Metz vs Rennes Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | Ligue 1 2025-26

Stade Rennais are unbeaten in their last seven games against the Maroons.

Metz FC are ready to host Rennes for their matchweek 14 fixture of the Ligue 1 2025-26 edition. This is going to be an entertaining outing between these clubs, which will take place at the Stade Saint-Symphorien.

The Maroons have come up with some lacklustre performances since the beginning of the season. They are placed 17th on the league table.

With this rate, they might even get relegated at the end of the season. Metz FC have only won three of their 13 league games in the ongoing campaign.

Rennes are coming in after securing a dominating 4-1 win against AS Monaco in their previous game. They are now in sixth place on the Ligue 1 points table.

Another win here can help them get into the top four. Stade Rennais have done well in their last three matches and will be keen to continue their run.

Players to Watch

Gauthier Hein (Metz)

From controlling the midfield well to helping the Maroons in the attacking front, Gauthier Hein is one of the crucial assets for his squad. He has scored four goals and has two assists to his name in 11 Ligue 1 appearances this season. Hein will look to step up his game to help his side.

Breel Embolo (Rennes)

Breel Embolo is one of the important members of the squad for Stade Rennais. He was one of the goal scorers in their 4-1 triumph over Monaco. Embolo will be yet again ready to help his side in the final third by scoring a goal or two.

A top performance by him can surely be useful for the visitors.
