The Ligue 1 match between Lille and Rennes promises to be a pivotal encounter, particularly for the visitors as they strive for European competition qualification. Rennes, currently positioned in the middle of the table, requires a victory to bolster their hopes of securing a spot in continental tournaments . Conversely, Lille has already been ruled out of European contention but could play the role of spoilers, as evidenced by their recent performance against Nice. This dynamic adds an intriguing layer to the match-up.
LOSC Lille will face off against Rennes on Matchday 12 of the Ligue 1 2024/25 season at the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Les Dogues are fourth on the points table with 19 points in 11 games. They have won five matches, drawn four and lost two matches.
Lille are coming to this game on the back of a draw against OGC Nice. On the other hand, Rennes have lost against Toulouse in their last game. During the last 30 meetings with Lille OSC playing at home, Lille OSC have won 16 times, there have been 13 draws while Stade Rennes have won once. The goal difference is 43-20 in favour of Lille OSC.
Rennes will head into this game hoping the two-week international break has rejuvenated the players. They are really struggling so far, and come into this match having posted back-to-back defeats.
A 2-0 fall at home to in-form Toulouse just before the break left Rennes 13th in the Ligue 1 standings. They are just two points above the automatic relegation position and have now failed to score in their last two matches.
