Rennes vs Lyon Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

A rush start and disappointing services fueled the start of the Stade Rennais campaign, which had struck hard by overcoming Olympique de Marseille 1-0 despite its numerical inferiority. Habib Beye has in the stride deplored the slap received in the derby at Lorient 4-0 and a draw far from reassuring in Angers 1-1. The Red and Black have the ambition to find regularity in their results so as not to tumble in the standings as had been the case at the start of the year, which had cost Jorge Sampaoli. The start of the season of Olympique Lyonnais is surprising in good in view of the agitated summer that the club experienced, whose administrative relegation in Ligue 2 was canceled by the DNCG.

With Michele Kang to the presidency and a new recruitment strategy, OL signed success against Lens 0-1 last month, Metz 3-0 and in the first shock of the exercise, facing its Marseille 1-0 rival, all without taking a goal. The Gones, which will play the Europa League this season, are virtually 2nd behind PSG. 

The Rennais tackle this shock without the Camara (midfielder), suspended. Le club espère pouvoir compter en parallèle sur le défenseur central cadre Jacquet et les moins utilisés Cissé (milieu) et Meïté (attaquant), qui ont déclaré forfait pour le rassemblement des Espoirs. The former Angevin Lepaul, recruited at the end of the transfer window to compensate for the departure of Kalimuendo, was quick to highlight himself. The number 9 opened the scoring against its former team before the international break. Arrived from Monaco, Embolo comes to bring an additional option to Habib Beye in the attacking sector.  In Lyon, Paulo Fonseca must always take into account the package of Orel Mangala (Middle) and the Nuamah winger.

Plus problématique, le défenseur titulaire Niakhaté s'est blessé en début de mois avec le Sénégal et demeure incertain comme les deux dernières recrues que sont le revenant Ghezzal, en manque de rythme, et l'avant-centre Satriano, récemment blessé. The twirling Fofana (1 goal) will be well fit after represented Belgium on the continental scene. Il est l'un des rares tauliers à être resté au club cet été, ce qui n'a pas été le cas de Perri, Lacazette, Almada, Cherki et dernièrement Mikautadze. Les dirigeants ont renforcé l'équipe par des joueurs d'avenir tel que le milieu de terrain Morton (ex Liverpool), déjà très important sur le terrain. Greif applies to a first tenure with the aim.
