Rennes vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Indran | in Ligue 1 Prediction
Rennes play host to Lyon at Roazhon Park on Sunday in the French Ligue 1. Both these teams have almost identical records this season and are both on 19 points after 12 matches. They are only seperated by goal difference with Rennes having a better goal difference.Both these teams are chasing Champions League spots and are just three points behind third placed Marseille in the race for a European spot. Rennes are on a great run and are eight games unbeaten in all competitions and are coming off a 2-2 draw away to Troyes in the last round. In the league, they are six games unbeaten with their last defeat coming against Marseille. This is currently the longest unbeaten streak from any team in the league. They have won their last three home matches without conceding a goal and scoring nine in the process. Rennes have not won any of the last six home matches against Lyon and the last time they beat them was a 2-0 victory in 2014.
Lyon were on a four game unbeaten run in the league before they were beaten 3-2 away to Nice. They bounced back after that loss and won 2-1 at home against Lens. Lyon have not won any of their three previous away matches in the league and have not had an away win drought like this since 2019. Lyon have conceded 17 goals this season and this is the worst defensive record among the top 10 teams. They have kept just 2 clean sheets in the 12 matches this season. Lyon have been a regular participant in the Champions league but their indifferent form sees them in danger of missing out unless they fix their problems in defence.

Our Rennes vs Lyon Prediction
There is very little to choose between these teams and not only do they have the same points but they have the same number of wins, draws and losses. Rennes have struggled to beat Lyon while Lyon have struggled to win away from home and this is the reason we suggest you back the draw as the best result in this game.
