Team News

Rennes
Nantes
  • Alidu Seidu and Ludovic Blas continue to miss out for Rennes.
  • The hosts may go with an unchanged XI for Friday's welcome of Nantes.
  • That would see Rennes use a 3-5-2 setup once more.
  • Having used a three-man backline to go toe-to-toe with Nice last week, Nantes may do so again at Rennes on Friday.
  • Jean-Charles Castelletto returns from a ban, but may not make an immediate return to the XI.
  • Indeed, the visitors may go with the same side that started their narrow victory on the south coast.

Prediction

  • Rennes made it two wins from their last three when they smashed Le Havre 5-1 at Stade Océane last time out, with victory opening up a eight-point gap between themselves and the relegation playoff spot. The home form hasn't been great, however, with Rennes on a two-game losing streak in front of their fans, albeit one of those came against champions PSG.
  • Nantes claimed a huge 2-1 win at European chasing Nice last time out to go three points clear of Le Havre in 16th, and they'll hope to make three wins from four at Rennes on Friday night. Friday's victory on the south coast ended a three-game away losing streak.
  • Rennes are unbeaten in 11 at home against Nantes, and have won the last six meetings between the pair at Roazhon Park.
