Lille form and stats

Lille have performed here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy this season with 8 wins from 11 Ligue 1 matches. Some points have been lost, as they have drawn 2 games and lost 1.

A good away victory last time out for Lille, who won 2-1 against Strasbourg (placed 11th). A Coupe de France defeat was the result before that one, 1-2 away at Epinal.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Lille have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won ten times, drawn two and lost two.

There will be little rest for Lille after this match as they are travelling to Angers SCO for a Ligue 1 game in only three days.

Lille have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Stade Pierre-Mauroy with 18 goals in 11 league matches. From these home matches, Lille have conceded only 7 goals.

Rennes form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team on their Ligue 1 travels is 5 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats.

Rennes are travelling after their nice 3-2 home win in the Ligue 1 against Nantes (placed 9th). Prior to that result Rennes won their away game at Angers SCO in the Coupe de France. The scoreline was 5-4.

Late drama in the previous game, when Raphinha scored the winning goal eight minutes into stoppage time to defeat Nantes.

We have checked recent matches where Rennes have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those three games were Wone-Done-Lone.

A quick return to home after this game, as Rennes are hosting Brest in the Ligue 1 only four days away.

Rennes find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 11 goals from 11 away fixtures in the league. Rennes are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 8 times in 11 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
