We’re of the thinking that Les Scoïstes seem most likely to play in a 4-2-3-1 formation by sending out Herve Koffi, Carlens Arcus, Ousmane Camara, Jordan Lefort, Jacques Ekomie, Haris Belkebla, B. van den, Lilian Raolisoa, Yassin Belkhdim, Amine Sbaï and Lanroy Machine.

🔮 Prediction

We’re of the opinion that Rennes should really score a couple of goals when they come up against Angers SCO, who may well find it hard finding the net themselves.

Our selection here is for a controlled 2-0 win for Rennes when all’s said and done.
