Lens vs Rennes Predictions and Free Tips from our expert tipsters when the teams go head-to-head in Ligue 1 on Sunday, 20 August 2023.
Lens supporters were shocked as they lost to Brest in their first game of the season. They had a great campaign last season and finished second on the table. However, during the break their form declined and they performed poorly in their friendlies.
On the other hand, Rennes were no match for Metz as they defeated them by 5-1 in their season opener. Their main concern is that they have a poor record against Lens in the last few years.
The past records show that Lens are on a three-game winning streak against this team. These two teams last met back in April and the game ended in a 1-0 victory for the current hosts. Do note that the last time Rennes celebrated a win against this opposition was more than eight years ago.
The chances are high that the hosts will seal all three points. They have a 100% winning record against this team since 2022. Moreover, Metz are a newly promoted team in the league this season. This is one of the reasons why they won by a huge margin previously.
The visitors scored five goals against Metz, who are a newly promoted team. On the other hand, Lens scored two goals against Brest in their first game. However, both teams have scored very few goals in the last few meetings. Therefore, it will be wise to back under 2.5 goals criteria for this game.
The hosts have a 100% unbeaten record against this team starting in 2015. On top of that, they are one of the best teams in the league. Considering all this, our first tip is that Lens will win this game– the odd for this tip will be at 2.40 odd.
Moving on, our second tip for this game is that under 2.5 goals will be scored– the odd for this tip will be at 2.10 odd. The main reason for this tip is that this fixture has been a low-scoring one in the last few years. With one exception, the last seven meetings ended with less than three goals.
