Match Preview

The Great Danes welcome Stade Rennais FC to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy on Saturday for this Ligue 1 match. Lille could leapfrog Nantes into ninth should they better their result on the final day of the season. Rennes needs to win and hope one of Monaco or Marseille loses to snatch a Champions League place. However, defeat could see them lose their European qualification entirely should Strasbourg and Nice win elsewhere.

LOSC Lille come into the match having picked up six points from a maximum of 18 from their last six matches.

Les Dogues won their last league match away to OGC Nice. Expected goals of 2.5 to 1.0 in favour of Lille indicates it was likely a fair result. Les Dogues's Jonathan Christian David was in good form as he scored a brace of goals against Nice including the second and ultimately winning goal of the game. David now has 15 goals this season in the league for Lille and is 2.5/1 to get on the scoresheet again here. The final score of the match was 1-3.

Their opponent on Saturday, Stade Rennais FC, come into the match on a run of two away defeats in a row. They have picked up nine points from a maximum of 18 from their last six Ligue 1 matches.

Les Rennais won their last league match at home to Olympique Marseille. Expected goals of 1.2 to 0.3 in favour of Rennes indicates it was likely a fair result. Martin Terrier was instrumental in creating both of Rennes's goals against Marseille. Terrier now has three assists this season in the league for Rennes. The final score of the match was 2-0.

While Terrier was the creator here, his usual role this season has been as their main goalscorer. He is Stade Rennais FC’s top scorer with 21 goals in Ligue 1 this season and is the 5/1 favourite to score the opener against LOSC Lille on Saturday.

LOSC Lille team news

Edon Zhegrova and Gabriel Gudmundsson only made it to halftime before being replaced after a disappointing first half. They would be the most likely to lose their places with Jonathan Bamba and Domagoj Bradaric potentially replacing them from the start. Former Manchester United man Angel Gomes was withdrawn due to injury with twelve minutes remaining last weekend. While the severity isn’t yet known, he is unlikely to start here with Leny Yoro potentially replacing him from the start.

Midfielder Xeka will also miss the final game of the season due to an ankle injury. Hatem Ben Arfa is also expected to miss this match due to an internal disciplinary issue. The former Newcastle man had a heated argument with manager Jocelyn Gourvennec back in April and is expected to be released from his contract over the summer. LOSC Lille are likely to otherwise stick with a winning team after beating OGC Nice in their last league match.

Stade Rennais FC team news

Injuries will rule out Jeremy Gelin due to an ACL injury and Loïc Badé due to a groin injury for the trip to the Stade Pierre-Mauroy. Kamal-Deen Sulemana faces a late fitness test this week as he struggles with a back injury.

Stade Rennais FC are unlikely to make many unforced changes to the side that beat Olympique Marseille in their last league outing.
