Rennes vs Lorient Predictions

• Both teams have scored in four of Rennes’ last five Ligue 1 games.
• Lorient have scored ten and conceded six in their last five matches.

In-form Rennes can punish relegation candidates

Relegation candidates Lorient saw their three-match winning streak come to an end last time out and another defeat is expected when they visit an in-form Rennes.

The hosts head into Sunday’s game unbeaten in eight Ligue 1 games and have won six of those, although with only one clean sheet in their last five league affairs the visitors should be able to find the net.

Expect goals at Roazhon Park

Lorient, who sit 16th in the table, have enjoyed something of a resurgence lately and have scored ten goals across their last five matches. They only have one clean sheet in their last 12, though, so backing both teams to score is a solid prospect.

I do expect the hosts to win at Roazhon Park. Lorient have conceded three or more in five of their last ten league away games and Rennes have won 3-1 in two of their last five at home, so that’s my correct score prediction for Sunday’s meeting.
