A Sports Betting Pick by ArmchairPunter
Football : France: Ligue 1
Venue: Decathlon Arena
Sunday 24th November 2024, 1400hrs
Lille will head into this upcoming encounter against lowly Rennes at their Decathlon Arena in confident mood as the hosts have put together a seven-match unbeaten sequence in the French top flight that has contributed to their current 4th place position in the Ligue 1 table.
Recent wins against Le Havre, Toulouse and Lens respectively along with points picked up in draws with Strasbourg, Monaco, Lyon and Nice have helped Bruno Génésio’s side up into early contention for a possible European spot for next season.
Lille have slipped to just two defeats throughout this season’s Ligue 1 campaign which were dealt to the hosts by PSG and Saint-Etienne but also includes picking up five wins into the bargain as well, while the bigger picture shows Lille have been handed just two losses in their last 19 home games overall in the domestic top flight.
Rennes currently occupy a disappointing 13th place in the Ligue 1 table and their position in the division hasn’t been helped by the fact that the visitors have managed to capture just one win from their last seven league games.
That rare success came in the form of a 1-0 home win against Le Havre but also includes being dealt four defeats which have been up against PSG, Monaco, Auxerre and Toulouse respectively.
The visitors have also produced a disappointing sequence of results away from home as well, winning just twice in their last 12 matches on their travels and having been handed seven defeats within this period as well, Rennes look to have their work cut out here.
The Betting Verdict
Lille are unbeaten in their last 10 meetings against Rennes in previous exchanges and the hosts look the more likely to grab the all-important three points here at the Decathlon Arena on Sunday afternoon.
