The Ligue 1 is back in action with a new edition this weekend as Rennes take on Lens on Sunday. Both teams have been inconsistent over the past year and have plenty of work to do ahead of this fixture.Rennes secured a sixth-place finish in Ligue 1 last season and were not at their best for much of their campaign. The home side has an impressive squad and will want to take it up a notch this year.Lens, on the other hand, finished only one point behind Rennes and exceeded expectations with some impressive performances. The away side can pack a punch on its day and has a point to prove in this match.Pour celles et ceux qui auraient perdu l'habitude, on vous rappelle quelques bases avant de retrouver un Roazhon Park en vie. 😏 pic.twitter.com/SPnlYoNjqF— Stade Rennais F.C.
