Stade Rennais travels to Nice for the 11th day of Ligue 1, this Sunday evening (8:45 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Breton club.
Stuck in the middle of the table, Rennes is up against the wall. The Breton club has had a string of average performances in recent weeks across Ligue 1. In this context, a reaction is expected with regard to the ambitions declared by management last summer. But it is a big piece installed at the top of the championship, Nice, which will present itself on the road to Rennais this Sunday evening.
“ It is a very pragmatic and efficient teamwarned Bruno Genesio. It’s up to us to work, we must find solutions. We work for that with the players. I can tell you that there is buy-in from the guys, you could see it this morning with 100% involvement from the players present. This is why I am rather optimistic, even if I am also realistic and lucid about our situation which does not correspond to our workforce and our objectives. »
What about Terrier?
What will be the choices of the Stade Rennais coach? One case attracts all the attention: Martin Terrier. Rennes’ top scorer and player over the last two seasons, the striker has returned to the field. And Genesio was seriously thinking about putting him back in the starting lineup for this important match. “ He also played with the reserve for that, to have playing time, to find rhythm. Based on what I see in training, our discussions and what I expect from him in relation to the team, it may be the right time. And it’s a wink too, Nice will be a match where he will shine…“. Answer this Sunday evening.
