Rennes vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips - Ligue 1
by Devesh Jaganath in Ligue 1 Predictions
Wrapping up the opening week of the 2024-25 Ligue 1 season will be Rennes taking on Lyon at Roazhon Park on Sunday evening. Les Rouge et Noirs ended last season in 10th place while Les Gones finished in sixth place. Let’s get into the match prediction.
Rennes endured a fairly difficult season last time out, with European commitments seemingly having an effect on their league performance, which caused them to drop six places from the previous campaign.
Les Rennais ended the season with a record of 12 wins, 10 draws and 12 losses, though they did score 53 goals, which was the joint-third best in the division behind Paris Saint-Germain and Monaco.
At home, Rennes posted a record of seven wins, four draws and six losses, scoring 34 goals while conceding 26, which was the most of any side in the top half of the table.
Meanwhile, despite earning nine fewer points than they did in 2022-23, Lyon managed to move up a spot in the league last season, earning themselves a spot back in Europe for the upcoming season.
Les Gones won 16, drew five and lost 13 of their 34 matches last season, and conceded 55 goals, which was the second-most of any side that avoided relegation last term.
However, Lyon were impressive on the road, winning nine of their 17 away games. They earned 28 of their 53-point tally on their travels.
These sides have split the last four encounters between these two wins apiece.

Our Rennes vs Lyon Prediction
While Rennes enter this match as the marginal favourites, Lyon were very impressive during the run-in last season and will be difficult to overcome if they start this campaign in the same form.
Both these teams are exceptionally good in attack but are susceptible to conceding goals, thus we expect there to be a few goals in this opening week encounter. Our Rennes vs Lyon prediction: Both teams to score!
