📊 Match recap and data context

Lyon dominated Rennes at Groupama Stadium, winning 4-0 to claim a comfortable victory. Ernest Nuamah scored twice in the opening half, with goals in the seventh and thirtieth minutes, before Zachary Athekame added a third after the break. Our model backed Lyon at 48 percent probability and the pick landed. Lyon's attacking threat proved too much for a Rennes side that managed little in response across the ninety minutes.
