The action in France on Friday takes place in Lyon, as the hosts look to get back to winning ways in the league after falling to a defeat in their previous match. Rennes will be the visitors, as they go in search of a third straight victory in the French top flight.
It hasn’t been the start to the season that Lyon would have been hoping for, as they find themselves battling at the wrong end of the standings. The French side sits in the relegation playoff spot coming into the latest round, but their form has improved over recent weeks after claiming three wins from their last four matches.
In fact, a victory this weekend could lift Lyon up to 12th in the standings, and they could begin to plot a charge to finish in the top half. However, they will need to respond after falling to a loss in their most recent match in Ligue 1. Their latest loss was a bruising affair against Le Havre in mid January, as they lost 3-1. Lyon saw both Jake O’Brien and Duje Caleta-Car sent off in that defeat.
Rennes will be the more positive of the two sides coming into this showdown on Friday, as they have avoided defeat in their last three matches. Another victory this weekend could move the French side up to ninth, and within five points of the European positions in the league standings.
Rennes have picked up victories in each of their last two matches, with their most recent success coming against Nice on January 13. That was a straightforward success for the French side, with Benjamin Bourigenaud and Arnaud Kalimuendo finding the net in the success at home.
Lyon have picked up victories in each of their last two matches against Rennes in the league. That includes a 1-0 success away from home in the reverse fixture this term. However, Rennes has landed victories in three of the last five.
This should be a competitive fixture in Ligue 1 this weekend, and both sides should be capable of landing maximum points. However, the hosts have a solid recent record against Rennes and that could be the angle to follow on Friday. Therefore, we will be taking a chance on the home win.
