Tip and bets
We are not expecting too many goals in this game. Both clubs will probably try to play cautiously. Lens got off to a perfect start of a new season, reaching the 3rd spot in the standings. The Blood and Golds are unlikely to go forward since the first minutes of the match against Rennes.
We offer to place a bet on total under 2,5 goals
But if we have to choose a favourite, we are giving a slight edge to Rennes. Club started the season in a poor form, but the Red-Blacks finished the previous campaign inside of Top-5. Genesio's team will surely be motivated to get a victory.
Our second bet is on Rennes to win the match
