Rennes vs Lille prediction 08.11.2026 | Ligue 1

Rennes return to domestic action after a 0:0 Europa League draw against Olympiacos at Roazhon Park on Wednesday afternoon.

Franck Haise's side were left frustrated in a hard-fought contest against their Greek visitors. Despite having more of the ball and several efforts on goal, the Ligue 1 side were forced to settle for a point. 

Before Thursday’s drab draw, Rennes had seen at least three goals scored in seven of eight previous fixtures. A total of 29 goals were scored in their six most recent matches, including a 5:2 defeat at Nice in last weekend’s Ligue 1 contest.

Rennes had scored a 3:0 win against Strasbourg in their previous home Ligue 1 fixture two weeks ago. 

The hosts now sit fifth in Ligue 1 with 16 points collected from nine matches.

A strong home record should give Haise’s side confidence this weekend. Rennes remain unbeaten in five Ligue 1 games at Roazhon Park this season, recording four wins and one draw while scoring 13 goals.

Haise has some selection concerns ahead of Sunday's contest. Esteban Lepaul remains sidelined with an ankle injury, while Brice Samba and Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal will be assessed ahead of kick-off.

Lille make the trip to Rennes after grinding out a 0:0 Champions League draw away to Bodo Glimt in Norway on Tuesday evening.

Davide Ancelotti's side had the better of the chances but could not break the deadlock in the Arctic Circle.

Lille had lost each of their first three UCL games before picking up their first point against the Norwegians. 

Before drawing a blank against Bodo, Les Dogues had scored at least one goal in 11 of 12 previous matches.

While yet to impress on the European stage, Lille’s domestic form has been solid. Ancelotti’s men claimed a 1:0 home victory over Lens last Friday, after 1:1 draws against Monaco and Brest.

The visitors come into this weekend’s contest sitting second in Ligue 1 with 18 points collected from their first nine matches.

Ancelotti's men have bagged seven points from four away league matches, winning at Angers and Toulouse before losing to Nice and drawing with Monaco.

Lille have several injury problems to deal with this weekend. Tiago Santos and Hamza Igamane remain sidelined with knee injuries, while Nabil Bentaleb and Ayase Ueda missed the midweek trip to Norway and are likely to miss out for the away side.
