Lille vs Rennes Prediction & Betting Tips (10 March)

Author of a very decent season so far, Losc could well land a place on the podium at the end of the season and snatch a ticket for the next Champions League. This Lille team is in 4th position in the standings with only one small point behind the box before entering the last 10 days. If they are rather permeable away with defeats suffered on the field of PSG 3-1 and Toulouse 3-1, the Mastiffs on the other hand do the job at home with victories won against Clermont 4-0 and Le Havre notably 3-0. Last week, the Northerners even managed to force their nature to win against Reims 0-1, thus ending a series of 5 matches without success away from their bases. Note that this week, they won with authority on the field of Sturm Graz in the 1/8th final first leg of the Conference League 0-3.

For its part, Stade Rennais quickly asserted itself as the one of the teams in the best shape at the start of 2024. Uncompromising after the winter break, the Breton club has had a string of successes, whether in the Cup where it qualified for the semi-finals after its victory against Puy last week 1-3, or in the championship where he has had a string of successes in recent weeks. However, after having won 6 consecutive victories in the elite, the Rouge et Noir were joined at the very end of the match on the PSG field 1-1 before being surprised, last weekend, in the Breton derby against Lorient in a game where they never really knew how to accelerate. Following this defeat, Julien Stéphan's men fell to 8th position in the ranking, still 4 points behind the top 6.

The same elements are still missing on the Losc side. These are winger Ivan Cavaleiro, former world champion Umtiti and new recruit Ilic who are still in the infirmary. In addition to this, the usual substitutes Morais, Miramon and Fernandez and the interesting Ounas will not be able to appear in the group called by Paulo Fonseica this Sunday, but the Cabella frame is back. Opportunistic last Saturday to score the only goal of the match against Reims, Canadian center forward Jonathan David was able to score his 12th goal of the season in Ligue 1, and a double on Thursday. The Turk Yazici (4 goals) and the interesting Zeghrova (3 goals, scorer Thursday) and Gudmundsson should also be able to answer their coach's call.

The Swiss midfielder Rieder, the excellent starting midfielder Le Fée as well as the young Nagida will not make the trip to the North, all too tight on the physical level. Furthermore, the very promising Désiré Doué will be suspended for an accumulation of yellow cards. Guilty on Lorient's opening score last Sunday, Steve Mandanda should still keep his place in the cages. Quite little in sight against the Merlus, the excellent Bourigeaud (6 goals, 2 assists), the striker Martin Terrier (5 goals in 2024) and the center forward Kalimuendo (5 goals) will all be present as well as the Algerian Gouiri (5 goals) who scored the last 2 goals for his team in the championship.
