Lille Preview – Can Lille build on recent win?

Lille halted a run of 3 straight defeats in Ligue 1 on the weekend when they recorded a much-needed 2-1 win away from home at Strasbourg which helped them back up into 4th spot in the French top flight, much to the relief of their fans and manager, Christophe Galtier.

The hosts will now return to more familiar surroundings of their Stade des Alpes where they’ll be looking to register back-to-back wins at their top four rivals, Rennes, in Tuesday night’s showdown for the Champions League qualifier spot.

Lille had previously suffered defeats to Monaco 5-1, Dijon 1-0 and a 2-0 loss to PSG which had threatened Lille’s chances of nailing down the Europa League position, but if the hosts want to be serious challengers for a 3rd place finish, they’ll need to make up ground on Rennes who are currently 6 points ahead of them.

A home win here therefore is essential and having lost just once at home all season (to PSG) amidst an overall record of 8-2-1 18/7, they’ll be fairly confident they can get the right result here, but they’ve beaten Rennes in just 1 of their last 6 meetings.

Our betting suggestion:

Rennes Preview – Can Rennes continue recent run?

Rennes occupy 3rd place in Ligue 1 and as mentioned previously, hold an important 6-point cushion above their Tuesday night’s hosts, so the visitors have no need to take risks and commit numbers forward in attack here unless they absolutely have to.

The visitors have lost just 1 of their last 9 matches overall in the French top flight and are currently enjoying a solid spell of results, with these consistent results having helped press their claims for a Champions League spot for next season.

Rennes are also just 3 points adrift of 2nd placed Marseille too, so they know that all three points in this important clash would see them draw level on 43 points with Marseille and depending on goal difference, could even move into 2nd spot.

Having put together a 4-match unbeaten run on the road, winning 3 of these last 4 matches with victories at Metz, Lyon and Nimes, Rennes also look in good shape to get a result here on Tuesday night.
