Lille vs Rennes Match Analysis and Prediction

2 years ago 404

Lille will welcome Rennes to Stade Pierre-Mauroy for their Ligue 1 final Matchday tie on Saturday night with kickoff at 22:00.

Lille will be looking to wind up what has been a miserable campaign on high when Rennes come calling. Lille sit at the middle of the table on 54 points from 37 games, six points above 11^th-place Brest and nine points outside the European places.

Therefore, Les Douges head into the match with nothing to fight for, but as mentioned earlier they will be looking to end their campaign on a high with back-to-back victories. They are coming off a 3-1 win over Nice and they will want to replicate the result in the Saturday clash.

Meanwhile Rennes have made an impressive campaign this season with the side claiming 65 points from 37 games and they sit fourth, three points behind both Monaco and Marseille in second and third places respectively, and two points above Strasbourg and Nice.

Therefore Rennes have much to fight four on Saturday as they are in contention for a Champions League finish, while a poor result could see them lose their European spot.

Rennes head into the match off the back off a 2-0 home victory over Marseille in Ligue 1 last Saturday. They have now won three of their last four league matches and should be confident of matching Lille here.

Lille vs Rennes head to head

Both sides have met in 54 encounters since 1994 with Lille claiming 22 victories, while Rennes have claimed 16 victories and there have been 16 draws.
