RC Lens vs Stade Rennais Prediction and Betting Tips | March 15th 2025

The action continues in round 26 of the French Ligue 1 as RC Lens and Stade Rennais go head-to-head on Saturday. Habib Beye’s men have failed to win their last four visits to the Stade Bollaert-Delelis since February 2015 and will be looking to end this 10-year run.

Moroccan midfielder Neil El Aynaoui came up clutch for Lens last weekend when he netted a 94th-minute winner to hand them a 1-0 victory over Olympique Marseille at the Orange Velodrome.

Before that, Will Still’s side were on a run of four back-to-back defeats, conceding 11 goals and scoring four since the start of February.

Lens have picked up 36 points from their 25 Ligue 1 matches so far to sit eighth in the standings, six points adrift of sixth-placed Olympique Lyon in the UEFA Europa Conference League qualifying spot.

Elsewhere, Stade Rennais were no match for a star-studded Paris Saint-Germain side last time out as they suffered a 4-1 hammering at the hands of the reigning champions.

Beye’s men had won their previous two league outings, seeing off Stade Reims 1-0 at home on February 21, one week before thrashing Montpellier 4-0 at the Stade de la Mosson.

With 29 points from 25 matches, Rennes are currently 12th in the Ligue 1 standings, eight points above 16th-placed Le Havre in the relegation playoff spot.
