Definitely Not Le Man

Slightly bigger odds, but again too short for me, is Rennes to win at home to Le Mans, with Paddy Power, Bet365 and Stan James all offering 5/6. Rennes had the best home record bar runaway leaders Lyon in the division last season, winning 13 out of 19. They have not been as impressive this season but are still solid, winning 3 of their last 4 at the Stade de la route de Lorient. Le Mans’ current away form is as bad as it gets: no points and no goals in their last 6. Nothing is ever nailed on in this game but I do think that, based on the stats, those odds are slightly generous on the home win.
