Rennes - Lorient predictions

This match is somewhat one-sided, but not the most imbalanced clash we’ve seen. The odds are heavily in the hosts’ favour, who will likely walk away with 3 more points to the tally.

From the current viewpoint, the situation is unambiguous. Considering the strength of Rennes and the 7.85 odds given to Lorient to win, it is easy to see that a win for the visiting team would be a remarkable upset.

Rennes are coming on the back of a 1:1 draw in their latest away game at Paris Saint Germain . Though such a result can’t be called a triumph, it’s about as close to it as you can get. Paris Saint Germain were considered a safe bet at odds of 1.47 – but Rennes took an early lead, and the favourites barely managed to equalize before the end.

Lorient’s latest home game against Nantes was a bit uneventful, ending in a narrow 0:1 defeat. While the loss is not great, we should remember that Lorient were considered underdogs going in – if only by a thin margin.

Rennes are a force to be reckoned with when met on their home turf, which is the case here. They currently have a trend going on with more than 5 goals scored over the last 3 home games, and they’ll certainly be looking to continue it.

Rennes will have to make use of this opportunity if they want to climb the table up from their current spot at number 7th. There is still time left, but the clock is already ticking.

With just 5 points between them and the relegation zone, Lorient can’t be too comfortable heading into this unfavourable matchup. Thankfully, a good chunk of the season is still ahead of them.

We already saw these two teams clash this season, and Lorient carried off a narrow home win. The roles are reversed this time, however, and the betting odds are marking Rennes as somewhat more likely to win.

Lorient 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 - Igor Carioca, Bonke Innocent, Quentin Boisgard, Benjamin Mendy will all be unable to perform.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 1.75 odds offered at Betway.
