Preview
Olympique Lyonnais and Rennes face at Parc Olympique Lyonnais, in a match for the 16th round of the Ligue 1. The head‑to‑head history of the last 3 years favours the home team, since in the last 7 matches they won 3, tied 2 and lost 2. The last head‑to‑head between these two teams was played on 11‑02‑2018, and ended in a (0‑2) win by Rennes. The home/away factor is worth special atention, since although this is a match between 3rd and 14th of the league table, it’s also a match between the 5th best team in home matches and the 8th best in away matches.

In their home matches there are a few frequent results: at half‑time 1‑0 (5 out of 8 matches) and after the 90' 2‑0 (3 out of 8 matches).
