Team News

Nantes
Rennes
  • Perdo Chrivella will miss out here after being forced off in the Coupe de France final on Saturday.
  • Wylan Cyprien could also be an option in central midfield.
  • Nayef Aguerd will serve the second of a two-game ban after being sent off against Lorient.
  • With Aguerd unavailable, look for Baptiste Santamaria to again play as a makeshift centre-back.
  • Alfred Gomis is expected to make a long-awaited return from a broken hand suffered in mid-March.

Prediction

  • Nantes' supporters in the Tribune Loire have been banned for this match, something which will dampen what would otherwise be a considerable home advantage in this derby encounter.
  • Rennes have been one of the division's best attacking sides, and that, combined with what will no doubt be a comedown following Nantes' Coupe de France win, should be enough for a comfortable away win.
