Rennes hosts Lyon this Sunday as part of the 12th day of Ligue 1 (5:05 p.m.). Here is the expected line-up for the Breton club.
A match against Lyon always has a special flavor for Bruno Genesio. Since his arrival in Rennes, the technician has gotten into the habit of taking on the role of executioner of his former club, he who had left the Rhône in total confusion.
Suffice to say that this match against OL will be a new opportunity to seize for the Stade Rennais coach. Genesio is no longer really vengeful. Time has taken its toll. But Rennes, struggling in the league, intends to make a move after recovering in the Europa League in the middle of the week, against Panathinaikos (3-1).
With this in mind, Genesio records excellent news with the return of Steve Mandanda. The experience of the 2018 world champion will be a major asset in this high-tension match. The other Rennes executives are expected at kick-off, from Bourigeaud to Matic, via Truffert, Blas and Kalimuendo. Martin Terrier, formerly of OL, will be another lethal weapon for Rennes.
The expected line-up for Rennes : Mandanda – G. Doué, Wooh, Theate, Truffert – Blas, Bourigeaud, Matic, Le Fée – Kalimuendo, Gouiri.
