Command Analysis

Strasbourg

Current form
Strasbourg had a promising start to last season, but then the game changed dramatically and chaos began on all sides of the pitch. At the end of the 2023/24 competition, the Blues did not even make it into the top 10 (13th place). The management was not satisfied with this result and an Englishman, Liam Rosenior, was invited to the post of head coach.
In the first round of the championship there was an away game with Montpellier and they managed to take one point (1:1). Now the team wants to perform more confidently on their home field.
Disqualifications and injuries
Milos Lukovic will not be able to take to the field due to a knee injury.
Interesting trends for betting
Strasbourg have conceded goals in seven games in a row
It's impossible to win five games in a row at home
Estimated composition
Jonsson - Due, Perrin, Sylla, Doucouré - Mwanga, Santos - Bakwa, Diarra, Wiley - Emega.

Rennes

Current form
Last season, Rennes was unable to play on two fronts. The start was ambiguous, with a huge loss of points. Then Julien Stephan was invited to save the situation, who eventually managed to raise the team to tenth place in the standings. This year, the team will not break away to European competitions, so the goal is to get into the top 5.
The first round saw a strong spirit, as they managed to crush a strong Lyon team on their home field (3:0). The Bretons are approaching the upcoming match in a great mood.

Rennes have made a spectacular start to the new Ligue 1 campaign. We believe that, in the euphoria over a strong opponent, the visitors will be able to dominate in the away game against Rennes, who are still struggling to find their game.
The Bretons are well aware that further matches will be against stronger teams, so we will bet on them winning in the second round.
Our prediction is a victory for Rennes with odds of 2.22
Bet on total
Strasbourg managed to score in their last two friendly matches at home. Most likely, the Blues will be able to do the same in the first official game of the new season in front of local fans, but they will not be able to keep a clean sheet either.
Our prediction is both teams to score with odds of 1.65
Bet on corners
We indicated above that the teams do not play closed football among themselves, so we will bet that they will manage to score quite a few corners.
Our prediction is total over 8.5 corners with odds of 1.74
