There's been ups and downs for these two teams so far this season, occupying positions near the middle of the Ligue 1 table so far. Here's the Rennes - Lens latest:
- Rennes have played more matches over 2,5 goals home than away.
- Lens has the most conceded goals in the second half (14) in Ligue 1
These are busy days for the home team, as they were in action only three days ago in the Champions League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Krasnodar.
Rennes form and stats
Overall Ligue 1 stats at home this season for Rennes are 3-1-2 (wins-draw-losses).
Rennes are hoping to put things right at home after a defeat in their previous match, the score 0-1 away versus Krasnodar. 1-1 away at Strasbourg before that.
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 Rennes have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found 14 games) they have won nine times, drawn three and lost two.
Another home game is coming up fairly shortly for the hosts, as Sevilla are coming to town in three days.

Lens form and stats
2-1-2 is the win-draw-loss statistic for Lens in their Ligue 1 matches away.

Lens are the outsiders in this one, but not by much. Their performance in similar games (being the away team and moderate outsiders) is zero wins, zero draws and two defeats. From a total of two matches.
