Head-to-head statistics Lens - Rennes
Lens Team Overview
🟡 Lens has shown inconsistent results this season. Occupying the 8th place in the table, the team has lost six of their last ten matches. On average, they score 1.1 goals per game and concede 1.5.
🔗 It's important to note that Lens broke a streak of 4 losses and did so at the most unexpected moment - in the game against Marseille at the “Vélodrome”. 24% possession and only 3 shots in the match did not prevent the “Blood and Gold” from taking three points.
🔝 Mathew Ryan (6 saves) and Neil El Aynaoui (goal) were included in the team of the week according to L’Équipe.
⚡ Interestingly, the match against Marseille was the 10th clean sheet for Lens. This is the best record in the current Ligue 1 season.
❌ Three players are listed in the home team's infirmary. They are Rémy Labeau-Lascary and Martin Satriano (out since last year), as well as Joanner Chavez (sidelined since January).

Stade Rennes Team Overview
🔴 Rennes has won four matches and suffered six defeats in their last ten games, with a scoring rate of 1.3 goals per game. Their defense is also not perfect, conceding about 1.4 goals per match.
🔗 After Habib Beye took over as head coach, Rennes noticeably improved, but they didn't pass the test against the strongest team in the country. In the last round, the "red and blacks" were defeated by PSG (1-4).
📈 Although statistically, it wasn't as bleak (2.11-3.4 in xG), moreover, the last two goals were conceded in injury time.
❌ We note three absences in the visiting squad. Alidu Seidu and Dogan Alemdar have not played since 2024, and Seko Fofana is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards and will not play against his former team.

Editor's Prediction
Considering the current form of both teams and their statistics in recent matches, the most likely outcome is a game with a total of more than 2 goals. Both clubs are showing a high-scoring game, especially Rennes away from home. Lens is active at home and can take advantage of their chances against the not-so-reliable defense of the visitors. In 12 of Rennes' last 14 away matches in Ligue 1, at least two goals have been scored, making our betting option safe.No comments
