Rennes vs Lens: prediction & betting odds September 28, 2025

The Matchday 6 clash in Ligue 1 between Rennes and Lens will take place on September 28 at Roazhon Park. Rennes vs. Lens: prediction and betting odds, statistics.

Rennes

At the start of the current Ligue 1 season, the team has been quite resilient, earning points in almost every match. Over the first 5 rounds, Rennes suffered only 1 defeat away to Lorient, where Habib Beye's side played most of the match with nine men. Since then, the club has gone unbeaten in three consecutive league games (1 win, 2 draws). Notably, Rennes won both of their previous home games in Ligue 1, defeating Marseille and Lyon. The club currently sits in 8th place in the standings.

  • At least 2 goals have been scored in 10 of the team's last 11 matches in the French championship.
  • Rennes' uncompromising home streak in this tournament stands at 16 matches (9 wins, 7 losses).
  • The club has scored in 6 of their last 7 home games in Ligue 1.

Predicted lineup for Rennes (3-5-2)

Brice Samba – Anthony Rouault, Jeremy Jacquet, Alidu Seidu – Quentin Merlin, Seko Fofana, Valentin Rongier, Ludovic Blas, Mahdi Camara – Breel Embolo, Esteban Lepaul.

Defender Abdelhamid Ait Boudlal and midfielder Glen Kamara are injured. Midfielder Valentin Rongier's participation is in doubt.

Lens

Pierre Sage's side is having a decent start to the season, though not without its flaws. In the previous round, the team defeated a strong Lille side, which had been unbeaten in the league at the time. Lens themselves have lost 2 out of 5 Ligue 1 matches, but only in high-profile encounters with Lyon and PSG. The other 3 games ended in victory, and with 9 points, the club occupies 7th place in the league table.

  • Lens' uncompromising streak in the league has reached 6 matches (4 wins, 2 losses).
  • At least 2 goals have been scored in 10 of the club's last 11 Ligue 1 matches.
  • The team has conceded in 9 of their last 11 matches in this tournament.

Predicted lineup for Lens (3-4-3)

Robin Risser – Jonathan Gradit, Samson Baidoo, Malang Sarr – Ruben Aguilar, Adrien Thomasson, Mamadou Sangare, Matthieu Udol – Florian Thauvin, Wesley Said, Ryan Fofana.

Main defender Deiver Machado is unavailable due to injury.

Rennes vs. Lens: Match Prediction

Rennes, as a combative team, rarely suffers setbacks. In the current Ligue 1 campaign, Habib Beye's side has only 1 defeat. However, unlike other clubs that have also lost just 1 out of 5 league matches, the Bretons are not among the leaders but in the middle of the table. This is because Rennes doesn't have many wins. This is not a new problem, but last season the team alternated successful matches with defeats, and now they are mixing them with draws. The Bretons have not won in 6 of their last 9 Ligue 1 matches (2 draws, 4 losses). And now they face a tricky opponent – Rennes has not won in 10 consecutive league meetings with Lens (5 draws, 5 losses).

Lens' resilience is evident, as the club has only lost 2 of their last 8 Ligue 1 matches, with 5 of those games ending in victory. Looking at their away performances, the team has gained at least 1 point in 5 of their last 7 away league games in France. Additionally, Lens' unbeaten streak in head-to-head meetings at Rennes' home in Ligue 1 has lasted 5 matches (2 wins, 3 draws).

I believe the visitors will confirm all existing trends. Prediction – Lens to win or draw

* The starting lineup for each team reflects their lineup in their previous match in this tournament.
