Rennes vs Lens Soccer Betting Tips
Very convincing during the first weeks of competition, Rennes has clearly been marking time for a few months now. Indeed, in all competitions, the Bretons have won only one of their last 11 games before their trip to Krasnodar in the Champions League this week. In Ligue 1, they slowly slipped from the podium and found themselves in 7th place. Since their last success against Brest (2-1), they have been defeated by PSG (3-0) and Bordeaux (0-1) before taking a point in Strasbourg (1-1) last weekend. In the Champions League, they lost their last 4 meetings against Sevilla (1-0) and Chelsea (3-0 and 1-2) and Krasnodar on Wednesday night (1-0) and definitely said goodbye to Europe for this season.
For its part, Lens displays good arrangements for its return to Ligue 1. Indeed, the Sang et Or are in 9th place in the standings with one game behind most of its competitors. But they too have slowed down a bit lately. Held in check by Reims (4-4), they won their last success against Lens (0-1) before taking a new point against Nantes in a late match last week (1-1). Finally, last Sunday, they were surprised in the second period by Angers (1-3).
The workforce for Rennes vs Lens
On the Rennes side, the Italian defender who arrived last summer Daniele Rugani and midfielder Jonas Martin are still too fair to play this match while the holder Aguerd, ill this week in C1, could make his return. To this, we add the fairly significant injury of center forward Guirassy which occurred last weekend. Against Strasbourg, the super sub-Hunou scored his third goal of the season.
In Lens, the side Traoré is the only player missing. Offensively, Gaël Kakuta (5 goals) is still closely followed by the young Ganago (4 goals) in the scorers’ standings but the latter has not scored since the 4th day and has lost his starting position in favour of the more experienced Sotoca.
The probable lines for Rennes vs Lens:
Rennes: Gomis – Traoré, Da Silva, Nyamsi, Truffert – Bourigeaud, Nzonzi, Camavinga – Doku, Hunou, Léa-Sliki.
Lens: Leca – Gradit, Badé, Medina – Clauss, Doucouré, Fofana, Haïdara – Kakuta – Sotoca, Kalimuendo.
