Lyon vs Rennes Live Score and Live Stream

Preview

Lyon were up against Rennes in the Ligue 1 of France on April 26. Lyon came out on top, securing a 4-1 win.

Malick Fofana scored the first goal of the game on the 8th minute of the match, tipping the balance in Lyon's favor. This was followed by goals from Corentin Tolisso, Alexandre Lacazette, Mohamed Meite and Georges Mikautadze, making the final score 4-1.

The spotlight turns to the field where Lyon and Rennes prepare to meet again, 8 months after the previous Ligue 1 match that concluded in a 3-0 victory for Rennes. With losses to Saint-Etienne and Manchester United, Lyon's form has dipped ahead of this clash. Focusing on defensive improvements could pave the way for better results, as their defensive frailties have been apparent as they have been conceding goals for seven consecutive matches now.

Rennes, on the other hand, come into this clash with momentum, following two straight victories against Nantes and Le Havre in their most recent games. For all that, their backline has lacked consistency, having conceded goals in each of their last three matches.

This Ligue 1 encounter highlights the attacking players who have stood out for Lyon and Rennes throughout the campaign, even in challenging moments. Lyon’s offensive unit, crafted under Paulo Fonseca’s leadership, has leaned on Rayan Cherki and Georges Mikautadze, as they continue to drive the team’s attacking efforts forward. Lacazette has emerged as Lyon’s leading scorer in Ligue 1 this season, netting twelve goals, with Cherki leading their creative tally in the league with eleven assists. Adding further support are Malick Fofana, Corentin Tolisso and Ernest Nuamah, who have combined to deliver key goals and assists for the team.

Meanwhile, Rennes’s top finisher Arnaud Kalimuendo and Ludovic Blas have played important roles in ensuring their attack, carefully orchestrated by Habib Beye, remains effective. Rennes’s top scorer in Ligue 1, Kalimuendo, has fourteen goals this season, as Blas continues to lead their creative efforts in the tournament with eight assists. Rennes’s attacking depth is further showcased by Lorenz Assignon, Amine Gouiri and Azor Matusiwa, who have each made valuable contributions this season.
