Rennes - Lille betting tips and odds

While the scales seem somewhat tipped in the hosts’ favour, the win is anyone’s to take. Statistically speaking, all 3 outcomes to this match are quite possible, making reliable betting predictions hard to come by.

The visitors understand the difficulty of the task at hand. To beat Rennes on their own turf would be a major feat, and it is always a tough challenge.

Rennes left a strong impression in their previous home game against Strasbourg . The 3:0 victory itself may have been predictable, but the overwhelming success which they achieved is nothing to scoff at.

Lille are coming on the back of a rather disappointing HT/FT draw in their most recent home game. They had a lot going for them before kick-off, with both favourable betting odds and home-field advantage. Unfortunately for them, the game ended up being one long standstill.

Rennes’s recent Ligue 1 away games were marked by a lot of concessions – 7 over the last 3 matches, to be exact. Therefore, betting on goals might be a fairly reasonable option here.

The most noteworthy bit of the away team’s recent records is that they scored more than 5 times during their latest 3 home games. The home-field advantage doesn’t translate into the match this Saturday, but their strikers are still fairly consistent.

The 1 point Rennes need to get to the Europa League don’t seem like much, but getting them is easier said than done. Thankfully, they’ll have plenty of chances to do so, though many will be just as difficult as this showdown on Saturday.

Rennes have had the chance to play against Lille several times this season, albeit not always as part of the Ligue 1. The matchup recorded several draws and failed to produce a winner so far, but the favourites Rennes are hoping to finally gain a clear advantage over their opponents.

Lille will have an even more difficult time of this match than what was expected. They will be missing at least a few players due to injury - Benjamin André, Jonathan Bamba, Jonathan David, André Gomes will all be unable to perform.

If you’re hunting for betting value, a Draw bet is by far your best option. Success is definitely not guaranteed, but the 3.65 odds provide a decent enough return to make the risk worth it.
