Ligue 1: Rennes are ready for the visit of Lille in what is nearly guaranteed to be an engrossing football fixture. Tipsway gives you a thorough preview!
- Rennes have the fewest conceded goals in the first half (4) in Ligue 1
- Lille have played more matches over 2,5 goals away than home.
There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.
Rennes form and stats
The home supporters can't complain about results here at Roazhon Park as Rennes have scored 17 goals to get 19 points from 8 games. The overall stats in the Ligue 1 are 6-1-1 (wins-draws-losses). Rennes has won so many consecutive home games (five in a row) that they struggle to remember the last time points were lost here at Roazhon Park. We remember; it was Reims.
The Rennes goalkeeper Alfred Benjamin Gomis is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 180 minutes without conceding a goal in the Ligue 1.
Happy days for Rennes in their previous game, a Ligue 1 match away at Lorient (placed 15th) that ended with a 2-0 victory. Attacking player Gaëtan Laborde bested all the other players in that game and got a match rating of 7.81 out of 10. Laborde scored one goal and hit two key passes.
Before that, Rennes drew at home versus Vitesse.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 twelve games) they have won eight times, drawn one and lost three.
There's a new game coming up fairly quickly for Rennes as they are travelling to their away game against Saint-Étienne in the Ligue 1. That match is four days after this one.
Rennes can score goals in their home matches. After 8 league matches they have found the net 17 times. As for guarding their own goal, Rennes have only let in 4 goals at home.
Lille form and stats
The hunting on away grounds haven’t been very fruitful for Lille so far with only 6 points returning home. The records show 1-3-4 (win-draw-lose). With three draws in a row for Lille the feeling in the team is perhaps one of both relief and disappointment.
Lille played 1-1 against Nantes in their previous match. Midfield player Benjamin André was the top player of the team with a match rating of 7.5/10. André had 53 successful passes (of 64 total).
That result followed a home victory 1-0 versus Salzburg in the Champions League.We have checked recent matches where Lille have had similar odds to win. Win-draw-lose statistics from those seven games were four victories, two draws and one defeat.
The visitors are returning home after this fixture, hosting Troyes in just three days.
Lille have scored 10 goals on their travels this season, from 8 away games in the league. Lille have conceded 13 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
