Rennes could only manage a point from their midweek trip to Nantes, with the game ending goalless, while Lyon secured all 3pts from their five-goal thriller at home to Lens. Those results mean that Lyon extended their lead at the top of the table to 3pts and moved 7pts clear of fifth-placed Rennes in the process.
Interestingly, each of the last six meetings between these two clubs have ended in an away win, which is a good omen for the visitors Lyon this weekend. Each of the last three encounters between Rennes and Lyon have been decided via a narrow one-goal margin, suggesting that Saturday’s clash will be a tight and tense affair.
Both teams head into this game in good form but, with five wins and a draw from their last six matches, Lyon claim the title of form favourites. Rennes have only lost one of their last six matches in all competitions and could prove a tough nut to crack, but four of their last six home games in league and cup have ended in defeat.
We’re backing a win for the in-form visitors this weekend, as recent history suggests that the away side are most likely to claim all 3pts. As for a final scoreline, we’re predicting a close and competitive 90-minutes and have opted for a narrow 2-1 away win.
