Simon Dalton presents his prediction for the Ligue 1 match.
Stade Rennais have already secured their Ligue 1 status and are no longer driven by any remaining league targets. In contrast, OGC Nice remain fully invested in the pursuit of Champions League qualification and are currently in excellent form, having registered three consecutive wins, including a surprise victory over Paris Saint-Germain.
Stade Rennais
Stade Rennais are in 11th place in the standings but have lost their last two matches, conceding six goals in total to Olympique Lyonnais and Toulouse. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of their last five Ligue 1 fixtures. Their form at Roazhon Park has also been disappointing, with five defeats in their last eight home league matches. Notably, three of those defeats came against top-tier opposition—Olympique de Marseille, Paris Saint-Germain, and Lille OSC.
OGC Nice
OGC Nice are enjoying a strong run of form with three straight victories. They have conceded only twice in that span, while averaging two goals per game. Morgan Sanson has been particularly influential, scoring twice against Paris Saint-Germain and delivering the match-winner against Stade de Reims. Evann Guessand has also impressed, leading the team in goals with 11. On the road, OGC Nice have been consistent, suffering just one defeat—against AS Monaco—since early February, while earning points in all other away matches during that period.
Stade Rennais vs OGC Nice Prediction
With a clear objective and strong momentum, OGC Nice enter this fixture with a distinct advantage. Meanwhile, Stade Rennais, with nothing at stake, may rotate their squad and approach the match with less intensity. Under these conditions, the visitors are well positioned for a positive result.
