In most of the last decade, Rennes was one of the best Ligue 1 teams. However, last year, they finished tenth. Rennes surely have ambitions to fight at least for the places in the European cups. Julien Stephan's team started the 2024/25 season with six points from the first four matches. In the previous game, they won 3-0 at home against Montpellier. The two teams had a similar number of goal-scoring opportunities, but the quality of Rennes' chances was much better, so Stephan's team secured another victory.
Lens have been excellent since they returned to Ligue 1 in 2020, as they haven't been lower than seventh place since then. Lens started the 2024/25 season with an outstanding eight points from the first four matches. In the previous game, they played 0-0 at home against Lyon. Lens struggled with creation in that match as they finished with xG of only 0.70, but the opponent was even worse in that segment. Eventually, the teams split the points.
Rennes vs Lens pick: Both teams to score - yes
Rennes scored eight goals in four matches this season. On the other hand, Lens scored at least one goal in four of the previous six games in all competitions. Both teams to score - yes should be the best bet for this tie.

Rennes team news
Rennes' Leo Ostigard missed the previous game due to yellow-card suspension. The defender played in all 270 minutes before suspension, so we should expect the Norwegian to return to the starting lineup on Saturday evening. Carlos Andres Gomes and Dogan Aldemar are injured and will not play against Lens.
