Lyon vs Rennes

The loses from Le Havre makes Lyon have to ended their winning streak and after break today they will attempt to beat Rennes and return to the winning ways but Rennes also in the good shape because they were unbeatable in the last 5 matches in all competitions and the latest is Rennes can able to eliminate Marseille at France Cup and in Ligue 1 Rennes has successfully to beat strong team Nice so Rennes recent performance is much better compared to them

For squad update Enzo Le Fee will be doubtful to play but Benjamin Bourigeaud will be available today and this player was showing impressive performance in the last 2 matches with Rennes because he can scored 1 goal and make 1 assist and for Lyon Duje Caleta-Car will not be available in the squad because he got suspension and as usual Lyon still rely on Alexandre Lacazette for their front lines and according to the head to head statistics i can see both teams can beat each other but Lyon was successfully to improve their records from Rennes because they can win from Rennes 2 times streak and today too i think Lyon still able to resumes their good records from Rennes moreover as a host Lyon have more motivation to win and the odds for Lyon is @2.48

It seems like the bookmakers are favoring Lyon over Rennes and according to your predictions it seems confident that Lyon can win but from my prediction Rennes will win by a narrow score.
Even though the two clubs had previously met and Lyon was able to beat Rennes, for me Lyon's victory was like luck because in less than 10 minutes the Rennes defender got a red card so Lyon's opportunity to score was a little easier and in fact Lyon was only able to score 1 score.
I have the opinion that Lyon has not been able to maintain consistency and we can also see the previous match that Rennes is far superior and for me betting on the club that wins is very risky even though the odds are high but I prefer to bet on both clubs scoring.

So true but im thinking that rennes has bigger chance to win against lyon now. This match is kinda hard to predict caused by rennes is starting to go back to the right track again. Rennes's odds is worthy enough to bet.
We will be seeing the game to happen at lyon's home but there is also another problem like lyon needs also to prepare the club even better. Rennes considerably strong enough in the french league. Lyon shall not miss opportunity to grab three points or it will be back to the relegation zone again. Lyon has been performing quite well in the previous matches by winning three games in a row and it will be a disaster if lyon to get another bad result

The only good point about Lyon was the three consecutive wins they got so far in this season and other than those three games they couldn't have a good performance at all and even in the games in which we were thinking they could easily win against the weak teams the lost, maybe this can be the reason to be on Rennes and predict Lyon losing this match but sine Rennes is also not in the good form, I think Rennes can lose points in this match. The rates are very close but I chose to take more risk and bet on Rennes.

Nice vs Metz two teams will enter the field to play. Between these two teams, Nice team is at the 2nd position in the points table. On the other hand, Metz is at the 15th position in the points table. I will bet against the Metz team. If the Metz team performs well in this match, the Nice team will not win. However.  I think Nice team can win this match by 2 goals. I am very worried that I will lose the bet if Nice team does not win. I am waiting to see which team will win this match.

[bestcoins1]

Yes you are right, this season is going very bad for Lyon, the performance of Lyon in this season of League One is not to be found, they are now the 16th team in the league table. Lyon lost 3-1 to Le Harve in the last match. Today's match with Stade Rennais could be very difficult for Lyon as Stade Rennais are in great form. Stade Rennais won last match with Nice 2-0. But I think the match will be very competitive. Both teams to score looks likely to result in a draw.

If Lyon's performance still does not change in today's match, I think it will be very impossible to get a draw even though the match takes place at Lyon's home ground. Because as you said, Rennes is currently in very good condition so it is very possible to win at home to Lyon in today's match. But on the one hand, I also really hope that Lyon will be able to surprise and make it difficult for Rennes to win easily in today's match so that Lyon can have the potential to save itself from the relegation zone.

[Godday]

It is very clear if we look at the latest results that Metz continues to experience a losing streak in the last five matches. Metz has lost a lot of points from the last 10 matches because they were only able to achieve 2 wins which made their position decline further and are currently ranked 15th, 2 points different from relegated teams and have the same points as Lyon, if they continue to experience defeats, it is not impossible for Metz could enter the relegation zone this season.
In the match against Nice, it looks like Metz still has to lose more points even though Nice has had inconsistent performance recently, but Nice's performance is much better and Nice is also playing as the home team so they won't let Metz steal points from Nice.

I find it hard to imagine if Nice lost that match. I mean Metz is really doing badly in the league and even they lost the last 5 matches. Even though Nice are considered inconsistent, in my opinion that doesn't mean they will lose to Metz. I'm sure Metz will drop points again in that match. This would be very bad because they are not yet out of relegation danger due to being on the same points as Lyon.

Because as you said, Rennes is currently in very good condition so it is very possible to win at home to Lyon in today's match. But on the one hand, I also really hope that Lyon will be able to surprise and make it difficult for Rennes to win easily in today's match so that Lyon can have the potential to save itself from the relegation zone.

Based on match probability, Lyon is the favorite team to win. The probability of Lyon winning is quite high compared to Rennes, but no one knows the course of the match and the final result. Lyon won the last meeting 0-1 away from home against Rennes, so today Lyon is more favored at home.

Lyon's performance this season has been not good, but there are things to pay attention to when they play against Rennes. Lyon won 2 of their last 3 matches against Rennes and this record is what gives Lyon a high probability of winning. Lyon lost to Le Havre in their last match in Ligue 1, but that doesn't mean they also lost to Rennes today. Lyon's main goal today is to win the game, they need to get out of the relegation zone and improve their position in the standings.

Because they are playing home no more than that.
I don't want to be too complacent with Lyon who are favored for now because however, by looking at the situation that is happening now, of course we know that their conditions are not very good in terms of performance and consistency which is still not well maintained, making Lyon's situation a little more complicated.
At the moment, although Rennes are not too favored, in terms of the quality of attacks, they are actually not inferior when compared to Lyon, even in terms of performance they are much better for now, although indeed in the last 4 matches Lyon's 3 consecutive wins were successful enough to make us forget a little that they were quite bad at the beginning of the season but that still could not lift Lyon in terms of the standings.

Currently Lyon must make their momentum return as before and this is a little difficult especially when they have lost last week.

[boltz]

Lyon - Rennes tonight and I'm afraid Lyon has no other option than victory because if they make a draw , or even worse losing the game , their chances to actually avoid relegation goes down a lot. Also , Rennes is not an easy team to win against and that's why I expect a close game between them and with a bit of luck , both teams will score as I'm thinking to place a bet.

I respect how brave you are to say that Rennes will just barely beat Lyon. Just my opinion: Lyon seems to be getting back on track after a crazy season. Yes, they have bad streaks, but three wins in a row? There's nothing to laugh at. It shows how tough they are

Rennes isn't so bad after all. In the league, they're great. Their game away from home? You could say it's their weak spot. Eight away games and only one win? Not just bad luck, but a pattern. This time, they're playing in Lyon's yard. Lyon might have a tough game, but I think they'll win. Based on how you bet, both teams to score might be the best bet. Take it easy and enjoy the game

There is some new update on German source Bild about Real Madrid to have made a contract offer to Mbappe which is worth 35 million euros per year. However it is said that Mbappe's demand is 70 million euros.

If this news was true then i must say that if mbappe was so greedy as fuck. I meant that how can a very big salary from real madrid has been rejected by him caused by he wants it to be doubled? this doesn't even make sense to hear that .
I will be waiting for the further confirmation regarding this news and it will be so crazy if mbappe demands 70 millions as his salary. It will be so bad for him. I think that if mbappe needs to reconsider it again and i just hope it is not true.
It will be destroying mbappe's reputation and people will know him as a greedy player.

This news might be really true as I have started seeing everywhere after that. However in this situation there is no way these sides are having a deal. I'm curious about why Real Madrid have offered a much less amount to him. They should have known Mbappe would demand a similar amount to what he earns currently.

So, if it will be real and mbappe will be demanding 100 million as signing fees + 75 millions as his yearly salary? There will be no club will have no interest to recruit him. It's not even some rich clubs like chelsea or even manchester city will be willing to recruit him.
It was a disaster for mbappe caused by if this will be true and he will be jobless due to the non sense salary requested by him. Other club will be thinking for many times before try to recruit him.
The better thing to spend more than 150 millions for some players.

Based on match probability, Lyon is the favorite team to win. The probability of Lyon winning is quite high compared to Rennes, but no one knows the course of the match and the final result. Lyon won the last meeting 0-1 away from home against Rennes, so today Lyon is more favored at home.

Lyon's performance this season has been not good, but there are things to pay attention to when they play against Rennes. Lyon won 2 of their last 3 matches against Rennes and this record is what gives Lyon a high probability of winning. Lyon lost to Le Havre in their last match in Ligue 1, but that doesn't mean they also lost to Rennes today. Lyon's main goal today is to win the game, they need to get out of the relegation zone and improve their position in the standings.

Based on current Ligue 1 standings position I think Lyon will difficult for securing three points against Rennes has better position place than Lyon two points left from relegation zone, currently Lyon have good progress to consistency winning performance but last Ligue 1 match have losses from Le Havre and failed to continue four consecutives winning matches. Have quit well performance with Rennes last several matches, won last two matches in Ligue 1 and last crucial winning against Marseille on French Cup make them on confidence performance for three away points match against Lyon.
However, Lyon have target for securing three points and help them to get out of from relegation zone as experienced teams in Ligue 1 unbelievable with Lyon performance this season have fight with relegation standings position.

The difference in position in the standings will basically not determine anything throughout the match, but the team's performance and match record are both benchmarks that I think are worth considering when assessing the match. Lyon's loss to Le Havre was surprising, especially after they had 3 wins in a row, but this time I think Lyon will make up for it by beating Rennes. Anything can happen, but I think Lyon is the favorite to win today's match against Rennes.

This is not just talking about one player, but this will be a conversation about the team itself if it wants to be in a better place. I don't doubt Benzema's abilities, but there is still no guarantee that when Benzema joins them it will make them even better. Benzema also needs support from all the players to perform well.
It is true that there was hope when Benzema joined, but I hope not to have too high expectations because if it doesn't live up to expectations it will be a very deep disappointment.
Overall Lyon played badly, they couldn't show anything good this season. If Benzema joins, will it make them even better? an answer that cannot be answered now, because we have to see him play for Lyon first.

I'm sure that without Benzema, Lyon won't be relegated because in their last few matches also Lyon have managed to get good results. Therefore, there is still a very good chance for Lyon to get out and stay away from the relegation zone in the second half of this season. But indeed, if Benzema were to return to Lyon then yes, it would be a great guarantee for Lyon to improve their quality and position in the Ligue 1 table and it's not just about staying away from the relegation zone. But yes, it seems like the big obstacle is that Lyon doesn't have a lot of money to be able to bring in and pay a big salary for Benzema and with that factor, I personally believe Benzema will not return to Lyon.

Individually, yes, I agree that Benzema might be the answer, but as a team, what guarantees that? Benzema won't be able to work alone without the support of his teammates.
As I said before, Lyon played poorly as a team overall, which is something they need to work on. Because I don't think it will be a big change if Benzema is in the team if they still play like that. In the end if Benzema doesn't make a difference there will be a lot of narratives against him, even before he came the club was playing like this.
It's not wrong to have high hopes for a player, but we also have to be realistic about how the team plays. Don't let too high expectations become a crushing blow and it's also very strange if then many blame the new players who come.

I think they had some little break on their way for recovery with that loss against Le Havre AC and to be honest their performance against Bergarac was more of a disappointment as well, or let's say it wasn't quite the game they could have needed to gain some self- confidence.

It is still a home game against Rennes though and it is not like Rennes would be far superior by any means. It is six points between them and while the table doesn't perfectly reflect that, the number of points between these two teams does. This is an important game as they can close the gap to Rennes, another team that is far from being safe from the relegation zone.

This game is worth winning for lots of reasons and I think this is exactly how Lyon will go about this one.

Also , Rennes is not an easy team to win against and that's why I expect a close game between them and with a bit of luck , both teams will score as I'm thinking to place a bet.  

Winning is a dead option for Olympique Lyon if they want to get out of the relegation zone, if they win this match, they will immediately jump to 12th place.

But is that possible? not that easy, Rennes have a good record recently and of course they come to add to their string of positive results. Rather than betting on the over, I think this match will end with (U) 2.5 goals. Apart from (U) 2.5 goals, I also prefer handicap betting and choose Lyon.

I'm curious about why Real Madrid have offered a much less amount to him. They should have known Mbappe would demand a similar amount to what he earns currently.

Kylian Mbappe is unarguably one of the best footballers on the planet and to many people, he's the best player among every footballer that's currently playing football. At his young age of 25, Kylian Mbappe is still at the peak of his career and that's why I don't expect him to accept any offer whose financial package is significantly lesser than his current contract with Paris Saint Germaine.

Real Madrid president Fiorentino Perez have tried signing Mbappe to the club for a very long time now and I'm very optimistic that he's gonna break the bank just to make sure that Kylian Mbappe is permanently signed by Real Madrid. There are still more time for Kylian Mbappe to decide on his next move before the end of the current season and I'm optimistic that he's gonna finally come to terms with Real Madrid

I admit that Mbappe is one of the great players at the moment, even in league 1. Mbappe is the best player currently on the PSG team and regarding his future I have a slightly interesting question.
does Mbappe really think about his career? or will you only think about a big salary?
if he really thinks about his career, he has a good choice to choose to go to Real Madrid to get extraordinary experience in bigger competitions and win the UCL title but that doesn't mean Real Madrid will spend a lot of money just for 1 player and on the one hand when Mbappe contract expires Madrid doesn't need to spend a lot of money to redeem him.
however, if Mbappe is thinking about money, maybe staying at PSG will be the best choice because PSG will continue to increase Mbappe salary if he accepts the offer of a contract extension.

IMO, Mbappe will patiently wait until his contract expires and will go to Real Madrid and his efforts to stay at PSG are just to avoid drama that will happen again like last season.

It is true that the performance of the  Lyon team is weak, but I see no reason  to think that the performance of Rennes  is too strong. The Rennes team  is also not in good form this season. Out of 18 matches, Rennes won 5 matches and Lyon won 4 matches. The conditions of the two teams are very similar.

Lyon won the last two matches played against Rennes. So  maybe Lyon players will be confident in this  match. But I'd say Lyon have no  chance of winning unless their defense improves. Lyon's  defense is very weak. The defenders must  play well if they want to score points  in this match. But I think  this match is going to be a draw. Both teams will be happy to get 1 point.

[Leviathan.007]

Yes you are right, this season is going very bad for Lyon, the performance of Lyon in this season of League One is not to be found, they are now the 16th team in the league table. Lyon lost 3-1 to Le Harve in the last match. Today's match with Stade Rennais could be very difficult for Lyon as Stade Rennais are in great form. Stade Rennais won last match with Nice 2-0. But I think the match will be very competitive. Both teams to score looks likely to result in a draw.

If Lyon's performance still does not change in today's match, I think it will be very impossible to get a draw even though the match takes place at Lyon's home ground. Because as you said, Rennes is currently in very good condition so it is very possible to win at home to Lyon in today's match. But on the one hand, I also really hope that Lyon will be able to surprise and make it difficult for Rennes to win easily in today's match so that Lyon can have the potential to save itself from the relegation zone.

I can't understand why still people think Lyon's chance for winning this match is high and they can think about Lyon winning this match just because of the three games Lyon won recently while this team is still in the danger zone and they are even about to get relegated at the end of this season while Rennais had much better performance than Lyon and they are in the much better situation than Lyon but that's weird t see even the odds for Rennais is close to Lyon.

[marcous]

It is true that the performance of the  Lyon team is weak, but I see no reason  to think that the performance of Rennes  is too strong. The Rennes team  is also not in good form this season. Out of 18 matches, Rennes won 5 matches and Lyon won 4 matches. The conditions of the two teams are very similar.

Lyon won the last two matches played against Rennes. So  maybe Lyon players will be confident in this  match. But I'd say Lyon have no  chance of winning unless their defense improves. Lyon's  defense is very weak. The defenders must  play well if they want to score points  in this match. But I think  this match is going to be a draw. Both teams will be happy to get 1 point.

In the midst of their downturn this season, Lyon managed to beat Monaco, which we know has much better performance, maybe this could be a consideration. But personally I would choose to avoid betting on their matches, because their reputation this season is very much at risk. Lyon ambition is to stay away from the degradation zone, in my opinion that's all. The match between Lyon and Rennes is actually difficult to predict, but Lyon gets a slight advantage because they play in front of their own supporters.

Having created consistency in three consecutive matches, and making us believe that they seem to have found the best form of their game, apparently Lyon lost their last match again last week to Le Havre. We'll see how Lyon performs in a few moments, an additional 3 points will keep them out of the degradation zone for a while.

18 matches have been played, but Lyon can only collect 16 points, what a disaster. Ligue 1 has 18 more matches left, if it doesn't improve immediately then Lyon will almost certainly be dropped from the Ligue 1.

But on the one hand, I also really hope that Lyon will be able to surprise and make it difficult for Rennes to win easily in today's match so that Lyon can have the potential to save itself from the relegation zone.

I can't understand why still people think Lyon's chance for winning this match is high and they can think about Lyon winning this match just because of the three games Lyon won recently while this team is still in the danger zone and they are even about to get relegated at the end of this season while Rennais had much better performance than Lyon and they are in the much better situation than Lyon but that's weird t see even the odds for Rennais is close to Lyon.

Don't be too sure that Lyon will be relegated because in reality Lyon still has a chance to stay in Ligue 1 because the points gap in the lower zone also still has the opportunity to overtake each other . But regarding the Lyon v Rennes match, even though Lyon doesn't look like they have a good chance but ya,in reality Lyon also managed to beat Rennes in their first meeting against Rennes this season with a score of 0-1. Therefore, even though they is a very real difference in trends, but at least Lyon still has a chance and not completely lose easily because ya, basically Rennes is also a mediocre team . But, because at this moment Lyon is struggling in the relegation zone, that factor make Lyon looks like a team that is easy to beat even though in reality it is not easy at all.
