The season is still fresh to say this is how it will go, but we can see that a few teams might take the top spot.
Last Season’s Performance
This week we’re looking at two teams with different stats for the season and last season’s performance. One is already in the top 3 while the other is still competing with other teams to secure a spot at the top.
One is looking to earn their third three points, and the other is looking to make their second three points.
As we prepare for another week, we would love to see how the teams are prepared to earn another point. The game might be challenging, but we expect one team to win.
So let’s look at Lens vs. Stade Rennais picks and provide our Ligue 1 predictions for this game.

Lens | Draw | Stade Rennais |
---|---|---|

From the Ligue 1 standings and odds, we can see that Lens is the favorite to win the match, even though there is not much difference in both teams’ odds.
We expect a challenging and exciting game from the two sides, and with the difference between their odds, the game might end up in a draw.
Lens has an expected winning chance of 41% with the +145 France Ligue 1 odds. They have won 47% of matches with these odds. They will likely win since they are almost on average winning percentage.
