Team News

Troyes
  • Troyes are set to be without a clutch of first-team players for the visit of Rennes.
  • Jeremie Brechet has yet to regain full fitness, and Julien Faussurier has a knee complaint.
  • Stephen Drouin is unavailable with a groin problem, while Granddi Ngoyi has a calf injury.
  • However, Troyes will be boosted by the return of Sebastien Grax and Stephane Darbion, who are both available for selection.
Rennes
  • Frederic Antonetti could well be without Yann M'Vila for the trip to Troyes after he missed the Coupe de la Ligue clash with a knee injury.
  • Benoit Costil and Jean Makoun return from suspension, but Victor Montano, and Abdoulaye Sane are both expected to miss out.

Prediction

  • Troyes welcome Rennes to the Stade de L'Aube hoping to pull away from the relegation zone following a poor start to the season.
  • Jean-Marc Furlan's men sit seven points adrift of safety after earning just one win in 14 games, and they will need to turn their form around if they are to have any chance of survival.
  • However, this weekend they face a Rennes team which edged past the Ligue 1 new boys in the Coupe de la Ligue thanks to a late goal from Romain Alessandrini.
  • Alessandrini, Mevlut Erding and Jonathan Pitroipa have been in great form this term, and manager Frederic Antonetti will hope that the trio can deliver once again as they try and bounce back from defeat against Evian.
  • Rennes may have emerged victorious just a few days ago to book a place in the Semi-Finals of the cup, but with more at stake in this game for the home side, they may well be able to overcome the disappointment of that defeat and earn a positive result.
