Traditional Sunday Free Tip – Peter Fields

Rennes is undefeated at home this season, being overall 4-2-1with 17-11 goal record. They destroy Sochaux away last week 6-2 (!), and are really showing huge offensive skills from the beginning of the season. Expected 11 : Costil / Theophile – Mavinga – Kana Biyik – Danzé / Mvila – Pajot / Pitriopa – Feret – Montano / Hadji. Brahimi – Boukari – Mangane and Apam are absent Saint-Etienne, after a good start, is struggling, as they didn’t have a sngle win from the last 5. They lost last week 3-0 in Lorient and had a late draw 1-1 at home against Toulouse. They have so many injured than they have to make play 16 years old defender Ghoulam and second choice players as Néry or Guilavogui. Expected 11 : Ruffier / Néry – Paulao – Mignot – Ghoulam / Guilavogui – Clément / Nicolita – Lemoine – Sako / Aubameyang. Alonso – Andreu – Perrin – Marchal – Sinama Pongolle are injured, Sanogo – Bayal – Monsoreau are out of the group, coach decision. Odds are 1.75 for Rennes win, and 2.05 with -0.75 handicap. It will be really hard for Saint-Etienne tonight, as they have troubles to score away, as Rennes is impressive and efficient offensively and as the H2H story isn’t really good for Saint-Etienne at “Route de Lorient” stadium My pick W for Rennes
