Lyon vs Rennes Predictions

• Lyon have won five of their last six games in all competitions
• Rennes have only won one of their eight away matches
• There have been under 2.5 goals in six of Rennes’ last eight Ligue 1 road games

Lyon turning things around

Lyon had a nightmare start to the campaign, winning just one of their first 14 games to sit in the relegation zone. Three wins from their last four in the league have seen them rise to 16th however and they may finally have turned around their issues.

The hosts have kept clean sheets in four of their last six matches in all competitions, winning five of those games. If they can continue that defensive solidity they should be able to continue their rise up the table and start heading toward mid table.

Despite their struggles they have only lost four of their nine home games in the league and are fancied to continue their progress with a crucial three points in this matchup.

Rennes struggle on the road

Rennes’ have been stretched thin this season by a considerable European campaign and they have struggled on the road as a result. The visitors have only won one of their eight away matches in the league and are just six points clear of Lyon, a gap the hosts could begin to bridge with a victory in this matchup.

Don’t expect a high-scoring clash though, this pair have only netted 42 goals between them in 36 games and six of Rennes’ eight away league games this season have gone under 2.5 goals.

Correct score backers should consider siding with Lyon to win this one 2-0.
