Lens vs Rennes: Match Prediction
Lens ended a dreadful five-game losing streak with a dramatic 1-0 victory over Olympique de Marseille, thanks to Neil El Aynaoui’s last-minute winner. Meanwhile, Rennes, led by Jorge Sampaoli, suffered a heavy 4-1 defeat at home to PSG, despite the Parisians fielding a rotated squad.
With both sides missing key players, the game is expected to be tactically cautious. Lens may adopt a counter-attacking approach due to their absentees, while Rennes will look to regain defensive solidity. This could result in a low-scoring affair.
Prediction: Draw or Lens win, Under 3.5 Goals
