Lille - Rennes predictions

Lille should not have bigger problems running away with three points in this match if they stick to their game plan. However, Rennes can be a tough nut to crack and the home side need to be on top of their game.

The visitors would need to pull off quite a stunt in order to come out victorious. They are severely outmatched in this outing – the 4.16 away win odds alone should speak volumes.

The home side had their fans sitting on the edge of the seat last time in the Ligue 1. Lille played a tough game away from home and had a win in the bag for the first 45 minutes. They had a great chance of landing what would have been three important points but failed to keep it until the end. However, a point away is nothing to scoff at.

The previous round of the Ligue 1 featured a matchup between Rennes and Toulouse – two squads of comparable skill, according to the betting odds. However, Toulouse were already ahead 45 minutes in despite playing as the visitors, and ended up winning 0:2

With 6 goals in their own net over the last 3 fixtures, Rennes's backline has much to be wished for

The visitors are hoping to put some more distance between them and the relegation zone, which is currently only 2 points away. With a team like Lille coming up, though, that might be difficult. They’re clear underdogs in this matchup. Thankfully, the season is still in its early stages.

The last time these two teams met in a Ligue 1 match was last season. That game ended in a draw. Lille have a lot more going for them this time, however, including a home-field advantage and favourable betting odds.

With Hákon Haraldsson, Nabil Bentaleb, Samuel Umtiti, Mohamed Bayo, Thomas Meunier, André Gomes all out of the picture, Lille’s lineup is in shambles. The odds may favour them though but we still advise some caution.

An Under 2.5 Goals bet is an easy tip to offer – it’s a fairly probable outcome with betting odds priced at a comfortable 1.95. More importantly, though, the betting value it offers is surprisingly solid.
