----------------------------------------

Stade Rennais: The team still has a chance to win European football ( Recent Form: W W W L D )

Before the interland break, Stade Rennais went through an unfortunate week with elimination in the Europa League by Arsenal and a poor performance visiting Girondins de Bordeaux, which resulted in a 1-1 draw. With ten games to go for Julien Stephan's team, the backlog in fourth place, now occupied by Olympique Marseille with 47 points, has only played six points with a duel less than the competition, making placement for European football still possible for les Rouge et Noir. The team is also still active in the Coupe de France, which means that European football can be secured in several ways. One of the secret weapons of les Rouge et Noir this season are corners. Out of 152 corners, six goals were scored this season, something that no team did better, although Paris Saint-Germain, Olympique Marseille and Angers also scored six goals from corners. In total, even 21 of the 39 goals were scored from crosses and dead game situations, while other open game situations only scored sixteen times. In comparison: PSG scored no less than 48 times, or three times as often, from open game situations, compared to 37 goals from crosses and dead game situations.

Olympique Lyonnais: Second place still seems feasible ( Recent Form: W W D L W )

After 29 rounds of play in Ligue 1, Olympique Lyonnais is in third place with 53 points, the same place as last season was achieved. Where last season the battle for second place remained exciting until the end of the season, this can also be the case this year. The backlog of OL in second place, now occupied by the surprising Lille, is four points and both teams are still playing against each other in Lyon in the final phase of the season. In addition, six out of nine remaining opponents of Olympique Lyonnais can be found in the right-hand row, so that Bruno Génésio will expect his players to compete for second place in the remainder of the season. One of the defining players in the final phase of the season might just be Memphis Depay. Last season Depay had nineteen hits in 36 league games, but this season the counter is currently six hits in 27 games, or a fall in productivity of nearly sixty percent. Last season the Dutchman was in blood form at the end of the season with ten hits in the last nine games, so expectations are high. Certainly because Depay impressed the Dutch team with three goals and three assists, so he was involved in all six Dutch hits against Belarus and Germany.

THE BETTING VERDICT:

After all, Lyon is not strong in defense. Their public goods can overtake the enemy but the ability to keep clean sheets is very disappointing. In addition, Rennes can return to home. Here, they are still doing well with shooting performance not bad. This match will be quite attractive.
