Our take

Rennes were clear favourites.

Rennes were the stronger side on L90 Strength (54 vs 21). Recent goals, xG and shots on target narrow the gap for OFI. Rennes were without Q. Merlin. OFI were without C. Sielis. Rennes had 4.2 days of rest, OFI 28.1 and had to travel 2,620 km. Conditions were neutral.

From eScored squad data: each player's weight is his role (core 3, starter 2, rotation 1, depth 0.5) times his share of minutes. Defenders and keepers count to the defence line, forwards to attack, midfielders half to each. EloLambda turns the lost share into fewer goals scored and more conceded (weight 0.1); the totals show how that moves the result chances.
