Round 19 of the best French football league starts with the match-up between Lyon and Rennes. The hosting team has gone through many ups and downs this season. Currently, they are the 16th-placed team with a score of 4 wins, 4 draws, and 10 defeats. Rennes on the other side is 10th-placed with a score of 5 wins, 7 draws, and 6 losses. So it’s going to be very interesting to witness if Lyon finds a way to win the 3 points and escape the relegation zone.
Olympique Lyonnais
Lyon improved their form in December. Namely, after the loss against Marseille (3:0), they won the following 4 duels. First, Lyon beat Toulouse (3:0), then Monaco (0:1), Nantes (1:0), and Pontarlier (0:3) in the Coupe De France. This winning run was stopped by Le Havre when Lyon lost the away match by 3:1. But the good news is that they responded with victory in Coupe De France over Bergerac by 1:2.
So this evening Lyon will definitely show their best and go for another victory in front of their supporters.
Stade Rennais FC
The interesting moment is that Rennes is also in good shape at the moment. After the goalless duel against Toulouse, Rennes won the following 4 games. First, they won the Ligue 1 game against Clermont by 1:3. Then, Rennes faced Guingamp in Coupe De France and won the game by 0:2. This was followed by another victory in the league against Nice by 2:0. And last Sunday Rennes played against Marseille in Coupe De France and won the match after penalties.
Hence, Rennes will play with great confidence tonight and go for another victory.
