It would have been difficult to imagine, last summer, that this match between the LOSC
and Stade Rennais would be a clash of extremes. Called to compete for places of honor, these two strongholds of French football no longer swim in the same waters at all. While LOSC monopolizes the top of Ligue 1 while being focused on its European deadlines, Rennes is one of the most disappointing teams this season.
The Breton club even threw its crisis before the break by making a small revolution in its organizational chart with the arrival of the volcanic Jorge Sampaoli to succeed Julien Stéphan on the bench. Will the former OM coach manage to turn things around? The Argentinian has his work cut out for him. And for this first, his team will not leave with the favorite costume…
The expected compositions:
Lille : Chevalier – Meunier, Diakité, Alexsandro, Ismaily – Bouaddi, André (c) – Zhegrova, Angel Gomes, Cabella – David.
Rennes : Mandanda (c) – Assignon, Østigård, Faye, Seidu – Matusiwa, Santamaria – Blas, Gouiri, Jota – Kalimuendo.
Where to watch the match?
This match between Lille and Rennes counting for the 12th day of Ligue 1 will be broadcast this Sunday on DAZN, from 3 p.m.
