📊 Form Guide
Lille
LLWLWW
Lille, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after a 0-3 Conference League success over Sturm Graz.
For Lille, goals were scored by Jonathan David (28', 51') and Edon Zhegrova (71').
Lille haven’t had any problems with scoring, netting every time they’ve gone out to play in their last 6 games.
They’ve claimed a sum of 9 during that period while also conceding a total of 8. That kind of trend won’t necessarily be sustained into this game, though.
Their previous form shows that Lille:
- are unbeaten in the league by Rennes in their last 9 games. Quite a long unbeaten run against them.
- are undefeated in their previous 8 home league matches. They have been so resilient here.
Rennes
LWWDWL
Since a losing effort in their last game against FC Lorient in Ligue 1 action, Rennes and their fans will hope to get a better result this time.
In that game, Rennes managed 55% possession and 23 attempts at goal with 6 on target. The only player to score for Rennes was Amine Gouiri (94'). At the other end, Lorient got 12 attempts on goal with 6 on target. Mohamed Bamba (59') and Eli Junior Kroupi (90') scored for FC Lorient.
Demonstrating their bias toward productive matches, goals have been celebrated 21 times in the prior 6 games in which Rennes have sent out their troops, giving an average of 3.5 goals each fixture. Their opponents have hit 10 of these goals.
Looking at their past form shows that Rennes:
- have not beaten Lille when having played them away from home in the previous 5 league games. They really have not been travelling well at all.
- have not lost to Lille in away games against them for the last 3 league matches.
- are undefeated in their previous 5 league matches away from home.
↔️ Head to head
An examination of their past head-to-head meetings stretching back to 24/01/2021 tells us that Lille have won 3 of these & Rennes 0, with the tally of drawn results being 3.
A combined sum of 18 goals were yielded between them throughout the course of those matches, with 11 from LOSC and 7 being from Rennes. This gives an average number of goals per game equal to 3.
The last league contest between these sides was Ligue 1 match day 5 on 16/09/2023 when the final score was Rennes 2-2 Lille.
That day, Rennes had 47% possession and 7 shots at goal with 4 on target. Goals were scored by Lorenz Assignon (74') and Ibrahim Salah (89').
At the other end, Lille got 9 attempts at goal with 6 on target. Leny Yoro (33') and Bafodé Diakité (62') scored.
The referee was Jérôme Brisard.
ℹ️ Team News: Lille
Looking at personnel, there is just one fitness concern for the Lille manager Paulo Fonseca to contend with from an otherwise complete squad. Andrej Ilic (Broken fibula) won’t play.
In our view, LOSC look set to use the 4-3-3 system for this one, utilising Lucas Chevalier, Tiago Santos, Bafode Diakite, Leny Yoro, Ismaily, Benjamin Andre, Nabil Bentaleb, Angel Gomes, Edon Zhegrova, Jonathan David and H. Arnar Haraldsson.
ℹ️ Team News: Rennes
Rennes boss Julien Stéphan has to choose a team with limited availability. Enzo Le Fée (Hamstring injury) and Mahamadou Nagida (Knee injury) are those who can’t be considered.
We’re of the thinking that Rennes seem likely to make use of a 4-4-2 system, starting the game with Steve Mandanda, Guela Doue, Christopher Wooh, Arthur Theate, Adrien Truffert, Benjamin Bourigeaud, Baptiste Santamaria, Azor Matusiwa, Ludovic Blas, Amine Gouiri and A. Kalimuendo-Muinga.
✨ Prediction
When taking all factors into account, Rennes are likely to breach the defence of this Lille lineup, but it might not quite be as many as they will have scored against them.
We’re tipping a 2-1 winning score for Lille when the full-time whistle blows. It really should be an interesting one.
