Prediction: 1-2
Rennes
All eyes will be on Parc Olympique Lyonnais when Lyon and Rennes take on each other in the round 19 opener. Les Gones are having a season to forget, but a 2-1 win over Bergerac in the Coupe de France surely gave them a confidence boost. Both Ernest Nuamah and Mama Balde are on international duty, while defender Duje Caleta-Car misses out through suspension.
Les Rouges et Noirs, on the other hand, survived Olympique Marseille in the French Cup last 32 at the weekend and given their four-game winning run in all competitions, away triumph should definitely be considered. Even though Warmed Omari serves a one-game ban, we are tempted to place our bets on the in-form visitors. Midfielder Christopher Wooh is on international duty, while both Nemanja Matic and Amine Gouiri are sidelined with injuries. Earlier tis term Lyon defeated Rennes 1-0, meaning that the visitors are hungry for revenge.
