Rennes vs Lens Prediction 12 May 2024

Match Preview

Rennes and Lens will face off in a crucial Ligue 1 clash at Roazhon Park in week 33 as both teams vie for a spot in Europe. Rennes are currently in 8th place, while Lens are in 6th.

Losses

Rennes is currently one of the few teams in Ligue 1 that does not have any injury concerns. Only one player, 18-year-old Mahamadou Nagida, is currently injured, and he is not considered a crucial player for the team.

On the other hand, Lens is facing a few injury issues ahead of their upcoming match. Three players are expected to be out, including Jimmy Cabot who has been dealing with a knee injury for a while now. Additionally, Ecuadorian Chavez and Moroccan El Aynaoui, who are both part of the starting lineup, will also miss the match due to injuries.

Head-to-head meetings

It is notable that Lens is one of Rennes' most disliked rivals. In the past seven meetings, Rennes has not won a single victory, and in four of those encounters, Frank Haise's players secured the wins. Additionally, the head-to-head meetings between these teams have always been uneventful in terms of goals. In seven out of eight games, the bet Total goals less than 2.5 was a winning bet.

Trends

  • Rennes has scored at least 3 goals in 4 consecutive matches.
  • Lens suffered 3 defeats in a row on the road.
Fouls

Rennes is an average French team that is not too aggressive in play and rarely commits fouls. On average, the team commits 12.3 fouls per game and receives 2.0 yellow cards.

On the other hand, Lens is known for playing a more aggressive game compared to Rennes. The team commits more fouls and is not afraid to make tackles, averaging 13.2 fouls per game. Of course, this also means that the visitors are more likely to receive yellow cards, with an average of 2.3 per game.

The upcoming match is very important for both teams, as it will determine their place in the top 6. In such a situation, we recommend paying attention to the total of more than 3.5 yellow cards.

Corner

In general, both teams try to play on the front foot, create threats at the penalty area of their rivals, so it is not surprising that they are among the leaders in the number of corners earned - 4.7 and 5.3, respectively. The bet Corners - Total more (9.5) looks logical.

Team Reviews

With just two gameweeks remaining in the season, Rennes is currently four points behind the top six teams. The chances of qualifying for European competitions next season are not very high. However, the team's position in the tournament does not seem to be affecting the mood of Julian Stefan's players. They continue to play their style of football and earn points. It is worth noting that Rennes' attack has been impressive, scoring a total of eleven goals in the last three games. Therefore, taking the bet Rennes Total goals more (1.5) could be a good option.

Lens has been facing difficulties in securing points lately. Since March 16, Frank Haise's team has only won two games, and both of those wins were against teams fighting against relegation (Clemont Foot and Lorient). However, the players have not gone without scoring goals for a long time. The Lens Total goals more (0.5) bet has won in twelve consecutive matches. Therefore, it is possible that the guests may break through Rennes' defense.

Editorial prediction

The outcome of the upcoming match will have a significant impact on the race for the European Cup spots. This is because it carries great prestige and extra money for the teams involved. In such situations, teams tend to play very cautiously and avoid taking any risks. The trend in the last seven full-time matches indicates that there have been less than 2.5 goals scored in six of them. Therefore, it is safe to assume that we should not expect a lot of goals in this match. This will be our main bet.
