Rennes will host league leaders Lyon in the Ligue 1 matchday 19 on Saturday. The kick-off is at 21:00 CET.

Preview

The hosts have managed to overcome their dip in form lately as Julien Stephan's side haven't lost once in their previous five league matches, including four wins and Wednesday's goalless draw at Nantes. That run means that Rennes will host Lyon sitting in fourth in the table, seven points behind their opponents.

Lyon, for their part, have been in phenomenal form this term. Rudi Garcia's men remain unbeaten across all competitions since the 2-1 loss at Montpellier in August - their only defeat of the current campaign. Memphis Depay's brace in the 3-2 win over Lens in midweek saw Lyon jumping to the very top of the Ligue 1 standings with 39 points.

Aside from striker Serhou Guirassy, Julien Stephan has a fully fit squad at his disposal for the weekend.

Lyon pair Toko Ekambi and Bruno Guimaraes, meanwhile, have tested positive for Covid-19 and are now self-isolating.

Prediction

In fact, Rennes have beaten Lyon in four of their last five head-to-head encounters in all competitions. Nevertheless, the visitors' mind-blowing 15-game unbeaten run make them hot favourites to get even with Stephan's side for those defeats on Saturday.

Tip

Lyon to win or draw and both teams to score at 2.28 with 1XBET.
