Rennes will be looking to record back to back wins over Lyon for the first time since September 2023 when the two sides meet at the Roazhon Park on Sunday evening.
The hosts didn't have a Ligue 1 campaign to remember in 2023-24. Julien Stephan's side recorded their worst top-flight finish in five seasons and recorded just seven games at this ground. However, their fans will take heart from the fact that they reached the semi-finals of the French Cup.
Lyon didn't have a great campaign last year either. The Gones did reach the final of the French Cup before losing 2-1 to PSG and also had the fourth-best away record in the division. Fabio Grosso's men had some great results in pre-season, losing just one of their four games but losing the Emirates Cup to Arsenal is not the way they wanted to start the 2024-25 campaign.
Rennes vs. Lyon Betting Tips: Over 2.5 goals
Sunday's game will be the fifth meeting between Rennes and Lyon in five years. The last four meetings have been evenly split. What stood out is the entertaining nature of the games as all but one of them produced at least four goals.
The recent competitive matches of the two sides were also entertaining. Five of Rennes' last six matches produced more than 2.5 goals, while six of Lyon's last seven Ligue 1 games ended with at least three goals scored.
- Best Tip: Over 2.5 goals
- Rennes vs Lyon prediction: 2-2

Laxazette found the back of the net 19 times for the Gones in the French top flight last year and will be looking to continue that form this season.
