Rennes hosts Lille in round 21 of French Ligue 1. The match will be played on Sunday, January 24th at Roazhon Park (Rennes)
Rennes clearly lacked the strength to fight on two fronts. Because of a tight calendar, the Red-Blacks failed both in European Cups and in Ligue 1. But as soon as the group stage was over, things immediately went into overdrive. Rennes immediately improved its position in the French championship, having gained 17 points out of 21 possible in the last seven matches. At the same time, Stephan's team hammered 11 goals during this period. The team showed a similar game at the start of the season, consistently gaining points and scoring in every match.

Lille is one of the few teams in Europe that scores in almost every game of the season. The Great Danes failed to upset the opponents’ goalkeeper in only one out of 26 last official games. For comparison, Man City, Liverpool, PSG, Barcelona, and many other grandees more often left the field without goals. It seemed that after the departure of Osimen and Remy, Lille would have problems in the attack, but Galtier found new performers with whom the Danes continue to remain at the top. Moreover, this season they have already scored 35 goals in 20 rounds. That is, Lille improved its attacking skills and is clearly ready to continue its goal stats at Roazhon Park.
Not everything is good in Lille’s defense now, as the Great Danes conceded five goals in the last four matches. In general, Galtier’s team rarely keeps a clean sheet against strong opponents. It managed to do this only in the game with the bloodless PSG, but the rest of the top 6 L1 clubs scored at least one goal to the net of Lille. But the Danes themselves practically do not leave the pitch without a goal scored. They failed to upset only the aforementioned Parisians, but they made a bet on a draw in that meeting. Against teams like Rennes, Lille is much more active in the attack. Therefore, the team scores regularly. In general, the Great Danes have an impressive streak of 18 away games in a row, in which they managed to score at least one goal. Moreover, they breached Rennes's defense in each of the last seven head-to-head meetings. And if you consider that the Red-Blacks have kept a clean sheet in only one of 13 home matches of the current season, then Lille has excellent chances to extend its scoring streak. However, Rennes also shows perfect statistics in the attack, so we may well count on an exchange of goals scored in the upcoming meeting.
Prediction for the match: Both teams to score - yes
