Our Predictions
Both teams have shown resilience, and the odds suggest a balanced contest. Expect some attacking flair, making a high-scoring draw quite plausible, especially with Lens’s away goals and Rennes’s home attempts.
Lens are unbeaten in their last away matches, and their recent scoring pattern supports an away victory with both teams finding the net. Expect an open game with chances for both sides.
Rennes needs to tighten up at home, and recent performances show their struggles in attacking. A tight, low-scoring game with Rennes edging it is a defensively solid prediction.
Welcome to Extratips, football fans! Today, we're diving into the upcoming clash between Rennes and Lens, kicking off on September 28th at 18:45 local time in France. Rennes, sitting mid-table, will be eager to bounce back at home after a tough loss, while Lens, riding high in 9th, aim to extend their unbeaten streak. The odds tell a story: Bet365 gives Home at 2.35, Draw at 3.40, and Away at 2.90 — so expect a close battle. Rennes's recent form shows some struggles with just one win in their last five, while Lens boasts three wins and a draw in that span, showing greater consistency. Their last five head-to-heads aren’t stacked with goals, with the last ending 1-0 to Lens. Rennes has a decent home record, winning 2 of 4 matches, but their attack hasn't been firing on all cylinders recently. Lens’s away form is solid, with 2 wins, including a 3-1 victory over Brest. It’s a clash of contrasting styles: Rennes trying to tighten the ship at home, and Lens looking to frustrate them on the road. Expect a tight, tactical game with chances for both sides. Realistically, the match could go either way, but I see a low-scoring draw or a narrow away win sneaking through.
