Stade Rennes vs Olympique Lyon Prediction: Lyon won’t get better any time soon!

Stade Rennes were searching for a win after a couple of poor results in their league games, and they got the win over Panathinaikos in the Europa league match. They won the game 3-1 and now they hope to return to winning ways in these league games. Lyon are playing away from home here and they continue to struggle to find some form after their very abysmal start to the season. Lyon are yet to win a single game in the league this season and they recently played a 1-1 draw with Metz FC in their last game.

Stade Rennes are feeling confident coming into this game after their 3-1 win over Panathinaikos during midweek. Their league form has been poor prior to the win over Panathinaikos and they need to respond in this game. Their last 4 league games ended in 3 defeats and 1 draw. They lost their last match against OGC Nice away from home by 2 goals to nil. They conceded the opening goal in the 45th minute from Jeremie Boga and Steve Mandanda scored an own goal in the 87th minute to end the game in a defeat for Stade Rennes.

Currently, Stade Rennes are 11th on the Ligue 1 table, having 11 points from 12 points from 2 wins, 6 draws, and 3 defeats, and a goal difference of 1.

Renne's home form has been far from excellent, as they have 2 wins, 3 draws and 1 defeat in 1 home game this season.

Lyon’s dilemma needs no further introduction. They are currently at the bottom of the log after 10 matches played this season. They are also the only team without a win this season, as they had 4 draws and 6 defeats in 10 league games. Lyon have 3 defeats and 2 draws in 5 league games and they are coming into this game after playing a 1-1 draw with Metz FC. In that game, Albie Jallow put Metz ahead in the 77th minute, before Skelly Alvero equalized in the 84th minute to end the game as a draw at full time.

Lyon's away form is also very poor this season as they lost 3 away matches and drew 1. Their last away game ended in a 2-0 defeat against Stade Reims.

Stade Rennes and Lyon have played against each other 20 times in the past. Stade Rennes won 9 of the 20 matches, while Lyon won 7 and 4 matches ended in a draw.

Lyon’s current form is the major talking point in this game. They have been so poor all all season and there is no reason to trust them to get a better result in this game.

Rennes have conceded a goal in their last 6 meetings with Lyon and Lyon have conceded in their last 4. 5 out of their last 6 matches ended with more than 2.5 goals and with both teams scoring.Rennes scored first in 6 of their last 8 matches against Lyon.
