chances will keep coming. Blas has created 11 chances for team-mates this season, second only to Adrien Thomasson at the club, and 4/1 for him to register an assist looks a fair price given how often Rennes break at speed. Nice have kept it tight at the Riviera, but Rennes carry enough firepower to find a goal, and Blas is the man most likely to make one. |

How Nice go into the game
Nice sit 10th after eight matches, with 11 points and a record that splits sharply by venue. They are unbeaten in four at the Allianz Riviera, winning two and drawing two while conceding just three times at home, and recent weeks brought home wins over Strasbourg (2-1) and Lille (2-1). Last time out they dug out a 2-1 victory at Brest, so confidence should be reasonable even against higher-ranked opponents.
The concern is sharpness going forward. Nice have found the net only eight times in eight games and failed to score in three of them, while their away form of one win and three defeats on the road is a world apart from home. Sofiane Diop remains their main source of invention in the final third.
How Rennes go into the game
Rennes have made a strong start, sitting second with 16 points from eight games and a division-high tally of 18 goals, level with Marseille. Four of their five home outings have ended in wins, including a 4-1 rout of Auxerre and a 3-0 win over Strasbourg, and they go into this on the back of a 3-0 home win over Strasbourg.
Away from Roazhon Park, though, Rennes have been vulnerable. They have won just one of three on the road and shipped nine goals in the process, losing 4-0 at Lyon and 4-3 at Paris FC. With 14 conceded overall they carry a soft underbelly, and Ludovic Blas and Esteban Lepaul will need to keep the goals flowing to paper over it.

Recent meetings have been tight and high on quality. Rennes have edged three of the last five, including a 4-0 romp on this ground in March, but Nice took the reverse 2-1 at Roazhon Park last October and won 3-2 at home in January 2025.
Nice vs Rennes predictions & betting tips

Nice vs Rennes score prediction
Everything points towards goals. Rennes will fancy their chances of scoring against anyone, but their travel sickness and Nice’s resilience at the Riviera should balance out into an even, entertaining night. Score prediction: Nice 2-2 Rennes.
