Dear friends, a warm welcome to you all! Today, I'd like to break down the imminent clash between "Lyon" and "Rennes". This match will take place on the 26th of January at the "Groupama" Stadium in Lyon.
This season, Lyon has showcased, frankly speaking, a weak performance. They currently sit in 16th place in Ligue 1, a stark contrast to their 7th place finish last season. However, recent matches have seen a surge in quality from the Olympians, attributable in large part to the appointment of new manager, Pierre Sage, formerly of the Academy.
The result: 3 victories in the last 5 matches. This is a notable improvement, considering the team had only managed 1 victory in the previous 14 matches. Interestingly, this solitary win was against Rennes on the road. On home turf this season they've garnered 9 points from 9 matches, with a mere 2 victories.
Rennes seems to be in a slightly better standing this season, though it's fair to say, it's not an optimal situation for the team. They currently sit 10th in the league, a fall from last season's 4th spot. In their last five matches, they've notched up 2 victories.
On the road, Rennes' luck has been less favourable this season with only 7 points from 8 matches and one victory. Complicating matters, they encounter an issue with the team's line-up for the match: Guiri is injured and Matic is sabotaging the training process as he seeks a move away. Intriguingly, one of his potential destinations is none other than Lyon itself.
Over the past 5 years, the two teams have faced each other 19 times across various tournaments. Lyon has come out on top 8 times. 3 matches ended in a draw and Rennes has claimed victory 8 times. In the first leg of this season, Lyon emerged victorious (1:0) on the road.
Both teams have been performing equally in recent times. Hence, a logical bet would be to back a draw, albeit not a goalless one. It's important to note that Lyon has been conceding enough goals this season.
