After returning from European assignments, both Lyon and Rennes will be looking to settle fast in Ligue 1, where they are unbeaten. Hosts Lyon arrive for this match, placed fifth, while Rennes are third. Two points separate the two, but our prediction backs Lyon, who have won three of their last four home games against Rennes.
Lyon’s season hasn’t been quite consistent, but they’ll be gunning for a second straight win here. Les Gones are coming off a 2-1 victory away to Anderlecht in the Europa League.
That marked a fourth unbeaten outing for the hosts, but two of those were drawn. Lyon will seek more inspiration in their home form against Rennes, having scored 10 goals in the last three home games against this opponent.
Parc Olympique Lyonnais hasn’t been a great hunting ground for Rennes. They have lost three times in the last four matches, and in the process they conceded more than 10 goals.
It won’t be any easier for them, as they are coming from an away game in Europe. Rennes played to a 0-0 draw with Sturm Graz in the Europa League.
That left them with just one win in four away matches, while in Ligue 1 they lost twice in the last three. The visitors come into this game off the back off three straight wins in Ligue 1, a run of form they won’t want to drop at the moment.

Our Lyon vs Rennes Prediction
The team playing at home rarely loses in this fixture, at least as per the recent meetings. It therefore means Lyon are the likeliest to prevail here, but they’ll have to work for that against a Rennes side on three straight wins domestically.
That may not be all, as this fixture has in the recent past been high-scoring. At least three goals were netted in each of the last five meetings between these teams. Our prediction for Lyon v Rennes is for Lyon to win + over 2.5 goals.
