Rennes - Lille betting tips and odds

Rennes will have to put on their best performance to record a home win against Lille. The price of 2.85 indicates a difficult battle and that’s exactly what we expect to see in this match.

The visitors are well-aware of the task ahead. Beating Rennes is difficult under any circumstances and doing it on their own turf would be an even bigger achievement for Lille.

Rennes are coming on the back of a narrow 1:2 away win against Brest in the previous round. Their play lacked decisiveness in the first half, but they snagged the deciding goal in the latter stages of the game.

Lille secured three more points on the scoreboard after their previous home game against Reims, though the performance itself gave the fans little cause for celebration. A relatively weaker opponent was in the lead for most of what should have been an easy match.

Lille netted 6 goals in the last three away games, implying a very strong attack-minded performance even as visitors.

With a 5th spot in the standings, Rennes are on their way to a Europa League qualification. The competition ahead of them is still tough, however, and their ambitions are probably higher with Champions League anthem ringing in their ears.

We’re at round 21 of this season’s proceedings and Lille are on their way to the Champions League – assuming they’ll be able to keep up the pace for the other half of the season. Beating RennesS in an away game will be their next hurdle, and it’s not an easy one to get over.

These teams are relatively close in terms of form, so our suggestion is to go for a Draw result. However, lengthening the odds with a Draw/Draw HT/FT bet is an even better option. It pushes the odds to 4.50 while the risks remain largely the same.
