Rennes - Lille betting tips and odds

The online bookies marked Rennes as the favourites, which makes a lot of sense. Still, we wouldn’t put Lille winning beyond them – not to mention that draws are a strong possibility in relatively balanced games.

With the betting odds being what they are, this match could still go either way. Still, the fact that Lille are generally the weaker team makes this match an uphill battle for them.

Rennes played their previous Ligue 1 match away and walked away with a rather disheartening draw. Although initial predictions were relatively optimistic, they failed to gain a lead throughout the match and the two teams were tied from beginning to end.

There’s not a lot that can be said about Lille’s previous performance because the whole affair was rather predictable. An early lead allowed them to stroll their way to a comfortable 1:0 home win against Montpellier.

Rennes have a reputation for consistently scoring high, especially in the past few matches. Records show more than 5 goals scored in total over their previous 3 outings, which is a fairly strong result.

The closest goal for Rennes currently is to try and move up to a Europa League qualifying spot. Though we’re still early in the season, this match is a notable obstacle standing in their way.

In the previous season of Ligue 1, we saw Rennes lose to Lille quite badly. However, this year, most bookmakers see them as the favourites of this matchup.

Saturday's match will see both teams at full strength, able to utilize all their players.

This is a solid match for those that like betting on longshots. Our advice is to pick Draw/Home on the Half Time/Full Time market. The probability of winning is not that high if we’re being honest, but it’s the best offer if you’re shooting for betting value.
