Best Tip: Over 1.5 goals

The statistics suggest we don't have an obvious winner in this fixture, but good reason to think Rennes and Lens will score 2 or more goals between them. That has been the case when they've gone head-to-head historically, and neither Julien Stephan or Franck Haise has served up too many 0-0s lately either. The bookies predict over 1.5 goals too, with odds of 1.25 equating to about a 77% probability.
