Round 17 - Ligue 1

Lille OSC VS Stade Rennais

Stade Pierre-Mauroy

3 January, 2026

Overview:

Lille OSC hosts Stade Rennais in Ligue 1 round 17 at Decathlon Arena. Lille holds strong H2H dominance with 19-21 wins historically, currently 4th in league with solid home form while Rennes sits 6th showing good recent results.[1][3][4][5]

Recent H2H results: Rennes 0-2 Lille (Feb 2025)

Prediction:

Based on current form and stats, we expect a close contest with a final score of 2-1 in favor of Lille OSC.
Lille will control possession and exploit home advantage with structured defense. Rennes may counter-attack using wing speed but face Lille's H2H edge and home strength.
Lille's superior H2H (19 wins), strong home form (6W-1D-1L), and higher league position outweigh Rennes' recent streak. Home advantage tips balance decisively.
