Stade Rennais faces FC Nantes for the 7th day of Ligue 1, this Sunday (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Breton club.
Stuck in the soft underbelly with the same number of points, Rennes and Nantes meet this Sunday evening for a tempting and explosive Breton derby. A poster that the Rennais still approach with the status of favorite in view of the forces present. However, Bruno Genesio’s training will have to offer a much more consistent copy than its last performances to get rid of its neighbor.
For this match, Bruno Genesio intended to give Martin Terrier some playing time, but the striker, ill, finally withdrew. “ Unfortunately, I will not be present for this evening’s derby, which was an opportunity to meet at Roazhon Park after my long injury. I am ill and therefore unavailable for this match. I am disappointed and frustrated by this missed meeting, but it is only a postponement. A big thank you for all your words that I have received or read since the announcement of my return. I wish my teammates a good match and we’ll see you next Sunday at home“, explained the striker on social networks.
A last minute package which adds to another absence of note since Enzo Le Fée is also in the infirmary for this derby. The Rennes eleven should, however, look good. A 4-2-3-1 system is expected with several executives in the offensive animation, from Bourigeaud and Kalimuendo, via Blas or Gouiri. Mandanda will obviously hold his place in the goals.
The expected composition of Rennes : Mandanda – Assignon, Omari, Theate, Truffert – Bourigeaud, Matic – Blas, Gouiri, Salah – Kalimuendo.
