Lyon, Recent FormLyon will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 1-0 away win against Paris Saint-Germain. They achieved 38% possession in that match and had 10 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Paris Saint-Germain's tally of 16 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
Laurent Blanc will be quite satisfied with his squad's offensive prowess in recent performances. They have managed to notch up 9 goals from their last 6 outings. However, the manager will know they have work to do at the back where they have let in 7 goals and, as a result, lost some important points. With goals notched up in 5 of their past 6 matches, they are certainly showing some goal-scoring consistency of late. Blanc will be unhappy that his team have failed to keep a clean sheet in so many home games, having conceded in 10 of their 14 this season.
There will be mixed feelings from Les Gones, although undefeated in their last 4 league games at home, 2 of these games ended in a draw.
Having scored 5 goals in his last 6 league games for Lyon, Alexandre Lacazette will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Rennes, Recent FormFailing to acquire any points in their 1-0 home defeat by Lens will have left the Rennes squad feeling a little deflated. They came away from that fixture with a 56% share of the possession and clocked up 10 attempts on goal with 3 on target, in comparison to Lens, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
Although they have only shipped 2 goals in their past 6 matches, they have taken a relatively modest return of points from those games, primarily due to an indifferent return at the other end with 5 goals netted in those 6 matches. They are proving to be a hard team to beat, having kept 4 clean sheets in their last 6 matches. Given that they have scored in 13 of their away games this season, their travelling support will be feeling optimistic about a good result whenever they are on their travels.
This has been a difficult period for the team in terms of away form, with 3 defeats and just 2 victories in their last 6 matches away from home.
On an individual basis, Martin Terrier will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 4 goals in Rennes' last 6 league games.
The last time these sides were pitched against each other in the league, it ended in a 3-2 win for Rennes.
The Les Rennais defence has struggled against Lyon in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 5 games. In their recent meetings Rennes have had no problem breaking down Les Gones' defence, having found the back of the net 13 times in their last 5 games.
Rennes has won the last 3 games they've played against Lyon in the league.
Lyon player Alexandre Lacazette will be feeling confident about recording goals against Rennes ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 4 goals from their last 5 meetings.
There is only really one injury concern for the Lyon manager Laurent Blanc ahead of this clash, with Malo Gusto (Hamstring) missing out, which gives Blanc a strong squad to pick his starting eleven from.
With both Martin Terrier (Cruciate ligament) and Adrien Truffert (Ankle) being out for the rest of the season and Lorenz Assignon (Knee), Jérémy Doku (Thigh) and Miguel Xeka (Sprained ankle) all unavailable in the shorter term, Rennes manager Bruno Génésio will be hoping none of his other players pick up a knock going into this clash.
