This weekend in Ligue 1, two captivating matches are set to take place: Rennes vs. Lille and Lens vs. Metz. These games promise excitement, fierce competition, and potential upsets.
Rennes vs. Lille (Saturday, 4.00pm)
Rennes, aiming to continue their unbeaten streak in the Ligue 1 season, will welcome Lille to Roazhon Park on Saturday afternoon.
After three consecutive draws, the hosts find themselves trailing Lille by just one point on the league table. With four matches already played, both teams have displayed commendable form.
Our prediction: Rennes 2-1 Lille
Considering the strong start both sides have had in the 2023-24 campaign, we anticipate a thrilling contest at Roazhon Park.
Les Rennais have been impressive, scoring seven goals across two home games this season. Thus, we expect the hosts to have a slight edge over the visitors in what promises to be a closely-fought battle.
Our tipster predict the match to feature over 2.5 goals.
Lens vs. Metz (Saturday, 8.00pm)
Following a disappointing four-game winless run, Lens is eager to kick-start their Ligue 1 campaign when they face Metz at the Stade Bollaert-Delelis on Saturday evening.
Last season’s runners-up have had a slow start, securing only one point from their first four matches. On the other hand, Metz, a newly-promoted side, has accumulated five points so far.
Our prediction: Lens 1-0 Metz
While Lens has struggled in the early stages of the 2023-24 season, this clash presents an ideal opportunity for them to secure their first win.
Despite Metz’s unbeaten streak in the last three games, we believe the hosts will put in a strong performance and claim victory this weekend.
Our tipsters are betting on a home win.
