Rennes preview: In-form Rennes
Ever since the appointment of former Lens and Nice boss Franck Haise, replacing new Olympique de Marseille boss Habib Beye, Stade Rennais have been much-improved of late as they push for UEFA Champions League qualification.
Rennes come into this one on the back of a 4-0 hammering of Nice at the Allianz Riviera in their most recent outing, last weekend, extending their winning streak to four matches.
Lille preview: Slightly improved
Bruno Genesio was coming under intense scrutiny after a woeful start to the calendar year but Lille have been slightly improved of late, beginning this match day sitting just below Rennes in the Ligue 1 table.
The northerners do, though, now come into this one on the back of a slender 1-0 defeat to Aston Villa in the first-leg of their UEFA Europa League round of 16 tie at Stade Pierre-Mauroy due to a winner scored by Ollie Watkins.

Rennes vs Lille prediction
Lille started the calendar year of 2026 with just one victory in their opening ten matches across all competitions. They are unbeaten in five Ligue 1 games as they try and get themselves back into the top four. Rennes, though, are relentless at the moment and it is promising to be a little more than the so-called ‘new manager bounce’ and siding with Rennes, especially with their home advantage, appears the way to go for this one.
