But we are still in the second round and in this round Lille must travel to league rival Stade Rennes.

Rennes – Statistics & Current Form

The dress rehearsal for the game in the Coupe de France on Wednesday has succeeded Stade Rennes. In the 23rd game of the French Ligue 1 beat the club from Brittany at home the guests of Amiens 1-0. In the table Rennes climbed to rank nine. That does not sound that spectacular, but it’s worth taking a look at the latest results from Rennes – especially at home. With the victory over Amiens Rennes remained unbeaten in the seventh competitive game at home in a row. Six of these last seven home games could win Rennes – one of them on penalties in the Coupe de France – and only once had the club in league mode share the points with the opponent. Rennes held the back five times in the last seven home games. In the past, Rennes always experienced ups and downs on their home turf. Towards the end of the new season and the start of the new season Rennes remained unbeaten in six competitive games at home in a row – five wins, one draw. It was followed by six home games without a win – two draws, four defeats – before Rennes caught again in early December 2018 and developed the current series of seven unbeaten home games in a row. Overall, Rennes at the present time of the season with the achievements so far quite satisfied.

Despite finishing ninth in Ligue 1, the gap to Europa League rank four is just four points. Speaking of Europa League: In this competition, the club reached the knockout round in mid-December and meets there in the sixteenth finals on Betis Sevilla. In the Coupe de France Rennes now has a great chance to reach the quarter-finals. So far, the first division in this competition has hardly been seriously challenged. With Stade Brest from Ligue 2 and amateur club Saint-Pryve Rennes had two compulsory tasks to master. While it was enough for the amateurs to a sober 2-0 victory, Rennes had in the round against Brest in their own stadium to the penalty shootout. In the game against Rennes Lille were the odds for a tip to a victory at the beginning even lower. The bookmakers have increased these in the last few days, however, a little.

Koubek; Bensebaini, Mexer, Da Silva, Zeffane; Bourigeaud, Andre, Grenier, Lea Siliki; Ben Arfa, Sarr

Lille – Statistics & Current Form

If the LOSC Lille Association is allowed to pick a day when the team is allowed to play its games, the election would probably fall on Friday. Last week, Lille played for the fourth time in a row on a Friday and drove the fourth victory. Lille did not stand a chance for Nice guests at home 4-0. This continued the success of the club from the north of France. Thanks to the success of Nice Lille now comes to six competitive games in a row. It was the only six games in this calendar year so far that Lille could win. In fact, Lille has lost just one of the last eleven competitive matches – eight wins, two draws. In Ligue 1, Lille placed second behind PSG and now has nine points on St. Etienne in fourth place, but still has a catch-up game in the hindquarters. Unlike in the other four top leagues in Europe, only the first two qualify directly for the Champions League, while the third qualify.

After the achievements so far Lille wants now necessarily in the premier class and must, in order to avoid the qualifying, defend a lead of three points on Olympique Lyon. The champions and cup winners of 2011 had only a brief period of weakness, as there were only two of twelve possible points in the four games in Ligue 1 between early November and early December. Otherwise, however, Lille plays a tough season, which is all the more astonishing when you consider that the club last season with only one point ahead of the relegation places held the class. The last defeat that conceded Lille was at home in 1: 2 against Toulouse on 22.12.2018. Away, Lille has won his last five competitive matches all. Similar to the opponent, Lille was in the current course of the Coupe de France not really required. In turn, it was enough against second division side Sochaux and the amateurs of FC Sete 34 each only to a 1-0 win. In Rennes there was nothing to get Lille last. This could be one of the reasons that in the game of Lille in Rennes, the odds for a tip on away win despite the magnificent run of the guests are still higher.

Expected formation of Lille:

Maignan; Kone, Soumaoro, Fonte, Celik; Bamba, Thiago Maia, Soumare, Pepe; Leao, Luiz Araujo
