Rennes-Lyon

Rennes host Lyon in an intriguing matchup where both teams will look to assert their dominance. Rennes have had a mixed set of results recently, including a hard-fought victory against Werder Bremen but also a stumbling defeat to Guingamp. Their defense has shown vulnerabilities but their attack can be potent, especially at home.

Lyon, on the other hand, have been more consistent with a mixture of high-scoring wins and some steadfast defensive performances. Their recent 4-0 away win against Union Berlin highlighted their attacking prowess, though they’ve also faced setbacks, such as their loss to Arsenal.

Historically, head-to-head encounters have often been high-scoring affairs with recent meetings frequently seeing both teams finding the back of the net. Lyon have had the upper hand more frequently in these matchups, and their current form suggests they might continue this trend. Given both teams’ recent scoring patterns and defensive lapses, this game is likely to see goals from both sides and potentially exceed the 2.5 goals mark.
