Rennes vs Lille Preview and Team News
Rennes Team News
Rennes will have to play out of their skins in order to compete against Lille in this game at home on Sunday, but they will be deeply aware of the differences between the two sides.
However, the home team have their own advantages, and will be looking to press high whenever they lose the ball to reclaim it as quickly as possible. They are currently ranked 12th in the league table with 23 points.

Rennes like to allow their wide players to make runs into the final third, and in turn, send balls into the box. This also allows their target man Kalimuendo-Muinga to have some assistance upfront. Since they like to play with a three-man backline, Rennes usually keep a close eye on their opponents’ wingers and mark them tightly.
However, they will be without the services of Jordan James in this game, who is suspended – this could well be a big blow. The likes of Alidu Seidu, Anthony Roualt and Azor Matusiwa will not be available due to injury and illness.
Rennes predicted lineup vs Lille (3-4-3): Samba; Jacquet, Wooh, Brassier; Assignon, James, Koné, Truffert; Blas, Kalimuendo-Muinga, Kyogo.
Lille Team News
Lille are aware of the superiority they enjoy over Rennes in this game, but they will be desperate to get all three points in their pocket. This pressing need of theirs will be felt deeply by their fans, especially after their painful 1-2 loss to Le Havre last weekend at home.
While they are good at maintaining possession, their failure at passing the ball into strategic areas put paid to all their plans for attack in that game.

In this game against Rennes, Lille have a long list of injured players: Edon Zhagrova, Fernandez-Padro, Nabil Bentaleb, Tiago Santos and Samuel Umtiti.
The absence of the latter will hurt Lille a lot since he is known to be the leader of their defence. The former Barcelona man marks his opponents tightly and unlike any other central defender in the league, and usually comes out on top in one-on-one situations.
Lille predicted lineup vs Rennes (4-2-3-1): Chevalier; Meunier, Diakité, Ribeiro, Ismaily; André, Bouaddi; Bakker, Cabella, Sahraoui; David.

Rennes vs Lille Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Total over 2 goals
- Odds: 1.47 (22Bet)
We expect to see a total over 2 goals in this game, with both teams hoping to contribute to the pot. Rennes have a famed three-man attacking unit, but Lille are no way behind them.
Ranked in the 5th position of the league table with 35 points inside their kitty, Lille will have the advantage of Jonathan David’s reassuring presence up top.
Although they like to play with a two wingers and an attacking midfielder, it is David, with 12 goals in the Ligue 1, who can make all the difference for Lille in this game.
