Further markets to consider
Beyond the main tip at the top of the page, two more selections stand out for this match-up:
👉 Prediction: Over 2.5 Goals
Lyon vs Rennes is set up to be a tough match, and we expect it to go over 2.5 goals.
With bookmakers offering odds of 1.42 on this outcome, there’s great value in betting on three or more goals being scored, especially considering the attacking strength of both teams.
👉 Prediction: Lyon win or Draw
The upcoming Lyon vs Rennes matchup looks to be a close contest, but home advantage could be the key factor in this match.
For that reason, we suggest backing Lyon to win or draw on the Double Chance market. Playing at Groupama Stadium in front of their home fans should give them the edge they need to at least avoid defeat, making this a strong bet.
