Prediction: 2-1
Lorient
Rennes will be aiming to stay in the Champions League race when they host Lorient to their Roazhon Park on Matchday 24. Les Rouges et Noirs did well to hold reigning champions PSG to a 1-1 draw at the weekend and they now aim to record their fourth consecutive win in front of home fans. Dutch midfielder Azor Matusiwa is back from suspension, while both Enzo Le Fee and Fabian Rieder are out of contention with injuries.
Les Merlus, on the other hand, aim to recover from a 1-0 loss to Nantes, but seeing that Rennes have turned their Roazhon Park into a real fortress, home win should be considered. As for the visiting team, all Montassar Talbi, Bonke Innocent, Igor Silva, Benjamin Mendy, and Quentin Boisgard are out of contention through injuries. Taking everything into account, we believe that the time has come for Rennes to put an end to their three-game losing run in meetings with Lorient.
Highlighted Team (Lorient):
Founded back in 1926, Lorient is a French football club that competes in Ligue 1. Les Merlus have yet to win the Ligue 1 trophy, but they did well to go all the way in the Coupe de France in the 2001/02 season. In the title game, Lorient defeated Bastia thanks to Jean-Claude Darcheville’s goal.
The same season les Merlus made it to the Coupe de la Ligue final, but Bordeaux proved to be a big catch (0-3) for them in the title game. Lorient welcome their rivals at Stade du Moustoir, the stadium which can hold up to 16,392 spectators. The colour of the team’s home shirt is orange with a little black on it, while white is the dominant colour of their away jersey. In the 2002/03 season Lorient represented France in European competitions.
Les Merlus, though, failed to impress on their debut in the UEFA Cup as they were beaten by Denizlispor in the round 1 double-header.
