Looking to find some much-needed stability this weekend, Rennes will make the trip to Lens on Saturday night in a contest that could be a lively showdown.

Starting with the hosts, mounting a hugely impressive comeback earlier in the week, Lens have gained a string of plaudits from across France this year. In their 23 Ligue 1 contests so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, five draws and eight defeats, scoring 34 and conceding 33 in return. Opening up Saturday’s fixtures sat with a points tally of 35, they find themselves sat seventh in the table and with some in their camp even dreaming of a shock European charge. As for their recent run of results, coming from two goals down to snatch a point off of Marseille in midweek, Lens have lost just one of their last five Ligue 1 contests. With a real reputation for their lively fixtures, it should be noted that six of Lens’ last eight matchups on home soil has finished with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Rennes might also have their own European finish at the top of their agenda, they do find themselves in the midst of a recent blip. In their 22 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded 10 wins, seven draws and five defeats, scoring 31 and conceding 24 in return. Managing to muster themselves a points tally of 37, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fifth in the table and eight points adrift of finding a route back into the top-four. As for their recent run of results, playing out a 1-1 draw against Lorient earlier in the week, Saturday’s guests have recorded just a single Ligue 1 in their last five attempts. With three of their last four appearances also finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome on Saturday night.
