Montpellier will face Rennes in week 32 of the 2022/2023 French League which can be watched via live streaming on beIN Sports on Sunday, April 23 2023, ET.
Montpellier will look to secure their Ligue 1 survival when they host Rennes at Stade de la Mosson on Sunday. The hosts are not mathematically safe yet, but they have an eight-point gap to the bottom three before this round. Rennes, meanwhile, are chasing a place in the Conference League Qualifiers next season, as they are two points behind fifth-placed Lille.
Montpellier have a poor record against Rennes, losing six of their last seven Ligue 1 encounters and conceding more than two goals per game on average. However, they have been scoring regularly since Michel Der Zakarian returned to the club, finding the net in all nine Ligue 1 games. They will need to improve their defensive performance to get three points here.
Rennes are coming off a 3-0 victory over Reims at home and will hope to avoid a repeat of their 3-1 loss at Lyon in their last away game. Rennes showed they can compete with the best when they beat PSG 2-0 away, but that was their only league win on the road against a team starting this round in the top 14. Rennes are having a great season, with their 53 points after 31 games their third-best tally in the three-point per game era.
Rennes will also be confident of extending their winning streak against Montpellier to four games, as their manager Bruno Génésio has only lost once in 11 meetings with Der Zakarian. Rennes have dominated Montpellier recently, scoring nine goals and conceding two. They won 3-0 at home in October, with goals from Martin Terrier, Arnaud Kalimuendo and Amine Gouiri.
Both teams have some players to watch out for. Téji Savanier is a threat from set pieces and has scored seven of his last eight Ligue 1 goals from free kicks or penalties. Arnaud Kalimuendo has been involved in four of Rennes’ last seven away Ligue 1 goals. Montpellier’s top scorers are Elye Wahi and Savanier, who have 13 and 10 goals each. Rennes have relied on Gouiri, Terrier and Kalimuendo for goals this season, who have scored 10, nine and seven times respectively.
Montpellier have a poor home record this season with six wins, two draws and eight losses in 16 Ligue 1 games. Rennes have struggled away from home as well, with four wins, five draws and six losses in 15 league games. In their last six league games, Montpellier have three wins, one draw and two losses. Rennes have two wins, one draw and three losses in their last six.
This match could be a close one, as both teams have something to play for. Montpellier will want to secure their Ligue 1 status with a win, while Rennes will want to keep up the pressure on Lille for a spot in the Conference League Qualifiers. The visitors may have the edge in terms of form and head-to-head record, but the hosts may have the motivation to cause an upset.
