Lens will go on a quest to reclaim the Ligue 1 leadership again when they host Rennes next. Heading into this match, Lens are second in the standings, while Rennes are sixth. Let’s have a look at the prediction here.
Lens recovered from their 3-1 defeat to Marseille with a 1-0 win at home to Le Havre. With 46 points, they trail leaders POSG by two ahead of this encounter.
As they boast the best home record in the league, les Sang et Or will be confident of overcoming a side that has lately been off-color. Draws have been the dominant result in the last 10 meetings between these sides.
Lens carry a 10-game unbeaten run against Rennes, but only won four.
Rennes forced a 0-0 draw in the reverse fixture and will hope to improve on it here. However, that doesn’t look so likely, for the side that has suffered three defeats in the last four visits to Lens.
It has been over 10 years since Rennes last won an away game against Lens. They won’t like the fact that they come into this game on a poor run, having failed to win any of their last four outings.
Les Rouge et Noirs are coming from a 3-0 defeat at Marseille in the French Cup. That was their third straight defeat, all in which they failed to score.

Our Lens vs Rennes Prediction
Rennes have dropped off badly in 2026, having finished last year very strongly. Last week they were thumped 4-0 by Monaco, and this week they got eliminated from the French Cup. Their scoring run has also been poor, and this will be a tough one for them.
Lens are looking to keep up the pressure on PSG, and this looks like an ideal match to go for three points in. Our prediction for Lens v Rennes is for Lens to win with a clean sheet.
