Clash of the Unbeatens: Rennes and West Ham United Face-off in Pre-season Showdown
Key Stats
– Rennes scored an average of 1.8 goals per game in the previous Ligue 1 season.
– West Ham United player, Divin Mubama has scored in three consecutive pre-season matches.
The unblemished record of both Rennes and West Ham United in their pre-season games will be put to the test this weekend, as the two teams prepare to lock horns at Roazhon Park. The Ligue 1 heavyweights Rennes are ready to play host to the victorious team of the previous Europa Conference League, West Ham United.
Bruno Genesio’s Rennes have commenced their pre-season friendlies on a positive note with two victories and a single draw against all French teams. The club kicked off its pre-season campaign with a 1-1 tie against newly promoted Ligue 2 team, Concarneau. Fans were treated to a thrilling comeback victory over Saint-Malo, courtesy of Flavien Tait and Lovro Majer.
Rennes’ third match saw Ludovic Blas securing a narrow victory over Breton rivals Brest. Rennes are set to shift its focus from local skirmishes to international encounters, with the visit of West Ham followed by a trip to Nottingham Forest.

Renowned for their consistent performance in the Ligue 1, Rennes narrowly missed out on a Champions League spot last season, finishing fourth with 68 points. However, their placement has secured them a spot in the Europa League group-stage. It’s still unclear whether Rennes will start the group stage draw in Pot 1 or Pot 2. However, the upcoming game against West Ham might provide a glimpse into possible future European showdowns, especially if Rennes find themselves in Pot 2.
On the other hand, West Ham United, after a high scoring spree in their previous victories over Boreham Wood, Perth Glory, and Tottenham Hotspur, encountered a reality check in their last match against Dagenham. A 2-2 draw at the Chigwell Construction Stadium saw them losing their winning streak. Maxwel Cornet and Divin Mubama netted the ball, but the hosts clawed back each time, leading to a stalemate. The pre-season games are now set to move away from home ground for David Moyes’ side, with their first encounter against Rennes and a subsequent clash with Bayer Leverkusen.
Pre-season Performance and Noteworthy Statistics
Rennes’ form in friendlies: D-W-W West Ham United’s form in friendlies: W-W-W-D
Rennes are approaching this game with most of their key players in top form. Steve Mandanda and Xeka are on their way back from calf and ankle injuries respectively, and will likely see action in the game. On the other hand, West Ham are expected to bring back their top players such as Gianluca Scamacca, Michail Antonio, Danny Ings, and others for the game in Brittany.
Predictions and Analysis
Given the data at hand, my predictions for this match are as follows:
- Both teams to score: Considering the offensive capabilities of both Rennes and West Ham United, it’s reasonable to predict that both teams will find the net.
- Correct Score Prediction – 2-2: With Rennes averaging 1.8 goals per game and West Ham showing a strong offensive performance in their pre-season games, a 2-2 scoreline seems plausible.
- Goalscorer Prediction – Divin Mubama: Given his current form, netting in three successive pre-season matches, Mubama could be a likely candidate to score in this game.
