Lyon vs Rennes – Betting Analysis
Looking at their most recent head-to-head matches dating back to December 15, 2019, we can see that Lyon has won one and Rennes has won four, with one match ending in a tie.
In total, there were 22 goals scored in those contests, averaging out to 3.67 goals per match. The teams’ latest league meeting occurred on Ligue 1 Match Day 11 on October 16, 2022, with Rennes defeating Lyon 3-2.
Rennes had 41% of the control that day and 5 of their 14 shots were on goal. Amine Gouiri (47′) and Martin Terrier (38′, 77′) scored the goals.
Lyon’s adversaries had seven attempts at goal, five of which were on target. (23′, 72′) Alexandre Lacazette tallied. Stéphanie Frappart served as the judge for the game.
From a group of players who are otherwise completely prepared, Lyon coach Laurent Blanc only has one fitness concern. Malo Gusto is no longer eligible due to a hamstring injury.
We believe that Anthony Lopes, Sinaly Diomande, Dejan Lovren, Castello Lukeba, Sal Kumbedi, Johann Lepenant, Mathis Rayan Cherki, Thiago Mendes, Nicolas Tagliafico, Alexandre Lacazette, and Moussa Dembele will be chosen by Lyon to play in the 3-5-2 configuration.
Bruno Génésio, the manager of Rennes, is presently dealing with fewer team options. Martin Terrier (Cruciate Ligament Rupture), Xeka (Ankle Injury), and Adrien Truffert (Ankle Injury) cannot be taken into account.
With Steve Mandanda, Warmed Omari, Christopher Wooh, Arthur Theate, Hamari Traore, Desire Doue, Lesley Ugochukwu, Benjamin Bourigeaud, Birger Meling, Arnaud Kalimuendo, and Karl Toko Ekambi, we predict Rennes will choose a 3-5-2 formation. Although it might not be as many as Lyon will allow, we believe Rennes has the ability to break through their defense.
