Rennes will invite Lyon to Roazhon Park in Ligue 1 action on Sunday. The home team are undefeated in their last six league games while Lyon are without a win in their last five games.
Rennes recorded a 3-0 win over Nantes at home in their previous league outing, thanks to goals from Amine Gouiri, Martin Terrier, and Désiré Doué. It was their second win in a row.
Lyon managed to avoid a fifth defeat in a row as they played out a 1-1 draw against Toulouse last time around. Tete gave them an early lead, scoring a goal in the second minute, but Rafael Ratão scored for Toulouse in the second half to earn a point for his side.

Laurent Blanc was appointed as Lyon's new head coach earlier this week and has his task cut out for him. Les Gones are struggling for form at the moment and, given their poor away form this season, a win for Rennes seems like the likely outcome here.
