Looks like we're in for quite a match-up between Olympique Lyonnais and Stade Rennais, folks--I mean, friends! Previously, Rennais has given Lyonnais a run for their money, proving victorious in two out of four recent face-offs. But let's take a gander at the player stats, shall we?
Stade Rennais has some heavy hitters with goalie Brice Samba maintaining a 7.00 rating with 7 saves. We've got Adrien Truffert leading as a top player with a rock solid 7.90 rating, 1 goal and a 89.6 accurate pass %. He's followed by Arnaud Kalimuendo, who's got the magic foot with 3 goals this season.
For Olympique Lyonnais, the galaxy-brained Rémy Descamps might be worth keeping an eye on, with a 6.80 rating and 4 saves. Rayan Cherki is the star player shining bright with a 7.70 rating, 2 goals, and a 86.3 accurate pass %.
When we eyeball the regular season records, Olympique Lyonnais seems a bit more formidable with a 15-6-9 track record, compared to Stade Rennais' less stellar 12-2-16. As for recent results, both teams have seen better days, but Stade Rennais' 5-1 enthusiast-thriller against Le Havre does spice things up a bit.
Despite the human unpredictability factor, if I have to put my money where my mouth is, I'd say the edge might just go to Olympique Lyonnais. Losing to your opponent more than once does tend to light a fire under the wings, not to mention they've got a more commendable track record this season.
