The past few weeks haven't been Lyon’s best, and they will seek some positivity when they host Rennes on Saturday. Heading into matchday 31 of Ligue 1, Lyon are sixth and Rennes 10th in the standings. We have a prediction for this clash below. Lyon stayed stuck on 51 points after their rather shocking defeat at Saint-Etienne last time out. Tanner Tessmann’s late goal in the 2-1 loss was a mere consolation after being outplayed by the relegation-threatened side. That defeat came on the heels of their elimination from the Europa League by Manchester United. Les Gones are now three points adrift of the top three and will hope the gap doesn’t get wider. 

Rennes are paying the price for a poor start to the season. As things stand, they can get into the European football slots. Les Rouge et Noirs have so far amassed 38 points, with 12 more to play for. They will arrive for this match psyched up after posting their third win in four matches when they beat Nantes 2-1 on Friday. While there is some consistency in their recent run. Rennes will be tested to the core by Lyon. Their last three games were all against sides in the relegation battle – Nantes, Le Havre and Angers. However, four wins in the last five away league games is worth mentioning.

Our Lyon vs Rennes Prediction

This fixture has been dominated by Lyon over the past few years, but mostly, it is known for high scores. The reverse match saw Lyon carry the day in a 3-0 win. That was the sixth time in seven matches that this game returned over 2.5 goals.

Apart from that, these two sides have in their own recent matches, been prolific in attack. Over 2.5 goals is a regular stat in their individual matches and we expect the trend to extend. Our prediction for Lyon v Rennes is for over 2.5. 

Prediction :

 

Over 2.5 goals
