Team News

Nantes
Rennes
  • Charles Traoré will be suspended here, limiting the hosts' options in defence.
  • After being sent off on 17 minutes in the week, look for Nicolas Pallois to be included from the off here.
  • Ignatius Ganago is available again after missing several matches following the sudden death of his young daughter.
  • Andy Delort could also be an option in attack.
  • Look for Joe Rodon and Arthur Theate to return in defence after not featuring in the week.
  • Benjamin Bourigeaud will start here, having missed the team's elimination at the hands of Shakhtar Donetsk due to suspension.
  • Amine Gouiri could also be an option in attack for the visitors, either in place of Kalimuendo or on the left flank.

Prediction

  • There's no love lost between these two sides in this derby encounter, but with Rennes having played 120 minutes in the week, Nantes may have a slight advantage.
  • That said, Nantes played more than seventy minutes with 10 men as they chased the tie against Juventus and could also feel leggy here, making for a slightly dour affair.
