Rennes form and stats

Rennes have played 18 games at their own stadium so far this season, resulting in 7-7-4 (wins-draws-losses). Rennes has four consecutive draws when playing at home, an interesting stat.

A good away victory last time out for Rennes, who won 2-0 against Strasbourg. The points were shared before that, a home game that ended 1-1 versus Guingamp.

This is expected to be a close game, with Rennes perhaps considered small favourites due to their home advantage. Looking back at earlier matches similar to this one (expected to be close with Rennes as a small favourite), we find six games. Rennes has won 3 of these, drawn 2 and lost 1.

Rennes has scored 24 goals at home this season, in 18 matches. From these home matches, Rennes have conceded only 17 goals.

Lille form and stats

The story so far for the visiting team, who have the fewest conceded goals (30) in Ligue 1, on their travels is 9 wins, 5 draws and 4 defeats. The away team travel with confidence. Not since the Rennes game have they lost an away game, meaning Lille has taken points from seven away matches in a row.

The supporters enjoyed Lille's previous game versus Angers SCO, a Ligue 1 5-0 win played at home. That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Bordeaux.

As mentioned above, this is an open game with no clear favourite. We have found nine similar matches played by Lille in our archives, and the results are: 5 wins for Lille, 0 draws and 4 defeats.

Lille find the net in their away games, although not all the time. 25 goals from 18 away fixtures. As opposed to that, Lille have seen the ball go into their own net 19 times on the road.

Head 2 Head

The two sides played each other earlier this season: Lille - Rennes 3-1. Last ten meetings between the teams: Rennes won 4, Lille won 3 and 3 draws. 5 games with over 2,5 goals, 5 matches with two goals or less.
