Team News

Rennes
Lorient
  • Rennes played a full-strength side in their Coupe de France win over amateurs Le Puy, but should do the same here.
  • Look for Steve Mandanda to return to the eleven.
  • Ludovic Blas is also an option in midfield.
  • Don't expect Lorient to make many changes given their strong form of late, their loss to Nantes last weekend notwithstanding.
  • January signing Panos Katseris appears to have displaced Gedeon Kalulu at right wingback.
  • Tiémoué Bakayoko could also start in midfield.

Prediction

  • Even on short rest, Rennes being at home and their superior attacking options should give them the edge.
  • That said, Lorient are unlikely to simply roll over, given this is a derby match -- expect plenty of vinegar in this affair.
