Our prediction for this Ligue 1 match:
Expect a thrilling atmosphere at Roazhon Park when Rennes and Lens lock horns in an eagerly-awaited Ligue 1 game. Rennes dropped a two-goal advantage in a 2-2 draw with Nantes at the weekend, but it is more than obvious that they have improved offensively. There are no fresh injury worries in the home team, but both Przemyslaw Frankowski and Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal remain in the treatment room.
Les Sang et Or, on the other hand, quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to PSG, with the team outplaying Lille 3-0 in their last league match. Lens are likely to adopt yet another attack-minded approach in Sunday’s game and given Rennes’ attacking potential at home, there is every chance both sides will find the net on Matchday 6. Both Deiver Machado and Jhoanner Chavez have been struggling with injuries of late, speaking of the visiting team.
