Rennes vs Lyon Prediction
Rennes have scored just two goals in their three league games thus far and will look to improve upon that record. Notably, they have won their last three home games, keeping two consecutive clean sheets.
Mahdi Camara will serve a suspension here and is the only absentee for the hosts. Djaoui Cissé was struggling with a knock but resumed full training earlier this week.
Lyon extended their winning streak in Ligue 1 to three games in their previous outing and will look to continue their form here. They have lost three of their last five away games and have scored just two goals in the last three.
Long-term absentees Orel Mangala and Ernest Nuamah remain sidelined for this match, but Paulo Fonseca has a full-strength squad at his disposal otherwise.
