Rennes are looking to bounce back with a strong showing after their shock loss to Quevilly in the semi-finals of the Coupe de France in midweek. Coach Frederic Antonetti was highly critical of the 2-1 loss which cost Rennes a place in the final against Lyon on April 28, saying that he could not ``defend the indefensible''.

Nice : 4.90
Draw : 3.52
