Rennes - Lille predictions

Rennes may come out on top this Sunday yet, but it will be quite a struggle. They’ll be fighting a somewhat stronger team in Lille. However, it’s still a relatively balanced matchup, as signified by the 2.58 for the hosts to win.

The visiting team understands the difficulty of the task that lies ahead. A win against Rennes on their own field would be a major feat, and it is always a tough endeavor.

Rennes are here on the back of a convincing 0:2 away victory against Saint-Étienne in the previous round. They played confidently throughout the match – most experts predicted a narrow win, but few expected such a rout for the opposition.

Imagine the surprise of Lille fans when their highly favoured team conceded an early goal in the last round against Le Havre. Their efforts to get back in the game ended up being futile as they recorded a shocking 1:2 defeat in the end.

Rennes have a notably poor defensive record when it comes to playing as visitors. We’re mostly referring to the 5 conceded goals over their latest 3 away games. They are playing as hosts this time around, but you should be aware before you put down any money.

Lille and their attackers have already shown a level of consistency so far this season, which is always good for betting. They’ve bagged more than 5 goals over the past 3 Ligue 1 matches which is definitely a thing to consider ahead of this game.

Although the 2.58 betting odds for a home win show that Rennes are the favourites, their track record against Lille this season is not great. They lost an earlier bout, though it was a rather narrow defeat.

An Over 2.5 Goals is a great bet if you like staying on the safe side. The betting value for this market is strong compared even to the 2.03, which makes this an easy betting prediction to make.
