Lyon fell to a surprising defeat away at St-Etienne last Sunday. They lost 2-1 as their bid for a late charge for the Champions League places in Ligue 1 got derailed.
It’s their second loss in the previous five encounters, alongside three wins. The reverse also ended a two-match winning run that had them within touching distance of the top four. They currently sit 6th with 51 points, two behind 4th-placed LOSC and three form Monaco in third.
Paulo Fonseca and his charges will need to get back to winning ways when they host Stade Rennais on Saturday. They’ll be without right winger Ernest Niamah, who’s out with a cruciate ligament tear.
My football bet for Saturday’s game leans heavily on the manager’s team selection after their extra-time exit from the Europa League at the hands of Manchester United. With fatigue playing a role, Lyon need to refocus quickly to their Ligue 1 run-in, with Rennes waiting in the wings.
Lyon predicted lineup vs Rennes (4-2-2-2): Descamps; Vinicius, Niakhaté, Ćaleta-Car, Kumbedi; Veretout, Tessmann; Tolisso, Cherki; Mikautadze, Lacazette.
Recently, Rennes ran out 2-1 winners at home to ten-man Nantes. The victory created back-to-back wins in Ligue 1 as they finished in the top half of the table.
The squad have won three times and lost twice in their last five outings. They’ll try to make it three consecutive wins when they travel to Parc Olympique on Saturday.
They currently sit 10th on the table with 38 points, 11 from safety, with four matches still to go in the season. With their Ligue 1 status all but secured, Habib Beye will hope his charges retain the hunger and motivation to go for the win against Lyon.
My prediction shows a tough fixture for Rennes as they bid to win away to Lyon.
Rennes predicted lineup vs Lyon: (3-5-2): Samba; Jacquet, Rouault, Brassier; Assignon, Matusiwa, Cisse, Fifa, Truffert; Al-Taamari, Kalimuendo.
Bet hereWith three victories in their last five Ligue 1 outings, Lyon are in steady form ahead of their clash against Rennes. They’ve shown resilience and the ability to bounce back quickly. They still have an outside chance of finishing in a Champions League place with four matches to go.
The hosts will also have an edge this weekend due to the quality of their talented squad. Attackers like Alexandre Lacazette and Rayan Cherki are likely to cause Rennes problems. In contrast, Stade Rennais have been poor on the road, which, according to my prediction, makes Lyon the stronger contender, especially in front of their fans.
The home team have shown a solid defensive performance at Parc Olympique. Compared to their travels, they’ve conceded fewer goals in front of their supporters, which bolsters their chance of keeping a clean sheet against Rennes.
Stade Rennais have battled to score away from home, which could limit their ability to find the back of the net against Lyon’s defence.
My analysis reveals that the motivation for Lyon’s Champions League qualification will keep them more alert compared to Rennes. This makes them likely to dominate the game and keep a clean sheet.
