Prediction: 1-1
Rennes
Lorient and Rennes go head to head at Stade du Moustoir in the Ligue 1 round 15. Les Merlus aim to put an end to their three-game losing run, and they are likely to leave their hearts on the field. Fit-again midfielder Armand Lauriente is pushing for a start, while all Monconduit, Le Goff, Morel, Lemoine, Diarra, and Jenz are likely to miss the game with injuries.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Lyon and Montpellier. Rennes have been in a much better form of late than Lorient, and we predict that the Champions League-chasing visitors are going to emerge triumphant in Sunday’s showdown. Jeremy Gelin should be the only absentee in the away team. In their last meeting in the French top flight the two teams played out a 1-1 draw.
Highlighted Player (Thomas Monconduit):
Thomas Monconduit is a product of Auxerre football academy. The midfielder made a great progress during his spell with the Stade de l’Abbe-Deschamps outfit and continued playing for the club at senior level. Monconduit scored three goals in 63 appearances for Auxerre II and he played 42 games for the first team from 2012 to 2014.
In 2015 he joined Amiens and you should bear in mind that the 178-cm-tall midfielder made 36 appearances for les Licornes in the 2016/2017 Ligue 2 campaign. Amiens finished the season in second place in the standings and, as a result, they secured promotion to the French top flight. Thomas Monconduit scored three goals during the season and, no doubt, he played a very important role in Christophe Pelissier’s team in the 2016/2017 season.
His main position is central midfield, but he is capable of playing as a defensive midfielder as well. Thomas Monconduit has a contract with Amiens which expires on June 30, 2018 and his preferred foot is right. Louis DENOLLE is the player’s agent.
