The French Ligue 1 side will play in Rennes at the same time as Paris in round 16. Rennes and Lille will face each other in a head-to-head encounter at the local fixture at the Parc Roisson.
The game is interesting because one of the league leaders will play against the reigning champion. The current Lille is far from their last year’s form, but the prediction for Rennes vs Lille might prove to be relevant and useful.
Rennes
The team of Bruno Genesio seems to have accelerated. While rivals Nice and Lansse are losing points, Rennes are moving steadily towards their goal, with positive results on the pitch. After the 15th round, in which they beat Lorient 2-0 away, Rennes climbed to second place in the standings.
Bruno Genesio’s side has 28 points ahead of the Lille game.
Lille
Contrary to expectations, the French champions were unable to regain their previous playing conditions. After 15 games, Joselin Gurwennec’s side is only 13th in the standings with 18 points. In the previous round, Lille failed to achieve anything in their home game against Nantes following a 1-1 draw. The team’s performance in the Champions League is a little consolation. Lille is in first place in their group with one round to go before the end of the group stage.
Head-to-head statistics
Rennes and Lille have played 101 games. In 28 of the matches, Rennes was victorious; while in 40 games, Lille was victorious. In 33 games, a draw was recorded.
Prediction

This bet can play out with a variety of outcomes.
