Olympique Lyon is now 6th in Ligue 1 with 15 wins, 6 draws, and 9 losses, marking a crucial point. Their recent form, WDWLL, had been inconsistent, and back-to-back defeats under UEFA against Manchester United and in Ligue 1 2-1 against Saint-Étienne have raised some questions about the direction of the team. Lyon had 59% possession and fired only 2 shots towards the target in the loss against Saint-Étienne, earning 6 corner kicks, committing 13 fouls, and booking 4 yellow cards.
Defensive frailties have been clear, conceding in each of their last 7 matches. High-scoring matches seem to have become a trend, with their last 8 games going over 2.5 goals and both teams netting during that time. Discipline is also problematic, with over 4.5 cards being dished out in 4 of their last 5 games.
Tensions are on the rise off the field, with some players venting their frustrations at coach Paulo Fonseca. But there are some bright spots: Corentin Tolisso's recovery from injury has progressed better than expected, and he might be fit enough to return before the end of the campaign after being initially ruled out for the season. In the latest transfer news, Saïd Benrahma has completed his permanent move from Lyon to Neom SC in Saudi Arabia.

✈️ Stade Rennes: form and statistics
Stade Rennais stands on the 10th position in the league table with a tally of 12 wins, 2 draws, and 16 losses. The recent form of LWLWW indeed says this is a team coming to rhythm. A remarkable victory in the Breton derby against FC Nantes with a 2-1 scoreline was the manager Habib Beye's first derby win and a testimony to the potential of the team. Rennes was dominant in that game, having 66% possession, 10 corner kicks, 24 fouls, 3 yellow cards, and 5 shots on target.
Rennes has performed well away from home, winning four in their last five matches. Goals came in order, and all these matches produced over 2.5 goals in five of their last seven games. On the defending side, their last three games saw them concede, and this is something they need to work on.
Manager Habib Beye is currently in dual planning for the next transfer window, aiming to further strengthen a side that is starting to fit with his long-term vision. The backing of management suggests sustainable long-term thinking. The frontman is Musa Al-Taamari, the Jordanian winger who was acquired from Montpellier HSC in February 2025 for €8 million. He scored his first for the club on April 13 against Le Havre AC in a 5-1 win, showing his worth.
📋 Stade Rennes Lineup
🔖 Expected Lineup: (3-5-2): Brice Samba; L. Brassier, A. Rouault, J. Jacquet; D. Cisse, Seko Fofana, A. Matusiwa, L. Assignon, A. Truffert; A. Kalimuendo, M. Al-Taamari

⚽ Olympique Lyon vs Stade Rennes Match Prediction 26 April 2025
This Sunday is set to bring very intense action within the Olympique Lyon and Stade Rennais game itself. Both are teams quite attacking but very leaky in defenses. Lyon's crisis of form combines with internal squad tensions. It gives a very real opportunity to Rennes to upset the odds-even away from home. Nice away record and momentum from derby victory make Rennes a dangerous team by the way. Definitely expect goals, cards, and drama. Not clean sheets, though.
