Lyon vs Rennes
Four days after meeting in Ligue 1, Lyon vs Rennes will meet again in the middle of the week. This time they competed for the Coupe de France final ticket held at Parc OL.
The match on Saturday (3/30) went so tightly that Lyon had to wait until 86 minutes to break the deadlock through Martin Terrier. They indeed deserve to win statistically with the conversion of 5 shot on targets from 56 ball possession which was only replied twice by the host.
With these results, Lyon also recorded 3 wins, 1 draw, and only lost 1 time throughout March. They played 2 times then with a score of 5-1 and 3-2 against Toulouse and Montpellier.
Meanwhile, yesterday’s results made Rennes fail to win until 3 matches in a row, starting with a 3-0 defeat at Arsenal headquarters in the UEL event, then sharing the 1-1 draw at Bordeaux headquarters. This series of negative results certainly affects the morale of players, moreover they have to play at home to Lyon in tomorrow’s match.
Physical will also be another key factor because each must return to Ligue 1 next weekend. Rennes is predicted to appear all out to open the opportunity to win the trophy this season after falling out of UEL and only occupying 9th place in the league. Lyon also should not underestimate the threat after two appearances at the Parc OL was instead defeated with an identical score, 0-2.
Our Prediction: Over 2.5
Odds: 1.53
