Stade Rennais will host Olympique Lyon at Roazhon Park on Sunday in another round of the 2023-24 Ligue 1 campaign.
The home side have struggled to impress in the league this season despite their exploits on the continental stage. They were beaten 2-0 by league leaders Nice in their last Ligue 1 outing but returned to winning ways on Thursday with a clinical 3-1 win over Panathinaikos in the UEFA Europa League.
Stade Rennais sit 11th in the league table with 12 points picked up so far and will be looking to return to winning ways in the competition this weekend.
Olympique Lyonnais have endured a highly turbulent campaign on and off the pitch this season, with new manager Fabio Grosso struggling to steady the ship. They were held to a 1-1 draw by newly-promoted Metz in their last game, with 21-year-old Skelly Alvero scoring a long-range strike five minutes from normal time to rescue a point for Les Gones and open his account for the club.

Stade Rennais vs Olympique Lyonnais Prediction
Rennes' latest result ended a run of back-to-back winless outings and they will aim to kick on from that this weekend. They have lost just one of their eight home matches this season and will be looking forward to Sunday's game.
Last-placed Lyon, meanwhile, remain winless in Ligue 1 this season and will be desperate for a result on Sunday. They have, however, lost five of their last six away league games and could see defeat here as well.
