Venue (City, Stadium) | Rennes, Roazhon Park |
Our Rennes vs Auxerre prediction starts at Roazhon Park, where a pair of French Ligue 1 sides who rarely keep things tidy meet on Sunday with plenty of attacking intent.
Rennes have a fully fit squad and something to prove after Lyon put four past them last time out, a rude end to an unbeaten opening to the season.
Auxerre arrive in far better spirits than their start suggested, riding a two-game winning run. They travel light, though, with a long list of absentees through injury and suspension.
The previous meetings could not be more even, with two wins apiece and as many ties. With Auxerre short-handed, this is the hosts' moment to tilt that balance at home.
Rennes vs Auxerre Recent Results
Rennes opened the season unbeaten in four before the lopsided loss at Lyon knocked the shine off. They have gone 5-5 across their last 10 outings against all opponents, with Estéban Lepaul leading a front line that does its best work attacking down the wings but too often wastes what it creates.
Auxerre dropped their first three games before turning it around with wins over Nice and Brest. Four wins have come from their past 10 outings against all opponents, leaning on through balls, counter attacks and a knack for coming back from losing positions. Cameron Archer is the man to watch, though sloppy possession remains a real weakness.

Rennes vs Auxerre Prediction & Best Picks
Our Prediction
Our prediction is a Rennes win, but not a quiet one. The hosts have a full squad and a wide attack built to stretch a depleted Auxerre side, and our projections have them scoring 2.3 goals. The Rennes vs Auxerre betting odds make the hosts clear favorites at -225 (Bet365) on the moneyline, which fits the gap in personnel, though a Rennes defense that struggles against counters leaves Auxerre room to land a punch.
Best Picks
Both Teams To Score: Yes. Rennes and Auxerre both to find the net at Roazhon Park. In the Both Teams To Score market, our projections put this at 62.2%, above the implied probability of the best available price, so there is modest value here. Rennes are soft defending set pieces and counter attacks, and even a short-handed Auxerre side built on through balls and quick breaks can make that count.
Over 2.5 Total Goals in the Total Goals Over/Under market. This pick lines up with that same goals outlook, with the over landing in 11 of Rennes' last 12 games in Ligue 1. Auxerre have hit the same mark in 8 of their last 10 games in Ligue 1, making this a fairly priced goals play that backs up the both-teams-to-score angle.
Rennes vs Auxerre Same Game Parlay
Our Rennes vs Auxerre same game parlay picks back both attacks: Cameron Archer to score, Danny Namaso to test the goalkeeper, Estéban Lepaul to keep shooting and a high-scoring game overall.
Cameron Archer in the Anytime Goalscorer market. He has scored in each of his last 3 appearances in Ligue 1, and he is the focal point of the Auxerre attack.
Danny Namaso Over 0.5 in the Player Shots On Target market. He has recorded a shot on target in every one of his past 5 outings in Ligue 1.
Estéban Lepaul Over 1.5 in the Player Shots market. He has fired off 2+ shots in five straight Ligue 1 outings, and Rennes like to let it fly.
Over 2.5 in the Total Goals Over/Under market ties it together. Our projections give it a 67.4% probability, with two shaky defenses on the same field.
At the time of writing, this Same Game Parlay pays a best price of +725 and is as short as +521 elsewhere. That's a difference in potential winnings of $20 from best to worst price.

Rennes vs Auxerre Talking Points
The key battle is Auxerre's through-ball game against a Rennes back line that loves to play the offside trap and struggles with balls in behind. Get the timing wrong and Archer and Namaso are in on goal. At the other end, Rennes attack down the wings, while Auxerre are shaky in the air and on set pieces, so the hosts' wide play could do real damage. Neither defense inspires much confidence, which is why goals sit at the heart of our Rennes vs Auxerre best picks.
