Match Preview
| Third-placed and unbeaten in six Ligue 1 games (L1), the ‘Kids’ (LYO) are returning to Parc Olympique Lyonnais to defend a five-game unbeaten home record after recently holding fourth-placed Lille to a 2-2 away draw. |
| To have any hopes of seizing second-place from Montpellier, Lyon (W8, D4, L3) need to defend their leads better having capitulated three half-time winning positions to draw at full-time (a league high). However, Lyon’s winter months are usually prosperous times, having not dropped more no than five points in their last two seasons (Nov-Dec). |
| Bruno Génésio’s men had two hard-fought 2-2 home ties in the Champions League in November, and they look like surefire winners against a Rennes side (L1: W4, D5, L6) who conversely, had two long and tiring trips (W1, L1) in the Europa League last month. |
| But despite a 4-1 home mangling last time out, Sabri Lamouchi’s 14th-placed Rennes team hold a four-game unbeaten L1 away record, overturning an early season roulette-like run of form (away: W2, D3, L3). Moreover, the ‘Red and Blacks’ took a gamble last time here, and staunchly won 2-0 with goals in the fifth and 93rd minute! |
| That victory dealt Lyon only their fifth home H2H defeat since 1999 (W7, D8). But worth a note, the last four H2H encounters here have seen alternate wins. Will Lyon maintain that sequence (WLWL) with a win here? |
| Players to watch: Memphis Depay has five L1 goals for Lyon this term and has a career goal and assist against Rennes. |
| Three of Ismaïla Sarr’s five goals have come away from home – he also bagged a goal last time out! |
| Stat attack: Seven of Lyon’s eight home games have seen under 2.5 goals while seven of Rennes’ eight away games have seen over 2.5 goals! |
| Three of both teams’ last five L1 games have seen goals in both halves. |
| All of Rennes away games have seen both teams score. |
