Olympique Lyonnais form and stats

Olympique Lyonnais have collected 11 points from their Ligue 1 home games so far after 3-2-3.

Olympique Lyonnais drew their last game, also a home match. RB Leipzig was the opponent, 2-2 the score. Before that match, a Ligue 1 win away at Nimes.

There was plenty of action in the dying minutes of the game against RB Leipzig as M. Depay's goal in the 82nd minute completed a cancellation of 0-2 and secured a point.

The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Olympique Lyonnais's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played one game, won 0 matches, drawn 1 and lost 0.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Olympique Lyonnais, as the Coupe de la Ligue home game vs Toulouse is only three days away.

The Olympique Lyonnais fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 11 in 8 matches. Olympique Lyonnais are not conceding a lot of goals here at Groupama Stadium in the league, averaging less than one per game. The total is 5 from 8 matches.

Rennes form and stats

3 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses. That’s the product of Rennes playing as the away team in the Ligue 1 this season.

Rennes won their last game, 2-0 versus Lazio played at home. Before that, Rennes secured a home win against Angers SCO with the score 2-1.

As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Rennes playing away, we found one game. Results were 0 away wins, 0 draws and 1 home win.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Rennes manager J. Stéphan as the team has another away game coming up in only three days, this time against Amiens SC.

Rennes find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 8 goals from 8 away fixtures in the league. Rennes are defending well in their away games, having conceded only 7 times in 8 matches. For more goal statistics, check out the Statistics tab above.
