Rennes vs Lens Prediction 28 September 2025
🔊 Will Lens break into the European competition zone after the sixth round of Ligue 1? On Sunday, Rennes host Pierre Sage's team, who have picked up momentum and are eyeing the top spots in the French league standings. However, Rennes themselves are no pushovers, especially when playing at home. Below, you'll find an analysis of the upcoming match and a prediction for its outcome.
Head-to-Head
📊 In the last 11 encounters between these teams, it has either ended in a draw or a win for Lens. Rennes have been quite unlucky in their head-to-head clashes with today's opponent.
Head-to-head statistics Rennes - Lens
Stade Rennes Team Overview
🔴 Rennes are riding high in Ligue 1, having suffered just one defeat this season, which came in a 4-0 drubbing against Lorient in the second round. In that match, Habib Beye's squad faced a bizarre situation, reduced to nine men by the 11th minute after two consecutive red cards. Playing with such a disadvantage, they inevitably conceded four unanswered goals. However, it's fair to set that match aside-playing in double numerical inferiority is never easy!
⚫ Over the last three rounds, Rennes have been picking up points: they drew with Angers (1-1) and Nantes (2-2), and secured a victory against Lyon (3-1). The clash with the "Lions" was particularly noteworthy, as Lyon had not lost to anyone else this season. Overall, the "Red and Blacks" are performing well, though their goal tally is modest-just 7 goals so far, averaging 1.4 per game.

Lens Team Overview
🟡 Lens have suffered two defeats in the league, but both came against formidable opponents: Lyon (0-1) and PSG (0-2). Dropping points in these fixtures was largely deserved and somewhat expected, so it's unlikely these setbacks have thrown Franck Haise's team off course. Instead, they might have even spurred them on to greater achievements.
🔴 In their latest outing, Lens impressively dismantled Lille at home with a 3-0 victory, despite Lille's strong form this season. After scoring in the first half, the "Blood and Gold" shifted to a more defensive approach, but that didn't mean they stopped creating dangerous opportunities. It was a stellar performance and a well-deserved win!

❌ Polish defender Przemysław Frankowski is unlikely to assist his team as he remains sidelined with a groin injury sustained during the Round 4 match against Lyon. The participation of midfielder Valentin Rongier and defender Alidu Seidu is also in doubt; Rongier is dealing with a calf injury while Seidu has been diagnosed with a concussion.
Lens
🧤 Forward Antony Bermon and midfielder Fodé Sylla have been called up to the French U21 national team. They will miss the upcoming match against Rennes.
❌ Colombian defender Deiver Machado will be unable to assist his teammates due to a knee injury. He sustained the injury during the game against Brest in the third round, causing him to miss all subsequent matches in the French league.
🟨 Referee and Yellow Cards
The upcoming match will be officiated by Bastien Dechepy. Over a span of 100 games, he averages 3.58 yellow cards per match, with 26 fouls. In the last five matches, both teams have shown restraint in collecting yellow cards: Rennes average 1.6 per game, while Lens average 1.4. Given their disciplined play in the current league, we suggest betting on total yellow cards under 4.5.
⚽️ Goal Prediction
Both teams have been consistent in finding the back of the net this season, scoring in nearly every game. Although goals have been scarce, Rennes and Lens have managed to score in four out of their last five matches. We anticipate this trend to continue and recommend betting on both teams to score.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The corner statistics heavily favor Lens in this aspect of the game. Over their last five matches, Pierre Sage's squad averages 7 corners per game, compared to Rennes' 3.8. Considering this data, we suggest betting on the visitors to win in corners.
Editor's Prediction
The head-to-head stats favor Rennes, but there's an intriguing pattern-three of their last four encounters ended in a 1-1 draw. We believe this result could happen again this time around. In their previous five meetings, goals were hard to come by, with two or fewer scored each time. Considering both teams have struggled to find the net this season while maintaining solid defenses, we suggest betting on total goals under 3.
