Olympique Lyonnais - Rennes predictions

Olympique Lyonnais have a big mountain to climb. The task ahead is difficult but not impossible but with 2.62 slapped on home win in this match, this one is for the risk-takers.

Rennes are heading into a difficult fight, but it’s far from hopeless. They may need to bring their best, but the match can go any way at this point. The odds of an away win are 2.88 right now, which means the favourites are far from clear.

The 3:1 defeat Olympique Lyonnais recorded in the previous round was quite unexpected and does not show their current form in a positive light. Le Havre, the hosts in that bout, convincingly dominated the entire game.

Rennes are here after a striking performance against Nice last round. Playing in front of their fans on their home turf, they established dominance in the first 45 minutes and turned it into a convincing 2:0 win.

Though the 5 concessions over the past 3 away games for Olympique Lyonnais may not directly affect this particular match, such a history may be cause for concern for their supporters.

Scoring more than 5 times over their past 3 home games, Rennes have been playing with remarkable consistency lately. Although they’re the visitors this time, it’s an impressive record.

Olympique Lyonnais’s 16th spot in the standings is not about to impress anyone, but they’ve managed to steer clear of the relegation zone for now. They’re still a good chunk of the season to go through, however, and they’re heading into a relatively difficult matchup.

Looking at the previous time these squads clashed in this season, it’s no surprise that Olympique Lyonnais are the favourites. They managed to grab a narrow win playing as visitors, and it’s quite reasonable to expect them to do the same as the hosts.

The best thing to do in this game is to put down a Home Win or Draw Double Chance bet and feel fairly confident about it. All signs point to one of these two outcomes being the final result, and the 1.49 odds at 1xbet offer decent value.
