In a crucial fixture in French Ligue 1, Lyon is set to host Rennes.

Hosts, currently battling to avoid relegation, experienced a temporary resurgence with three consecutive victories against Toulouse, Monaco, and Nantes.

However, their momentum suffered a setback in the last league match, ending in a 3-1 loss to Le Havre, notably impacted by a first-half red card. Despite the numerical disadvantage, Alexandre Lacazette managed to find the net.

The team bounced back in the Coupe de France fixture against Bergerac, securing a 2-1 win.

On the other side, Rennes is in fine form, maintaining an unbeaten streak in their last five matches across all competitions.

Notably, they achieved a 2-0 victory against the second-placed Nice and triumphed over Marseille on penalties with a 2-1 scoreline in the Coupe de France.

The current momentum favors Rennes, and their recent performances suggest they might have the upper hand in this encounter.

However, considering Lyon’s desperate situation to escape relegation, a draw is also a plausible outcome. To play it safe, opting for a double chance might be a prudent choice.
