On the 6th of November, Lille hosts Rennes at Stade Pierre-mauroy in a meeting of these two Ligue 1 teams. The game day is forecasted to be a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 11 degrees, which will be a great treat for players. In their last match, 7th placed Lille, recorded a 0-1 loss against Olympique Lyonnais. Alexandre Lacazette scored the first goal for Olympique Lyonnais in the 74th minute, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring At the end of 90 a dissapointed Lille couldn’t manage to score, and Olympique Lyonnais took the shutout win. Lille should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 18 points in their last 10 matches, while in their last match, 3rd placed Rennes, recorded a 3-0 shutout win against Montpellier. Martin Terrier struck first for Rennes in the 15th minute on a feed from Lovro Majer, then Arnaud Muinga added another in the 23rd minute In the end, Montpellier was frustrated by Rennes’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Rennes ended the match with the shutout victory. Rennes is on a hot streak lately, having won 7 of their last 10.
These two teams have not yet played each other this season. Last season Lille won the head to head battle with 1 win and 1 draw.
Amine Gouiri has been on a hot streak lately. In the last five games, the attacker has scored 5 goals for Rennes. Lille is fortunate enough to have Jonathan David in top form. In the last five matches the attacker has scored four goals
