Les Dogues can maintain the course with another away win
Stade Rennes FC and OSC Lille should put on a lively game when the Ligue 1 2026/2027 second-placed side travels to Roazhon Park to face the fifth-placed Rennes. Rennes will have been delighted with their 3-0 home win over Strasbourg last weekend, but that result was sandwiched between a 5-2 defeat at Nice and a 0-0 draw with Olympiakos, so the form has been erratic.
Rennes' last five games have seen them win one, draw two and lose two, which doesn't look like a run that would qualify as a resurgence.
Franck Haise has tightened up his side into a 3-5-2 shape with his wing-backs providing width and the number fives making the side more compact and punchy on the counterattack.
Esteban Lepaul leads the Rennes scoring charts with three goals in five Ligue 1 games and Boulaye Dia has three of their seven goals in their last five. The home side will have enough of an attacking edge to hurt Lille on the break, but Les Rouge et Noir have conceded an average of 1.00 goals per game at home and scored an average of 2.60, so they have been letting the game flow in Brittany.
Lille will control the game while Rennes try to break them down
Tactical setup
Davide Ancelotti has Lille set up to be a very controlled 4-3-3 team with a compact block. Les Dogues can be patient and will not be easy to crack.
Lille beat Lens 1-0 at home in their most recent game before holding Bodo/Glimt to a 0-0 draw away and that approach has been keeping them in the games while they are slightly cagey.
Key players and stats
- Ayase Ueda is Lille's best player in Ligue 1 and has scored two goals in three games, but Soriba Diaoune has been a threat on the run with two of Lille's four goals in their last five and should be a threat to the Rennes defense on Sunday.
- Lille average 1.25 goals per away game in Ligue 1 2026/2027 and have hit five goals on their travels, so they are doing enough away from home to keep themselves in the match.
Betting tips
Backing the away side to take the spoils is the main recommendation here, with Lille coming into the contest priced at 3.45, which is simply too big.
OSC Lille to Win at 3.45 is the top pick for Sunday's game at Roazhon Park, with Both Teams to Score – Yes at 1.53 a reasonable play on a game that should see both attacks land a few punches. Over 2.5 goals is at 1.62, which looks like a good matchup and should suit both teams' style of play.
