Competition: Ligue 1

Market: Both teams to score

Odds: 8/11 @ 888sport

Looking to extend their stay in the top-four this weekend, Rennes will make the trip to Lens on Saturday night in a contest that could see chances at both ends of the pitch.

Starting with the hosts, managing to extend their Coupe de France adventure earlier in the week with a stunning comeback, Lens will be desperate to build off of that result here. In their 19 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded seven wins, six draws and six defeats, scoring 33 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 27, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat ninth in the table and just two points adrift of finding a route into the top-six. As for their recent run of results, eventually claiming a penalties defeat against Lille following a 2-2 draw in midweek, Lens have lost just a pair of their last seven matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should also be noted, Saturday’s hosts have seen six of their previous seven contests finish with both teams finding the net.

As for the visitors, while Rennes might still find themselves firmly mixing it in the European hunt, they are a side who will be seeking a boost here. In their 19 Ligue 1 matchups so far this season, they have recorded nine wins, four draws and six defeats, scoring 34 and conceding 28 in return. Managing to muster a points tally of 31, they open this weekend’s fixtures sat fourth in the table and knowing that maximum points on Saturday night would see them jump as high as second. However, as for their recent run of results, last seen earlier in the week crashing out of the Coupe de France away at Nancy, Rennes have lost three of their last four matchups across all formats. Likewise, it should be highlighted, with each of their previous three defeats finishing with both teams finding the net, we’re backing a similar outcome here.
