Rennes - Olympique Lyonnais predictions

Rennes have their work cut out for them if they want to beat Olympique Lyonnais. They are widely considered to be the weaker team – though the difference is not huge, to be fair. Overall, it’s shaping up to be an exciting showdown.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Rennes on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

Rennes are coming off from a rather disappointing 1:1 draw. They secured an early lead in an away game, but hopes were quickly dashed after Angers SCO scored a second-half equaliser.

The first half of Olympique Lyonnais’s previous home match against Olympique Marseille was a stalemate, but a deciding goal in the second half led to a narrow 1:0 home win. Considering Olympique Marseille were seen as more likely to win, Olympique Lyonnais’s fans have a lot to be happy about.

Olympique Lyonnais didn’t fare too well the last time they clashed with Rennes, recording a harsh defeat with a difference of several goals last season. They’re fairly likely to leave a better impression this time around, though, if the betting odds are to be believed.

We’re in for an exciting showdown – due to a complete lack of suspensions or injuries, both teams have their full lineups at their disposal. Because they are more likely to win, though, this should work out in the visitors’ advantage.

Our suggestion is to go for a Double Chance wager – specifically for Home or Draw. This wager is priced at 1.55 with William Hill and easily covers the most likely scenarios.
