Rennes Strong Run Challenges Lyon at Home

Rennes arrive after three wins in four matches and continue to score freely even when playing away. Their attack has produced two goals per game on the road this season while Lyon have managed just one draw in their last two home outings. Head to head records show Rennes taking six wins from the last ten meetings between these clubs. Lyon keep a solid home record with only half a goal conceded on average but they have drawn two of their last four overall. Rennes have yet to fail to score in any league game so far and their recent results suggest they can trouble the Lyon back line once more. The pattern of low scoring games this season still leaves room for a tight result that suits the visitors.
