Rennes vs OFI — Tips & Analysis

Over 3: Rennes play in busy games. 10 of their last 12 games had 3 or more goals, and their games average just over 3 goals between the two teams. They are unbeaten at their own ground at 5 wins, 1 tie and no losses, and there they score more than 2 a game. They also let in more than a goal a game at home, and they lost 0-4 at Lyon in their recent run. This is not a team that keeps things quiet, and they have just put four past Auxerre. OFI do not just sit back and defend either. They score more than a goal a game and let in more than a goal a game. 10 of their last 17 games had 3 or more goals. On the road they let in more than a goal a game, and they have won three of their last five. The honest part is the likely score. A 2-1 to Rennes is the single most likely result, and that leaves this one goal short of where we want it. Both back lines give up enough for a fourth goal to turn up. The risk is OFI going the other way. They have created very little lately and they are missing the attackers Aaron Iseka and Christos Sielis, so a low-key 1-0 or 2-0 is possible. We still want the busier game here.
