It is, on paper, a great poster between two ambitious French footballers. This Sunday, November 24, is also the first of Jorge Sampaoli on the bench of the Breton collective. From 3 p.m., LOSC (4th) hosts a struggling Stade Rennais (14th) at the Pierre-Mauroy stadium. The bookmakers have decided and are placing their confidence in the Mastiffs for this match.
With odds of 1.85, LOSC Lille are widely favored against Rennais rated at 4.00. The draw is proposed at 3.45, underlining the expected domination of the locals. Operators anticipate a rather close encounter, with a preference for a score of 1-0 in favor of LOSC (odds of 6.00), closely followed by 2-1 (6.30) and a 1-1 draw (5.30).
Towards a narrow success for LOSC at Stade Rennais?
As for the scorers, it is no surprise that Canadian striker Jonathan David is the favorite with an odds of 2.25. Mohamed Bayo (3.00) and Younes Lachaab (3.45) complete the podium of the most likely scorers according to the bookmakers. On the Rennes side, Arnaud Kalimuendo appears to be the main offensive threat with a rating of 3.75.
More prolific scores like 3-3 (41.00) or 4-4 (176.00) are considered very unlikely, as is a big victory for Stade Rennais away. The odds for a 0-4 (101.00) or a 0-5 (201.00) in favor of the Bretons demonstrate the little credence given to such a scenario.
In summary, the bookmakers predict a controlled victory for LOSC, probably by a goal difference, with Jonathan David in the role of the executioner of Rennes.
