Lille

DWWLDW

Lille go into this match after a 1-0 Ligue 1 win with the eclipse of Montpellier in their most recent match.

In that game, Lille had 60% possession and 15 shots on goal with 6 of them on target. The only player on the scoresheet for Lille was Yusuf Yazıcı (2'). Montpellier got 9 shots at goal with 5 of them on target.

Over the course of their last half-dozen outings, Lille have helped themselves to a tally of 8 goals. Lille have also not failed to score in every single one of those games. Over that period, they have seen 7 goals go against them. That pattern won’t necessarily be continued into this match, of course.

Leading up to this clash, Lille:

• remain undefeated by Rennes when having played them away from home in the previous 4 matches in the league. A very good run of results for them.
• are without a win away from home in their last 7 league matches.

👥 Head to head

ℹ️ Team News: Rennes

Almost everyone can be considered, as there’s just the lone fitness concern for the Rennes boss Bruno Génésio to be concerned with thanks to an almost full-strength group. Martin Terrier (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) will miss out.

It’s our opinion that Rennes should go for a 4-3-3 system in the match with Steve Mandanda, Lorenz Assignon, Warmed Omari, Arthur Theate, Adrien Truffert, Benjamin Bourigeaud, Nemanja Matic, Enzo Le Fee, Ludovic Blas, A. Kalimuendo-Muinga and Amine Gouiri.

📰 Team News: Lille

Thanks to a mainly healthy squad, there’s just the lone fitness worry for the Lille gaffer Paulo Fonseca to be concerned about. Tiago Djaló (Cruciate Ligament Rupture) won’t be playing here.

We reckon that LOSC seem most likely to make use of a 4-2-3-1 formation, going with Lucas Chevalier, Tiago Santos, Leny Yoro, Samuel Umtiti, Ismaily, Angel Gomes, Benjamin Andre, Edon Zhegrova, Remy Cabella, H. Arnar Haraldsson and Jonathan David.

🧠 Prediction

We’re thinking that Lille will need things to go their way to put one past this Rennes side who we think should score at least once to gain the upper hand.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a 1-0 winning score for Rennes when all is said and done.

Should be a close one.
