- Head-to-head: Rennes have won their last three matches against Strasbourg, including a 3-0 away win in Ligue 1 2025/2026.
- Home form: Rennes are undefeated in four Ligue 1 2026/2027 home matches, winning three and drawing one.
- Away form: Racing Club Strasbourg have lost three consecutive matches, with three defeats in four away Ligue 1 2026/2027 matches.
Rennes to win in a tight contest
Les Rennais and Le Racing will meet in the Ligue 1 2026/2027 season on Sunday in what could be a tactical chess match at Roazhon Park, France.
Rennes (13 points from 7 games, 6th) have played well above the level of Strasbourg (7 points from 7 matches, 14th) in Ligue 1 2026/2027 so far this term but they are the favourites here at 1.72 ahead of Le Racing at 4.0 and the draw at 4.2. But if you think about it, the 1.72 price for Rennes looks about right based on the form of both teams and what we know about them so far.
The home side are in mixed form with two wins and three defeats from their last five matches, but back-to-back home wins against A.J. Auxerre (4-1) in Ligue 1 2026/2027 and OFI FC (2-1) in the UEFA Europa League – League Phase 2026/2027 should give Franck Haise's side enough confidence to take the three points here. Le Racing arrive in Brittany on the back of three straight defeats to Paris FC, Nice and Paris Saint-Germain and could be licking their wounds a little.
Haise’s team has been scoring at home
Tactical approach
Hugo Oliveira's men play a modern possession-and-pressing style of soccer, designed to create half-space overloads and win the ball back at speed, but they have conceded too many goals (10) on the road in Ligue 1 2026/2027 and this doesn't look like the game for them to turn that stat around.
Scoring and betting
The home team have a bit more quality and have won their last three against Racing, including a 3-0 victory away in Ligue 1 2025/2026.
But Le Racing's counter-pressing game can certainly keep this close if they hit the first punch and we are taking the over 2.5 goals at 1.44 as a good alternative bet here, with both teams to score also short at 1.44.
- Rennes have scored ten goals in their four home games in Ligue 1 2026/2027.
- Esteban Lepaul has been Rennes' main man with three goals in five Ligue 1 2026/2027 matches and he has four of their last nine overall, so our preferred bet in the anytime goalscorer market is for him to score again here.
- Rennes are also undefeated at home in Ligue 1 2026/2027, so they look the more likely winners here.
